Abstract
|
Four new eriophyoid mite species of the genus Diptilomiopus Nalepa (Acari: Diptilomiopidae) from China are
described and illustrated. They are D. cotoneastrus sp. nov. on Cotoneaster acutifolius Turcz. (Rosaceae), D.
clidemioidus sp. nov. on Boehmeria clidemioides var. diffusa (Wedd.) Hand.-Mazz. (Urticaceae), D. quinatus
sp. nov. on Vitex quinata (Lour.) F.N.Williams (Lamiaceae), and D. macropodus sp. nov. on Daphniphyllum
macropodum Miq. (Daphniphyllaceae). All new species are distributed in the Oriental Region of China. They
are vagrants on the leaves causing no apparent symptom to their host plants. We further provided mitochondrial
cox1 gene sequences for the four new species.
