A Taxonomic Study Of The Eriophoidea From Nanling Mountain Of China(Acari:Prostigmata)

Eriophyoid mite(Acari:Eriophyidea)are worldwide distributed and phytophagous.They are the important pest mites on agriculture and forestry plants.Nanling Mountain is a mountain with much richer animal and plant species resources.However,the eriophyoid mite species of Nanling Mountain have not been conducted an investigation systematically.This dissertation is a comprehensive study on the Eriophyoidea in Nanling Mountain of China.The study improves the research of Oriental Eriophyoidea classification,provides materials for further understanding and protection of the eriophyoid mites resources and lays the foundation for assessment of Eriophyoidea classification system.This dissertation is the first systematically study on the Eriophyoidea classification in the Nanling Mountain of China.In total,there are 3 families,34 genera and 51 species,4.82%(51/1059)of the Eriophyoidea of China,including 1 new genus,8 new species,5 new record species in China.The keys to the families,subfamilies and genera(record in China)are shown in the dissertation.51 species which are collected and studied by the laboratory are described and illustrated.And,for the species which are not seen,the only host and distribution are list.All the holotypes which record in the dissertation are deposited in the Nanjing Agricultural University Mites Evolution and Biological Control Laboratory.New genus:Theaphyes gen.nov.Han,Zuo,Xue&Hong,2015.New species:Colopodacus cochinchinensus Zuo,Shahjahan,Xue&Hong,2015 on Glylosmis cochinchinensis Lour.Pierre ex Engl.(Rutaceae);Colopodacus formosus Zuo,Shahjahan,Xue&Hong,2015 on Leycesteria formosa(Wall.)var.stenosepala Rehd.(Caprifoliaceae);Floracarus ruyuanicus Zuo,Shahjahan,Xue&Hong,2015 on Elaeocarpus Dubius A.DC.(Elaeocarpaceae);Bariella alienus Zuo,Wang&Xue,2016 on Ouercus aliena Blume var.acutiserrata Maximowicz ex Wenzig(Fagaceae);Neovittacus castanopsus Zuo,Wang&Xue,2016 on Castanopsis sp.(Fagaceae);Proiectus parviflis Zuo,Wang&Xue,2016 on Pinus parviflora Sieb.et Zucc.(Pinaceae);Tetra phragmitesus Shahjahan,Zuo,Wang&Hong,2015 on Phragmites australis(Cav.)Trin.ex Steud.(Poaceae).New record species in China:Surapoda artabotrysi Boczek&Chandrapatya,1989 on Cleyera pachyphylla Chun ex H.T.Chang(Theaceae);Nothopoda etiennei Flechtmann,2000 on Cyclobananopsis sp.(Fagaceae);Calepitrimerus russoi Di Stefano,1966 on Cinnamomum camphora(L.)Presl.(Laururaceae);Epitrimerus insons Boczek,1961 on Platycladus orientalis(L.)Franco(Upressaceae);Diptilomiopus morindae Boczek,1998 on Uncaria rynchophylla(Miq.)Miq.ex Havil.(Rubiaceae).Eriophyoid mite species on fruit trees and crops:Colopodacus cochinchinensus Zuo,Shahjahan,Xue&Hong,2015 on Glylosmis cochinchinensis Lour.Pierre ex Engl.(Rutaceae);Surapoda artabotrysi Boczek&Chandrapatya,1989 on Cleyera pachyphylla Chun ex H.T.Chang(Theaceae);Aceria litchii Keifer,1943 on Litchi chinensis Sonn.(Sapindaceae);Acaphylla steinwedeni Keifer,1943 on Camellia japonica Linn.(Theaceae);Calacarus carinatus Green,1890 on Camellia sp.(Theaceae);Phyllocoptruta oleivora Ashmead,1879 on Citrus reticulata Blanco(Rutaceae);Phyllocoptruta oleivora Ashmead,1879 on Citrus reticulata Blanco(Rutaceae);Tetra lushuiensis Kuang&Hong,1989 on Citrus reticulata Blanco(Rutaceae);Abacarus dimocarpi Kuang,1999 on Dimocarpus longan Lour.(Sapindaceae);Diptilomiopus euryae Chen,Wei&Qin,2003 on Camellia japonica Linn.(Theaceae).
