Three New Aceria Species (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea) from Hungary on Limonium gmelinii ssp. hungaricum (Plumbaginaceae), Petrorhagia prolifera (Caryophyllaceae) and Gypsophila paniculata (Caryophyllaceae)

Abstract

Three new species of eriophyoid mite, Aceria cumanorum n. sp., associated with Limonium gmelinii ssp. hungaricum (Plumbaginaceae), Aceria feketeistvani n. sp. associated with Petrorhagia prolifera (Caryophyllaceae) and Aceria belarexi n. sp. on Gypsophila paniculata (Caryophyllaceae) are described and illustrated from Hungary. Morphological differences distinguishing these new species from similar Aceria species are discussed. In addition, new date-locality-host records for 9 eriophyoid species are given.
