The Linotetranidae (Acari : Tetranychoidea) is a poorly known group of cryptic false spider mites associated with grasses and sedges. We review the family at the world level, provide the first phylogenetic analysis of the family, and describe the first Australian representatives: Austrolinus, gen. nov. and two new species: A.��arenulus and A. kinnearae. Linotetranidae is redefined, and keys are provided for the families of the Tetranychoidea, and for all described genera and species of Linotetranidae.

Two new species of the genus Aegyptobia Sayed and 1 new species of Phytoptipalpus Trägårdh are described from Iran:A. bromi sp. nov. from Bromus tectorum (Poaceae); A. nazarii sp. nov. from Poa bulbosa L. (Poaceae); and P.kurdistaniensis sp. nov. from wild rose bushes, Rosa woodsii (Rosaceae). This is the first record of Phytoptipalpus fromIran. We also redescribe Aegyptobia beglarovi Livschitz and Mitrofanov, 1967, A. persciae Khorowshahi and Arbabi,1997, A. tragardhi Sayed, 1950, and A. salicicola Al-Gboory, 1987; the latter species has only 2 anal setae and is thusmoved to Phytoptipalpus. Aegyptobia kharazii Mesa and Moraes, 2009 syn. nov. is regarded as a junior synonym ofAegyptobia beglarovi Livschitz and Mitrofanov, 1967; Aegyptobia ueckermanni Khorowshahi and Arbabi, 1997 syn. nov.is regarded as a junior synonym of Aegyptobia tragardhi Sayed, 1950; Aegyptobia daneshvari Parsi and Khosrowshahi,1990 syn. nov. is regarded as a junior synonym of Phytoptipalpus salicicola (Al-Gboory, 1987). A key to all known Iranian species of the genus Aegyptobia is provided.

Four new species of the genus Cenopalpus Pritchard and Baker are described from Iran, namely: C. rubusi sp. nov.,collected from salmonberry bushes, Rubus persicae L.

Six species are re-described: C. saryabiensisAkbar and Chaudhri, 1985, C. lanceolatisetae (Attiah, 1956), C. irani Dosse, 1971, C. abaii Khosrowshahi and Arbabi,1997, C. bakeri Düzgünes, 1967 and C. crataegi Dosse, 1971. Of these species, C. irani reaches high population density and is widespread. A key to all known Iranian species of the genus is provided.

Despite the economic and medical importance of many species of Muscidae knowledge of species occurring in Saudi Arabia is insufficient. As part of a study on the biodiversity of Diptera of south-western Saudi Arabia a survey of the Diptera fauna of Jazan, Asir and Najran was performed from 2010 to 2015 at 22 sites. Seventy one known taxa of Muscidae were identified and recorded, 29 of which were recorded for the first time from south-western Saudi Arabia and two new species; Atherigona (Acritochaeta) afrotropicalis Deeming sp. nov. and Helina ponti Deeming sp. nov. are here described. Thus, the total number of Muscidae species that has been recorded from Saudi Arabia (including previous records of 31 species) is 102 and two subspecies. A list of all species and subspecies of Muscidae recorded from Saudi Arabia is provided. The species of Muscidae listed are predominantly of Afrotropical distribution as compared to other regions. Images of 78 taxa are presented. In addition to the results of the identifications all available literature about Muscidae of Saudi Arabia is summarized. Biological information (where known) on the species recorded in this study and the Middle East distribution are included. By developing a research collection and a checklist of species of Muscidae we hope to provide the basis for systematic studies and biogeographical and faunistic analyses, and the necessary guidelines for management of these important flies. The need for further field and laboratory work and surveillance surveys is highlighted.

Two new species of the genus Eutetranychus Banks are described and illustrated based on adult females and males, E.spinosussp. n. from Indigoferaspinosa Forssk (Leguminosae), E.neotransversussp. n. from Juniperusprocera Hochst. ex Endl. (Cupressaceae), and E.palmatus Attiah, 1967 is redescribed from Washingtoniarobusta H. Wendl. (Arecaceae). Additionally, the intraspecific morphological variations within E.orientalis populations, collected from 28 various host plants and 80 different localities from six regions of Saudi Arabia from 2009 to 2017, are discussed and presented. The genus Eutetranychus is divided into two species groups based on the presence of one seta (orientalis group) or two setae (banksi group) on coxa II. In addition, seven Eutetranychus species are suggested as synonyms of E.orientalis (Klein, 1936) and E.papayensis Iqbal & Ali, 2008 is considered as species inquirenda. A key to all known species of the genus Eutetranychus is provided.

False Spider Mite

False spider mites are serious pests of pomegranate and frequently cause considerable economic losses in other fruit crops as well. A field experiment conducted to evaluate eleven acaricides against Tenuipalpus aboharensis infesting pomegranate plants, revealed that wettable sulphur at 2.5 g and dicofol at 2.5 ml per litre were very effective and other acaricides viz. propargite, fenpyroximate, chlorfenapyr and buprofezin were also found effective against T. aboharensis.
