“…Morphological-based taxonomy is still the foundation of taxonomy although it is generally considered to be artificial (Lindquist 1996;Lindquist and Amrine 1996;de Lillo and Skoracka 2010). The DNA-based method described here present can remove some of the uncertainty associated with morphological-based taxonomy and thus contribute to the identification of deutogyne and protogyne forms of eriophyoid mites.…”

A few eriophyoid mites have two forms of adult female, called protogyne and deutogyne. The latter form is thought to increase survival under unfavorable conditions. The two forms have distinct morphological characters, which often cause them to be recognized as different species. Molecular species delimitation provides a useful tool to solve these misunderstandings. Here we describe a new species of eriophyoid mite, Tegolophus celtis sp. nov., that has protogyne and deutogyne forms infesting Chinese hackberry, Celtis sinensis Pers. (Cannabaceae), an ornamental tree in China. The two forms can be easily differentiated by body shape (fusiform and triangular, respectively) and body color (light yellow and red, respectively). The putative protogyne and deutogyne forms of T. celtis were identified by using fragments of three genes, a mitochondrial gene (COI) and two nuclear genes (18S rRNA and 28S rRNA). Kimura-2-parameter distances of these three fragmental sequences were between 0.0% and 0.9%. Phylogenetic topologies strongly support the occurrence of the protogyne and deutogyne forms with high bootstrap and Bayesian values. The population structure of T. celtis changed with the seasons, with deutogynes being most abundant in summer and protogynes being most abundant in spring. The new species described herein are vagrants on their host plants.

“…The time period from egg to adult requires 7-9 days. Eriophyid mites undergo arrhenotokous reproduction with the males being haploid and a single female capable of establishing a colony [8]. The rapid developmental rate coupled with this reproductive strategy results in tremendous reproductive potential.…”

“…Wheat curl mite (WCM; Aceria tosichella Keifer) belongs to the family Eriophyidae in the superfamily Eriophyoidea [6]. Approximately 4000 species of eriophyoid mites have been reported [7,8]; however, all known eriophyoid species that serve as vectors of plant viruses belong to the family Eriophyidae [5 ,6]. Recently, Stenger et al [5 ] presented a review of eriophyid mites and the viruses transmitted by these mites.…”

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV, genus Tritimovirus; family Potyviridae) is the most economically important virus of wheat in the Great Plains region of the USA. WSMV is transmitted by the eriophyid wheat curl mite (WCM), Aceria tosichella Keifer. In contrast to Hemipteran-borne plant viruses, the mode and mechanism of eriophyid mite transmission of viruses have remained poorly understood, mostly due to difficulty of working with these ∼200 μm long microscopic creatures. Among eriophyid-transmitted plant viruses, relatively extensive work has been performed on population genetics of WCMs, WSMV determinants involved in WCM transmission, and localization of WSMV virions and inclusion bodies in WCMs. The main focus of this review is to appraise readers on WCM, WSMV encoded proteins required for WCM transmission and further details and questions on the mode of WSMV transmission by WCMs, and potential advances in management strategies for WCMs and WSMV with increased understanding of transmission.

“…The body shape and setal arrangement of eriophyoid mites seem to be well fitted for efficient wind dispersal (de Lillo and Skoracka, 2010). Therefore, the dispersal of A. fuchsiae is expected to be mainly wind-borne in the field (Koehler et al, 1985).…”

Scientific Opinion on the pest categorisation ofAculops fuchsiae

The Panel on Plant Health of the European Food Safety Authority performed a pest categorisation of Aculops fuchsiae, a mite listed in Annex II, Part A, Section I of Council Directive 2000/29/EC as a harmful organism not known to occur in the community. A. fuchsiae is, however, established in France and the UK and it was also reported as transient in Belgium and Germany (but systematic surveys are lacking). A. fuchsiae is a distinct taxonomic entity. The known hosts of A. fuchsiae are Fuchsia spp. This exotic plant genus is naturalised in several areas of Europe and is widely present in the risk assessment area, both in the open field and under protected cultivations, as well as in gardens. The impact in terms of quality loss on fuchsia plants caused by the pest has been described in the European Union. However, no quantitative data on these losses have been reported yet. Plants for planting are the main pathway for introduction and spread of A. fuchsiae, which may cause severe impacts on the intended use of the plants for planting. In Europe, the climatic conditions do not seem to be the key limiting factor for establishment and spread in the open field and under protected conditions. Establishment and spread could occur provided that suitable hosts (Fuchsia spp.) are present. Further spread is anticipated from the areas where the pest is currently present, mainly by movement of plant material through trade and exchange.
