Eriophyoid mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) associated with Compositae in Iran
Five species of eriophyoid mites were identified during surveys of mite fauna associated with plant species of the family Compositae from Southwest of East Azerbaijan province during 2010 and 2011. Two of them, Aceria virgatae n. sp. from Centaurea virgata Lam. and Aceria xeranthemis n. sp.

First Bisexually Dimorphic Phytoptid Taxon (Eriophyoidea, Phytoptidae) from Gondwanian Angiosperm Host [PDF]
Acariform mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea are permanent parasites of higher vascular plants. Seasonal morphological dimorphism in females has been documented across various eriophyoid taxa, while male dimorphism remains poorly understood.

Pest categorisation of Setoptus parviflorae. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Plant Health Panel performed a pest categorisation of Setoptus parviflorae (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Phytoptidae) for the European Union (EU). This mite is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. It is known to occur in the Nanjing Botanical Garden (China) on Pinus parviflora.

Repeated visitations of spermatophores and polyandry in females of eriophyoid mites. [PDF]
Eriophyoid females store sperm either asymmetrically in one spermatheca, or symmetrically in both spermathecae. Previous studies have suggested that species in which females store sperm asymmetrically pick up sperm from only one spermatophore, while those with symmetrical sperm storage pick up sperm from two or more spermatophores during their lifetime.

A new species and new record of eriophyoid mites (Trombidiformes: Eriophyoidea) from mango in Egypt with a note on the population dynamics of four eriophyoid species [PDF]
During surveys of eriophyoid mites on Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae) in Egypt, a new species, Aceria aegyptindicae sp. nov., was collected and is here described and illustrated. This species was found in colonies as an inquiline, under waxy coatings

Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal. [PDF]
Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.
