“…The presence of cryptic species complicating management strategies has been shown within the Penthaleus species complex. This complex consists of three cryptic pest mite species [Penthaleus falcatus (Qin & Halliday), Penthaleus major (Dugè s), and Penthaleus tectus Halliday) that are difÞcult to distinguish and are also often confused with H. destructor (Qin and Halliday 1996, Weeks and Hoffmann 1999, Halliday 2005. These mites all differ in various aspects of their biology and ecology (Weeks et al 1995;Umina and Hoffmann 1999, 2004Weeks and Hoffmann 1999;Hoffmann 2000, 2001), but they are generally treated identical in terms of control, which has led to control failures (Robinson and Hoffmann 2001).…”

Balaustium medicagoense Meyer & Ryke (Acari: Erythraeidae) and Bryobia spp. Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) are significant emerging pests in Australian grains and pastures. Despite this, there is limited information known on their basic biology, such as species status and reproductive modes, making it difficult to develop effective and sustainable control strategies. The species/strain status of Balaustium and Bryobia mites from southern Australia was examined using a combination of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data. In addition, the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) method was used to examine the reproductive mode and genetic diversity of Ba. medicagoense from 16 populations within southern Australia. Results indicate that there is only one species of Balaustium (Ba. medicagoense) and as many as seven species of Bryobia mites currently present in grain crops, pastures and roadsides within southern Australia. The Bryobia species complex consists of four recently described lineages (Bryobia sp. I, Bryobia sp. IV, Bryobia sp. VII, and Bryobia praetiosa Koch) and three additional genetic lineages (Bryobia sp. VIII, Bryobia sp. IX, and Bryobia sp. X) that have not been described previously. Bryobia sp. VIII, B. sp. IX, and B. sp. I seem to be the most abundant species present in Australian broadacre agriculture (i.e., land suitable for farms practicing large-scale crop [agriculture] operations). The AFLP data revealed that Ba. medicagoense reproduces asexually and that genetic diversity was low with only 10 genotypes found. These findings indicate a new complex of pest mites are present within Australian grain crops and pastures and this has implications for their control.

“…Members of the family Penthaleidae are considered important mite winter pests and we have been observing an increase of their presence and damage in Australia, North America and some parts of Europe (Qin and Halliday 1996;Halliday 2005; WC Welbourn, R Ochoa & RB Halliday, unpubl. data).…”

Because of their small size and tolerance to many of the control procedures used for a wide variety of commodities, Acari species have become one of the fastest, unwanted pest travelers since the beginning of this century. This special issue includes eleven studies on adventive and invasive Acari species affecting major crops and livestock around the world. The nucleus for this special issue is formed by the presentations in the symposium on invasive mites and ticks organized at the International Congress of Acarology in Recife, Brazil (ICA-13), in the summer of 2010. This special issue illustrates the increased concerns about domestic and international invasive mites and ticks worldwide.

The Eupodoidea are reportedly represented in Australia and New Zealand (including their subantarctic islands) by 5 families, 14 genera, and 67 species (37 not identified to named species), as follows. Eriorhynchidae: Eriorhynchus -5 species; Eupodidae: Claveupodes -1, Cocceupodes -3, Eupodes -16, Linopodes -2; Penthaleidae: Chromotydaeus -1, Halotydeus -6, Linopenthalo ides -1, and Penthaleus -6; Penthalodidae: Penthalodes (generic determination need to be confirmed) -1, Stereotydeus -11; Rhagidiidae: Coccorhagidia -3, Poecilophysis -1, and Rhagidia -10. A checklist of all the reported species and a key to the 30 named species are provided.Keywords: Eupodoidea; Prostigmata; Acari; mites; Australia; New Zealand; subantarctic islands; key INTRODUCTIONThe superfamily Eupodoidea (Acari: Prostigmata) currently includes six families: Eriorhynchidae, Eupodidae, Penthaleidae, Penthalodidae, Rhagidiidae and Strandtmanniidae. Members of first five families have been recorded from Australia and New Zealand, including the subantarctic Auckland Island, Campbell Island and Macquarie Island.Until 1994, no comprehensive systematic study of Eupodoidea had been undertaken in these countries, and early records were scattered in the literature (Womersley & Strandtmann 1963;Strandtmann 1964Strandtmann , 1981Zacharda 1980); and eupodoids were often listed as unidentified species (Wood 1964; Spain 1967;Styles 1967;Watson 1967;McMillan 1969;Luxton 1982aLuxton , 1982bLuxton , 1983aLuxton , 1983bMartin 1983). Further systematic research on the Eupodoidea in this region was stimulated by the work of Halliday (1991), who reviewed the taxonomic literature on the redlegged earth mite Halotydeus destructor (Tucker), an important pasture pest. He found that there was confusion about the identity of H. destructor and therefore initiated a programme to study it and its relatives. The results are published in Qin
