“…The last collective work on eriophyid mites' taxonomy was occurred by Zaher (1984). About 30 papers on taxonomy of eriophyid mites in Egypt, from 1919 up to date, have been published by (Dçbski, 1919;Hassan, 1934;Sayed, 1946aSayed, , 1946bAttiah, 1955Attiah, , 1967Attiah, & 1970Osman & Zohdy, 1976;Soliman & Abou-Awad, 1977Abou-Awad, 1979a, 1979b, 1981Abou-Awad & Nasr, 1983a, 1983b& 1986Zaher, 1984;Zaher & Abou-Awad, 1978, 1979, 1980a& 1980bZaher et al, 1978;Osman & Abou-Taka, 1989;Abou-Awad & El-Sawi, 1993;Abou-Awad & El-Borolossy, 1995;El-Halawany et al, 2001 andAbou Awad et al, 2011. About 63 species were recorded.…”

In a field survey, 16 eriophyoid mite species were collected from eight species of fruit trees, among which two species were found to be new record to Egypt. They were Tegolophus guavae (Boczek, 1960) on Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) which causes rust on leaves, and Aceria ziziphi Mohanasundaram, 1990, vagrant without damage on Ziziphus spina-christi Willd (Rhamnaceae). These species were redescribed and illustrated from local material. A total of 65 eriophyoid mite species in superfamily Eriophyoidea has been recorded in Egypt due to literature. These species belong to three families, seven sub families, seven tribes and 27 genera. A list of these species has been constructed and presented herein.

In Australia, infestations of warm‐season turfgrasses by phytophagous mites have been known for >80 yr, but the identities of the mite species involved have remained unresolved. The long‐held underlying assumption among turf managers was that mites of the family Eriophyidae are responsible for the distorted growths frequently seen on Cynodon spp. (bermudagrasses) and Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst. ex Chiov. (kikuyugrass). A national survey during the July 2010 to June 2011 growing season followed by further sampling over the next 6 yr revealed the presence of two eriophyoid mites: Aceria cynodoniensis Sayed, the bermudagrass mite found in the United States and other countries worldwide, and Abacarus cynodonis Abou‐Awad & Nasr, a species not previously recorded outside of the Middle East. The tenuipalpid species Dolichotetranychus australianus (Womersley) was also confirmed as a substantial contributor to mite damage symptoms seen on Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. and C. dactylon × C. transvaalensis Burtt Davey. A newly described tarsonemid species, Steneotarsonemus hippodromus Seeman et al., was found extensively in both turf and pasture plantings of P. clandestinum. Additionally, grass‐webbing spider mites Oligonychus araneum Davis and Oligonychus digitatus Davis (Tetranychidae) also occasionally affect these and a wide range of other warm‐season grasses nonselectively in Australia. This paper describes the field and laboratory sampling procedures used to identify the various mites, document their associated field symptoms for diagnostic purposes, and determine their distribution within Australia. We also discuss the putative origin of each mite species, their international distribution (including some related species), and implications for warm‐season turf producers and facility managers, both in Australia and worldwide.
