Two New Species

Two new species of eriophyid mites (Acari: Prostigmata) viz. Cosetacus sharadi n. sp., collected from leaf erineum on Cordia dichotoma (Boraginaceae), and Acalitus delhiensis n. sp., collected from leaf erineum on Salvadora persica (Salvadoraceae), are described from India. Cosetacus sharadi has divided feather claw, each branch comprising of 4–5 rays, shield with median line present from rear to mid, admedian lines parallel to median line till mid, then bulging out meeting at the anterior end, submedian lines present from anterior to mid, epigynium ribbed in 2 ranks, accessory seta absent, antapical seta present. Acalitus delhiensis has 7 rayed simple feather claw, shield with median line present in rear to mid, admedian and submedian lines branched, epigynium coarsely granulated, accessory seta and antapical seta absent.

Mite Family

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.

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.
