Abstract
|
During field surveys of eriophyoid mites in northeast Iran (Razavi
Khorasan, Iran, summer 2023), two new vagrant eriophyid species (Acari:
Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) on Asteraceae plant species were discovered, illustrated
and described. They are Aceria dorbadamiensis sp. nov. on Tripleurospermum
disciforme (C.A.Mey.) Sch.Bip. and Aculus quchaniensis sp. nov. on Aster altaicus var.
canescens (Nees) Serg. We reported an eriophyoid mite on plant genus
Tripleurospermum for the first time. No apparent symptoms were observed on both
host species.
