Three New Species of Eriophyid Mites from Georgia Coastal Islands (Acari: Eriophyoidea)
Abstract
Three new species of eriophyid mites - Platyphytoptus warkus from Pinus elliottii Engelm. (Pinaceae), Apodiptacus liquidambarus from liquidambar styraciflua L. (Hamamelidaceae) and Diptiloplatus pulaski from Rhus glabra L. (Anacardiaceae) - are described. All species were collected from the coastal barrier islands near Savannah, GA, U.S.A.
... Liquidambar formosana Hance (Altingiaceae) is widely distributed in China (FRPS 2024). Until now, six eriophyoid species have been described from L. formosana in China, namely Neoshevtchenkella liquidambaris Kuang and Zhuo 1989, Tegolophus liquidambaricola Ou et al. 2014, Apodiptacus liquidambarus Boczek and Davis 1990, Diptacus liquidambaris Kuang and Feng 1987, Acaricalus liquidambarus Liu et al. 2023, Diptacus liquidambarus Liu et al. 2023(Kuang and Feng 1987Kuang and Zhuo 1989;Boczek and Davis 1990;Ou et al. 2014;Liu et al. 2023); none of them cause significant damage to the host plant. ...
The systematics of the subfamily Diptilomiopinae (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Diptilomiopidae) are reviewed. Twenty-three genera are recognized. Vilaia is found to be the junior synonym of Diptilomiopus. The characters of Rhynacus and Vimola are compared and a new diagnosis for Rhynacus is proposed. Twenty-two new combinations are made: Diptiloplatus bamboovagrans (Mohanasundaram), Diptacus pandanus (Boczek & Oleczek), Diptacus pulaski (Boczek & Davis), Diptacus sacchari (Xin & Dong), Diptilomiopus artabotrysi (Boczek), Diptilomiopus azadirachtae (Boczek), Diptilomiopus barringtoniae (Chandrapatya), Diptilomiopus cythereae (Chandrapatya), Diptilomiopus elaeocarpi (Boczek), Diptilomiopus ervatamiae (Chandrapatya), Diptilomiopus eucalypti (Boczek), Diptilomiopus languasi (Boczek), Diptilomiopus pamithus (Boczek & Chandrapatya), Diptilomiopus phylanthi (Chandrapatya), Diptilomiopus sandorici (Chandrapatya), Diptilomiopus strebli (Boczek), Diptilomiopus thaianae (Boczek), Vimola carolinensis (Keifer), Vimola globosus (Keifer), Vimola guangxiensis (Kuang & Huang), Vimola haramotonis (Keifer), and Vimola tampae (Keifer). A cladistic analysis of generic relationships within the Diptilomiopinae was carried out. The analysis was based on a total of nineteen characters drawn from the examination of specimens and from original descriptions of species in twenty-three genera. These characters were polarized by comparison with Rhyncaphytoptus, a genus in the diptilomiopid subfamily Rhyncaphytoptinae. One strict consensus tree was generated from eighty-three equally parsimonious trees produced from successive character weighting. Two distinct clades were revealed: clade A (Brevelacus) and clade B (Bucculacus (Apodiptacus, Trimeroptus) (Acarhynchus, Asetadiptacus, Dialox, Diptacus (Neodialox, Pararhynacus) (Levonga, Pseudodiopus), Lambella), Diptilomiopus, Diptilorhynacus), Neodiptilomiopus), Vimola), Rhynacus), Diptiloplatus, Neorhynacus, Acarhis). A key to the world genera of Diptilomiopinae is given to reflect the results of this study.
