“…In Europe, the genus Acaralox Keifer (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyi-dae) currently includes two described species, Acaralox arundinaceus Skoracka and Acaralox croatiae Skoracka, Labrzycka et Rector Skoracka et al, 2009). In the Hungarian fauna no Acaralox species have been reported (Ripka, 2007(Ripka, , 2008, and no Acaralox species have hitherto been found on common agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria L.)
