Two new species of eriophyoid mites viz. Abacarus sundarbanensis n. sp. infesting Pongamia glabra L. (Fabaceae) and Diptilomiopus augustifoliae n. sp. infesting Ambroma augusta (L.) (Sterculiaceae) respectively, are described from West Bengal, India.

Description of four new species, two new records, and mitochondrial COI gene of eriophyoid mites from Nanning, China (Acari: Eriophyoidea)

“…Moreover, the genus Diptilomiopus were found in 7 samples (≈10% of total number of samples). So far, 83 Abacarus species were reported worldwide, among which 50 species infest plant family Poaceae (Amrine & Stasny 1994;Elhalawany & Ueckermann 2015;Elhalawany et al 2019;Elhalawany et al 2020;Laska et al 2018;Skoracka 2004;Sur et al 2018); most Abacarus species found in Guangxi University are also from Poaceae.…”

Two new species of Diptilomiopus Nalepa (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from India

“…Craemer et al (2005) confirmed this synonymy and transferred all additional 16 species described in Vilaia to Diptilomiopus. At present, 102 valid species of Diptilomiopus are known (Craemer et al, 2017;Sur et al, 2018;Amrine 2019, personal communication). So far 9 species of Diptilomiopus have been described on plants of the family Moraceae and 5 species on Anacardiaceae (Table 1).…”
