“…The specimens were examined with a phase contrast microscope Leica DM3000 and photographs were taken with Leica DFC295 camera. All measurements were made following Amrine & Manson (1996) and de Lillo et al (2010) and are given in micrometres (µm). Measurements and means are rounded off to the nearest integer when required.…”

One new genus Subductophyes gen. nov. and two new species of eriophyoid mites viz. Subductophyes digitariae sp. nov. infesting Digitaria ciliaris (Retz.) Koeler (Poaceae) and Mesalox mutica sp. nov. infesting Apluda mutica L. (Poaceae) are described in the tribe Phyllocoptini and Anthocoptini (Eriophyidae: Phyllocoptinae) respectively, from West Bengal, India. Relationship of the new genus and species with other related eriophyoid taxa are discussed.

“…During examination, all parts of plants were destroyed to search for mites, including inside flowers and buds. Several eriophyoid mite specimens were found in this way; these were collected and mounted on microscope slides in Heinze and Hoyer media according to a standard protocol (de Lillo et al 2010), and then studied taxonomically using a phase-contrast microscope (Olympus BX41).…”

Eriophyoid mites (Eriophyoidea) are minute phytophagous mites with great economic importance and great invasive potential. In spite of their demonstrated impact on ecosystem functions, knowledge of eriophyoid mite fauna in the Arctic is lacking. To date, only eight eriophyoid mite species have been recorded from the entire region north of the Arctic Circle. The Svalbard archipelago is one of the most biologically investigated Arctic areas. Despite the fact that studies on invertebrates on Svalbard have been conducted for more than one hundred years, eriophyoids have never been recorded before from this place, except for one likely accidental record of a single specimen belonging to the genus Eriophyes. Thus, each new study of eriophyoid mite fauna in this region is important. In this paper, a new species of eriophyoid mite, Cecidophyes siedleckii n. sp., is described and illustrated. Nucleotide sequence data (D2 region of 28S rDNA) were employed to complement traditional morphological taxonomy. The first record of Aceria saxifragae (Rostrup 1900) from Svalbard is also provided, with supplementary morphological descriptions and illustrations. Eriophyoid mites represent an important and underutilized taxon that is available to ecologists studying the effects of changing climatic conditions on Svalbard.

A new genus, a new generic name and two new species of phyllocoptine mites feeding on Yang-na, or hairy-leaf apitong, Dipterocarpus alatus Roxb. ex G. Don (Dipterocarpaceae) are described. Kosacarus is described as a new genus with Proneotegonotus dipterocarpi �handra-�handra-patya and Boczek, 2000 designated as the type species; a redescription of Kosacarus dipterocapi (�handrapatya and Boczek, 2000) is provided, including the male. Kosacarus rayongi is described herein as a new species. Bangphracarus is described as a new genus with Bangphracarus alatus new species as its type species. The distribution of each mite species is also provided.
