“…Although the application of integrative methods to discover the diversity of life has been successfully applied in recent studies (Schwentner et al ., ; Barata et al ., ; Henry et al ., ; Koutroumpa et al ., ; Marin et al ., ; Milankov et al ., ; Montaña & Winemiller, ; Reid et al ., ), the traditional approach of species discrimination based on morphological characteristics remains in common use in taxonomic, faunistic, and agricultural surveys (Guanilo et al ., ; Pye, ; Debnath & Karmakar, ). As such, in the present study, we strove to identify morphological traits that could be used to discriminate between the genotypes of WCM and DBM.…”

Two economically important eriophyoid mites, Aceria tosichella (wheat curl mite; WCM) and Aceria tulipae (dry bulb mite; DBM), were frequently confounded in the world literature until the late 20th Century. Their morphological similarity and ambiguous data from plant‐transfer and virus‐transmission trials contributed to this confusion. Until recently, there was a general lack of knowledge about the existence of species complexes and it was not possible to accurately genotype tested mites. In the present study, two WCM genotypes of divergent host specificity (MT‐1 and MT‐2) and one DBM genotype were tested for the acceptance of Poaceae, Amarylidaceae, and Liliaceae species that were reported or suspected as hosts of WCM or DBM. The MT‐1 lineage colonized all tested plants. Onion‐ and garlic‐associated DBM populations did not colonize tulip and wild garlic, suggesting that host‐acceptance variability exists within A. tulipae s.l. Morphometric analysis did not discriminate closely‐related MT‐1 and MT‐2 genotypes but completely separated both WCM genotypes from DBM based on the larger overall body size of the latter. Three morphological traits combined to discriminate between the DBM and MT‐1 genotypes, both of which can infest Amarylidaceae bulbs. In total, these combined DNA sequence, host‐acceptance, morphometrical results unambiguously separated two WCM and one DBM genotypes. Similar studies on additional lineages of both WCM and DBM should ultimately dispel previous taxonomic confusion between these two species. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014, 111, 421–436.

“…The genus Tegnacus was described on the basis of specimens collected in England by Pye (2012). The characteristic features of this genus are the hornlike projection between the prodorsal shield lobe and the base of the palps, short first annulus and the absence of seta l″ on genu II (Pye 2012). The specimens originating from the Iranian population are morphologically almost identical to the original description of this species by Pye (2012).…”

Four species of eriophyoid mites are recorded from Iran, of which three represent new records and the other is a new species. These species are: Brevulacus salicinus n. sp. (Diptilomiopidae), found on Salix sp. (Salicaceae); Aceria wallichianae Keifer, 1975 from Ulmus minor (Ulmaceae); Aceria granulata Carmona, 1972 from Verbascum spp. (Scrophulariaceae) and Tegnacus unicornutus Pye, 2012 from Carpinus betulus (Betulaceae). Each of these species are illustrated and provided with data regarding their distribution and host plants.

Supplementary descriptions of an infrequently encountered species Novophytoptus stipae Keifer 1962 (Eriophyoidea, Phytoptidae) from Achnatherum speciosum (Poaceae) based on topotypes recovered from dry plant material from California is given. Comparison of topotypes of N. stipae with fresh Novophytoptus mites from Juncus tenuis and J. balticus (Juncaceae) collected in West Virginia and Ohio failed to reveal distinct morphological differences sufficient enough to establish new taxa. All studied mites are considered belonging to one species, N. stipae. This is putatively an example of polyphagous eriophyoid species inhabiting phylogenetically remote hosts. Remarks on polyphagy and dispersal modes in eriophyoids are addressed. Uncommon features of the gnathosoma and the anal region of novophytoptines were discovered under LT-SEM. These findings emphasize peculiarities of novophytoptines in relation to their endoparasitic life style and underline numerous gaps in our knowledge on anatomy and functioning of the organism of eriophyoid mites.
