One known species of the false spider mite genus Pentamerismus, P. judicious De Leon is redescribed. Two new species, P. ueckermanni sp. nov. and P. behsharicus sp. nov. are described and figured based on females collected from Juniperus polycarpus L. leaves, Mazandaran province, Iran.

Mite Genus

We describe two new species of false spider mite in a new genus, Acaricis gen. nov., collected from native Australian sedges (Cyperaceae). The new genus shares morphological characters with the genera Tenuipalpus Donnadieu and Prolixus Beard, Fan & Walter. All three genera have dorsal opisthosomal seta h2 long and attenuate. Acaricis shares the presence of a rostral shield with Tenuipalpus; and shares with Prolixus an elongate body shape, absence of dorsal seta c1, genua I with two setae, nude genua IV, and setae g1 being inserted anterior to g2. Acaricis differs from both genera in having four palpal segments, as opposed to one to three.

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.

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.

Seven species of plant mites are reported from Guadeloupe: two spider mites, Oligonychus biharensis (Hirst) and Tetranychus mexicanus (McGregor), Tetranychidae; one false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis (Geijskes), Tenuipalpidae; two eriophyid mites, Colomerus bucidae (Nalepa) and Ectomerus triquetrus Flechtmann & Etienne, Eriophyidae; two phytoseiid mites, Amblyseius largoensis (Muma) and Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma, Phytoseiidae; and, four new species of eriophyid mites, namely Acalitus cracens n. sp. from Turnera subulata Smith (Turneraceae), Aceria doliolum n. sp. from Haematoxylon campechianum L. (Caesalpiniaceae), Eriophyes gallitor n. sp. from Sideroxylon obovatum (Lam.) (Sapotaceae) and Vasates caritus n. sp. from Haematoxylon campechianum L. (Caesalpiniaceae).

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.

Two new species of the spider mite family Tetranychidae are described and illustrated from Japan: Oligonychus camelliae n. sp. from Camellia japonica L. (Theaceae) at Shinobuyama, Fukushima, Honshu, and Tetranychus misumaiensis n. sp. from Apios sp. (Fabaceae) at Misumai, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Oligonychus rubicundus Ehara is a valid species differing from O. formosanus Lo by the shape of the peritreme and aedeagus, and O. shinkajii Ehara is regarded as a junior synonym of O. modestus (Banks). A Japanese mite Eutetranychus africanus (Tucker) has so far been referred to E. orientalis (Klein) in error.
