AB  - Tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to China, considered a serious invasive species worldwide, with several socio-economic and ecological impacts attributed to it. Chemical and mechanical methods have limited efficacy in its management, and biological controls may offer a suitable and sustainable option. Aculus mosoniensis (Ripka) is an eriophyid mite that has been recorded to attack tree of heaven in 13 European countries. This study aims to explore the host range of this mite by exposing 13 plant species, selected either for their phylogenetic and ecological similarity to the target weed or their economic importance. Shortly after inoculation with the mite, we recorded a quick decrease in mite number on all nontarget species and no sign of mite reproduction. Whereas, after just one month, the population of mites on tree of heaven numbered in the thousands, irrespective of the starting population, and included both adults and juveniles. Significantly, we observed evidence of damage due to the mite only on target plants. Due to the specificity, strong impact on the target, and the ability to increase its population to high levels in a relatively short amount of time, we find A. mosoniensis to be a very promising candidate for the biological control of tree of heaven.

AB  - A classical biological control agent is an exotic host-specific natural enemy, which is intentionally introduced to obtain long-term control of an alien invasive species. Among the arthropods considered for this role, eriophyid mites are likely to possess the main attributes required: Host specificity, efficacy, and long-lasting effects. However, so far, only a few species have been approved for release. Due to their microscopic size and the general lack of knowledge regarding their biology and behavior, working with eriophyids is particularly challenging. Furthermore, mites disperse in wind, and little is known about biotic and abiotic constraints to their population growth. All these aspects pose challenges that, if not properly dealt with, can make it particularly difficult to evaluate eriophyids as prospective biological control agents and jeopardize the general success of control programs. We identified some of the critical aspects of working with eriophyids in classical biological control of weeds and focused on how they have been or may be addressed. In particular, we analyzed the importance of accurate mite identification, the difficulties faced in the evaluation of their host specificity, risk assessment of nontarget species, their impact on the weed, and the final steps of mite release and post-release monitoring.

AB  - Russian Olive, Elaeagnus angustifolia was introduced into North America primarily as a wind break and shade tree. Today it is listed as a noxious weed in the U.S. and Canada. During field surveys in the native range, the eriophyid mite, Aceria angustifoliae was identified as a promising biological control agent. Results from no-choice and open-field tests suggest that this is a highly specialized herbivore and that the risk to non-target plants in North America is negligible. The impact study revealed significant reductions in fruit set, which will likely translate to a reduction in long-distance dispersal in the invaded range.

AB  - Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae, Poales: Poaceae) is an annual grass native to central Asia and the Mediterranean region. It is a noxious, invasive weed in much of western North America. As such, it is the target of a classical biological control programme established by USDA-ARS. During explorations carried out in 2014 a new species of eriophyid mite, Aculodes altamurgiensis de Lillo & Vidovic, 2018 (Acari: Eriophyidae), was discovered on medusahead in southern Italy; it was also collected from medusahead in Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, and Iran in subsequent years. In the field A. altamurgensis has consistently been associated with the target weed while never having been detected from sympatric grass (Poales: Poaceae) species (e.g. Stipa austroitalica, Avena sativa, Triticum durum, T. aestivum), suggesting that A. altamurgensis is highly specific to medusahead. An open-field host-specificity test was carried out in Rome, Italy in 2016 in which an Italian population of A. altamurgensis was infested onto 11 different grass genotypes, including five crop species and five different populations of medusahead (two from Italy and three populations that are invasive in the USA). The results supported the previous observations that A. altamurgiensis is highly specific to medusahead and merits further evaluation as a candidate for biological control of this invasive grass. However, the Italian population of A. altamurgiensis showed variable colonisation rates on different medusahead populations, indicating that populations of A. altamurgiensis from other regions should also be tested to determine if they can colonise medusahead at more uniformly high rates, particularly on the targeted invasive populations in the USA.

AB  - We analyzed the phylogenetic relationships of the genusTrisetacususing two genes [cytochromecoxidase subunit I (COI) and D1-D2 region of 28S rDNA (D1-D2 28S)], a representive taxon sampling (nearly 40% of known diversity), and a large set of close and distant outgroups. Our analyses suggest the presence of a dichotomy betweenTrisetacusassociated with Cupressaceae and Pinaceae. The following smaller molecular clades were found:Pin-1(bud mites, twig sheath mites, bark gall mites, and endoparasitic mites from pinaceans),Pin-2(needle sheath mites from pines),Pin-2a(putative Nearctic group of needle sheath mites),Pin-2b(putative Palearctic group of needle sheath mites),Cup-1and2(bud, cone, seed mites and mites living under bark scales from cupressaceans). The monophyly of the recently proposed subgenusBrevithecusnested within cladeCup-2was confirmed. Ancestral character reconstruction analyses recovered: (1) Pinaceae as the ancestral hosts of Nalepellidae andTrisetacus, (2) repetitive reductions of the spermathecal tube independently occurred in two lineages ofTrisetacusfrom Cupressaceae, and (3) several mite habitats on host (galls, cones, twig sheaths, seeds, inside leaves, and under scales) are evolutionarily derived states, whereas living in buds or needle sheaths are ancestral states forTrisetacuscladesCupandPin. Using confocal microscopy, we identified six basic types of the female internal genitalia ofTrisetacusbased on shapes of the spermatheca and spermathecal tube. These genitalic types are strongly correlated with lineages recovered by molecular phylogenetic analyses, suggesting that the female genital morphology is both evolutionarily conserved and is a factor influencing macroevolutionary patterns in this group of mites.

(Betulaceae), C. hendersoni from Yucca gigantea Lem. (Asparagaceae), C. verilicis from Ilex aquifolium L. (Aquifoliaceae), C. psilaspis from Taxus baccata L. (Taxaceae) and C. malpighianus from Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae). Males of C. vermiformis, C. verilicis, C. hendersoni and C. malpighianus, and immatures of C. hendersoni and C. verilicis, are described for the first time. C. verilicis is recorded for the first time in the fauna of Serbia and the European region. Female cuticle-lined internal genitalia of five Cecidophyopsis species are studied under confocal laser scanning microscopy. A several steps of oviposition in cecidophyines is proposed based on CLSM observations on their internal genitalia. Sequences of the barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene are given for the following species: C. hendersoni, C. verilicis, C. psilaspis and C. malpighianus.

Males of C. vermiformis, C. verilicis, C. hendersoni and C. malpighianus, and immatures of C. hendersoni and C. verilicis, are described for the first time. C. verilicis is recorded for the first time in the fauna of Serbia and the European region. Female cuticle-lined internal genitalia of five Cecidophyopsis species are studied under confocal laser scanning microscopy. A several steps of oviposition in cecidophyines is proposed based on CLSM observations on their internal genitalia. Sequences of the barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene are given for the following species: C. hendersoni, C. verilicis, C. psilaspis and C. malpighianus.",

AB  - A new vagrant eriophyoid mite species, Setoptus tsugivagus n. sp. Chetverikov (Eriophyoidea, Phytoptidae, Nalepellinae, Nalepellini), is described from the needles of the western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla (Rafinesque) Sargent (Pinaceae) in Vancouver, Canada. The new species can be distinguished from all other members of Setoptus by a distinct pattern of several short longitudinal ridges on the posterior half of the prodorsal shield. Elements of the anal secretory apparatus (ASA) were observed in adults of S. tsugivagus n. sp., suggesting that the ASA is present in both major phylogenetic lineages of Eriophyoidea (Eriophyidae s. l. and Phytoptidae s. l.). Therefore, this structure could be a synapomorphy for all Eriophyoidea. We briefly discuss the function and morphological variety of the ASA in Eriophyoidea. D2 28S rDNA sequences of four nalepelline species were obtained: Boczekella reticulata Bagnyuk 1987 (GenBank accession number MK124605), Nalepella tsugifoliae Keifer 1953 (MK124606), Setoptus pini Boczek, 1964 (MK124607), and S. tsugivagus n. sp. (MK124608). Molecular phylogenetic analyses of D2 28S rDNA sequences of the mites of the subfamily Nalepellinae confirmed monophyly of the tribe Nalepellini and retrieved Setoptus and Nalepella as polyphyletic. Additionally, our data indicate that 28S rDNA sequence KF782472.1, previously reported to be Trisetacus ehmanni Keifer 1963 by Li et al. (2014), belongs to another species of the genus Trisetacus, possibly T. quadrisetus (Thomas), and the sequence KF782471.1, previously reported to be Trisetacus sp., might belong to T. juniperinus (Nalepa). We also discuss the systematics of nalepellines and their host association with conifers.

AB  - Classical biological control of weeds depends on finding agents that are highly host-specific. This requires not only correctly understanding the identity of the target plant, sometimes to subspecific levels, in order to find suitable agents, but also identifying agents that are sufficiently specific to be safe and effective. Behavioral experiments and molecular genetic tools have revealed that some arthropod species previously thought to be polyphagous really consist of multiple cryptic species, host races or biotypes, some of which are more host-specific than others. Whereas true species are reproductively isolated, individuals from subspecific populations may potentially interbreed with those of other populations if they should encounter them. Furthermore, biotypes may consist of individuals sharing a genotype that is not fixed within a monophyletic group, and thus may not be evolutionarily stable. This raises the question of how such populations should be classified, and how to confirm the identity of live arthropods before releasing them as classical biological control agents. The existence of host races or cryptic species may greatly increase the number of prospective biological control agents available. However, it may also create new challenges for governmental regulation. These issues are discussed using pertinent examples, mainly from North America.

AB  - A new species of plant mite (Acari: Eriophyidae) was discovered on medusahead (Taeniatherum caputmedusae), an annual grass that is native to central Asia and the Mediterranean Basin. It is invasive in western North America. Aculodes altamurgiensis sp. nov., is described here and differentiated from other Aculodes spp., on the basis of morphology. Its DNA fingerprinting was reported and compared with Aculodes mckenziei collected from Elymus repens and Bromus inermis. Pairwise comparison of MT-001 sequences between A. altamurgiensis sp. nov., and A. mckenziei revealed 20.2-21.5% genetic divergence between these congeneric species. First collected in Parco Nazionale dell'Alta Murgia in Apulia, Italy in 2014,A. altamurgiensis sp. nov., has been subsequently collected from medusahead in Serbia, Bulgaria, Iran and Turkey. Based on these data and on preliminary observations on the effects of the mite on plant growth, A. altamurgiensis sp. nov., is currently being investigated as a candidate biological control agent of medusahead.

AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite Aceria alhagi n. sp. inhabiting the weed Alhagi maurorum Medik., is described from the type locality in Iran, but it was also collected from Uzbekistan, Turkey and Armenia. This mite causes changes of the leaves and inflorescence. Infested plants develop cauliflower- like galls on the inflorescence and leaves deforming the reproductive structures and inhibiting seed production. The potential reduction in seed set suggests that this mite could constitute a potential biological control agent against this noxious weed. To investigate intraspecific variability between A. alhagi n. sp. populations from Iran, Turkey and Armenia, we analysed molecular sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI). These results indicated that there are no significant intraspecific divergences among populations of A. alhagi n. sp. from the five different localities in three West Asia countries. This finding can be used in the future research of certain mite populations as biological control agent.

AB  - Territory of the Republic of Serbia, as the central area of the Balkan Peninsula, is of particular interest as a point where biological entities coming from central Europe, Asia Minor, Mediterranean and North Africa encounter. Hence, this area has been declared as a "center of European biodiversity". Natural consequence of Serbia's geographic position and the richness of the flora is the great diversity of insect fauna (Insecta). Observed diversity of entomofauna is the reason why the territory of Serbia is attractive for the research in biological control. Climate change and the intensive exchange of biota as a direct consequence of increasing global trend of trade between the countries is what make this a particularly important issue. Although Serbia has a relatively short history of research on phytophagous insects as biological control agents for Eurasian origin weeds, researchers at the biological laboratory of Institute for plant protection based in Zemun (presently Institute for plant protection and environment, Zemun) can be considered as doyens of biological control research in Europe and even worldwide. The first department for biological control of pests in Europe started working in the Institute for plant protection in Zemun, in 1954. The founder and the first director of the Institute for plant protection, prof. dr. Guido Nonveiller, had a vision of forming a team of interdisciplinary researchers with biological and agronomic BACKGROUND: . In the period from 1967-1974, the project entitled "Project 480: Europe: Yugoslavia E30-Ent-12 - Distribution and natural enemies of the weeds Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria dalmatica Mill) and Mediterranean sage (Salvia aethiopsis L.) in Yugoslavia", has been carried out for the purpose of biological control of L. dalmatica (Plantaginaceae) and Salvia aethiops (Lamiaceae). Four more projects supported by the USDA followed: Elaboration of protective measures for agricultural crops against parasitic phanerogams belonging to the genera Cuscuta and Orobanche (parasitic herbs - dodders and broomrape) (1968-1971), Biological control of terrestrial and aquatic weeds and pests of crop plants (1977-1983), Biological control of insects and weeds (1981-1986), Biocontrol of Yugoslavian and North American weeds with insects, pathogens and other biotic agents (1988-1990, 1991). Research on potential phytophagous insects against invasive weeds in North America included, beside a forementioned plants, Myriophyllum spicatum L. (Haloragaceae), Carduus nutans, Carduus acanthoides, Cirsium arvense, Centaurea solstitialis, Centaurea maculosa (Asteraceae), Euphorbia cyparissias and Euphorbia virgata (Euphorbaceae). Classical biological control (i.e. intentional release of natural enemies of exotic pests for the purpose of their control) represents a very important tool in the integrated pest management. Globalization and intensive trade between countries have led to exchange of organisms from different zoogeographical regions. Should those organisms adapt to the new environment, they could potentially represent threat to local ecosystems. This is the reason why, according to Agenda 21 (Chapter 14), biological control has been recognized as a method of choice in pest control. Until 1992, the research within USDA Project 480 resulted in introduction of several insect species in the area of North America. Introduced species were: Sphenoptera jugoslavica for the purpose of controlling Centaurea diffusa (Asteraceae), Hylas euphorbiae, Oberea erythrocephala, Pegomya euphorbiae and P. curticornis (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) for the control of invasive spurge species Euphorbia esula, E. cyparissias and E. virgata. Species from the genus Aphthona (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), A. lacertosa, A. nigris-cutis and A. flava, were introduced for the same reason. Further, two weevil species, Larinus obtusus and L. minutus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), were used against Centaurea diffusa and Centaurea maculosa. Lastly, defoliator species Calophasia lunula (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was introduced for the control of Linaria dalmatica and L. vulgaris (Plantaginaceae). During the period of 1992-1999, introduced species were Chamaesphecia hungarica and Ch. crassicornis for the control of Euphorbia virgata and Chamaesphecia hungarica for the control of Euphorbia esula. Two moth species, Eteobalea serratella and E. intermediella (Cosmopterigidae), were introduced for the control of north American populations of Linaria vulgaris and L. dalmatica. Finally, after extensive host specificity tests, a weevil species Mogulones cruciger was introduced for the purpose of controlling Cynoglossum officinale (Boraginaceae) in North America. Advances in molecular techniques in the 21st century have led to turn over in biological control research. New knowledge on specific interactions within the insect-plant system has placed in the focus population-genetic properties of the biological control agent. Molecular techniques also enabled understanding biological properties of local insect's populations as well as cryptic speciation, which consequently led to overall better safety and precision in biological control research. The research, since 2000, has been focused on invasive plant species of the genus Linaria and weevils of the genus Mecinus and Rhinusa. New research enabled introduction and successful development of gallicol weevil species Rhinusapilosa in north-west Canada. Furthermore, cryptic species Mecinus janthiniformis was described within the Mecinus jathinus. Within Mecinus heydenii complex of species, one cryptic species were described, Mecinus peterharrisi in association with L. dalmatica and one subspecies Mecinus laeviceps ssp. meridionalis association with L. genistifolia from East Serbia and Bulgaria. One new gallforming weevil species was also described, namely Rhinusa rara in association with L. genistifolia and L. dalmatica from East Serbia, Hungary and South Russia. All newly described species and subspecies are in the research process of suitability assessment as the biological control agents. Besides insects many species of eriophyoid mites, an obligatory plant feeders, are considered to be among the most promising candidate agents for classical biological control of weeds due to their biology and host-plant relationship. Eriophyoid mites have high degree of host specificity, about 80% of currently known species have been recorded on a one host plant. Among approximately 5000 known species about 50 are considered as potential weed control agents in the world. More than 50% of these species have been discovered in Serbia. Investigations in this field started in early 1980's. In the period 1990-2000's in the framework of different projects three new species for science were described on Geranium dissectum L. and four on Euphorbia spp. At the beginning of 2000's, especially detailed studies of Aceria anthocoptes (Nal.) and Leipothrix dipsacivagus Petanovic. et Rector have been carried out from the different points of view. During the last years few eriophyoid mites were investigated within the framework of different European programs of classical biological control of weeds. Aceria acroptiloni Kovalev et Shevchenko was studied as agent of biocontrol of Rhaponticum repens (L.) Hidalgo, Metaculus spp. were studied for biological control of Lepidium latifolium L., Isatis tinctoria and Diplotaxis tenuifolia, as well as two Aceria spp. for biological control of Eleagnus angustifolia L. Moreover two potential biocontrol agents Aceria artemisiifoliae Vidovic & Petanovic, and Aculops mosiniensis Ripka against Ambrosia artemisifolia L. and Ailanthus altissima (Mill) Swingle respectively have been nominated recently. More or less integrative approach in species delimitation has been applied using combined techniques of phase contrast light microscopy, pseudo dark field, differential interference contrast microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and sequencing of barcoding region of mt COI DNA. Traditional morphological analysis was accomplished with morphometric, (linear and/or geometric) analysis because it helps in understanding intraspecific variability, including races adapted to the host plants and /or cryptic species. Studying potential agents for the biological control of invasive weeds is tightly linked with floristic and entomo-acaro-faunistic diversity. Because of its position, the territory of Serbia represents a meeting point for floristic and faunistic elements coming from central Europe, Asia Minor, Mediterranean and North Africa. The complex floristic and faunistic diversity is also a consequence of numerous colonizations and recolonizations of biota during the periods of glaciation and interglaciation. These unique aspects have made the territory of Serbia an excellent starting point for the research in biological control.

abstract = "Territory of the Republic of Serbia, as the central area of the Balkan Peninsula, is of particular interest as a point where biological entities coming from central Europe, Asia Minor, Mediterranean and North Africa encounter. Hence, this area has been declared as a "center of European biodiversity". Natural consequence of Serbia's geographic position and the richness of the flora is the great diversity of insect fauna (Insecta). Observed diversity of entomofauna is the reason why the territory of Serbia is attractive for the research in biological control. Climate change and the intensive exchange of biota as a direct consequence of increasing global trend of trade between the countries is what make this a particularly important issue. Although Serbia has a relatively short history of research on phytophagous insects as biological control agents for Eurasian origin weeds, researchers at the biological laboratory of Institute for plant protection based in Zemun (presently Institute for plant protection and environment, Zemun) can be considered as doyens of biological control research in Europe and even worldwide. The first department for biological control of pests in Europe started working in the Institute for plant protection in Zemun, in 1954. The founder and the first director of the Institute for plant protection, prof. dr. Guido Nonveiller, had a vision of forming a team of interdisciplinary researchers with biological and agronomic BACKGROUND: . In the period from 1967-1974, the project entitled "Project 480: Europe: Yugoslavia E30-Ent-12 - Distribution and natural enemies of the weeds Dalmatian toadflax (Linaria dalmatica Mill) and Mediterranean sage (Salvia aethiopsis L.) in Yugoslavia", has been carried out for the purpose of biological control of L. dalmatica (Plantaginaceae) and Salvia aethiops (Lamiaceae). Four more projects supported by the USDA followed: Elaboration of protective measures for agricultural crops against parasitic phanerogams belonging to the genera Cuscuta and Orobanche (parasitic herbs - dodders and broomrape) (1968-1971), Biological control of terrestrial and aquatic weeds and pests of crop plants (1977-1983), Biological control of insects and weeds (1981-1986), Biocontrol of Yugoslavian and North American weeds with insects, pathogens and other biotic agents (1988-1990, 1991). Research on potential phytophagous insects against invasive weeds in North America included, beside a forementioned plants, Myriophyllum spicatum L. (Haloragaceae), Carduus nutans, Carduus acanthoides, Cirsium arvense, Centaurea solstitialis, Centaurea maculosa (Asteraceae), Euphorbia cyparissias and Euphorbia virgata (Euphorbaceae). Classical biological control (i.e. intentional release of natural enemies of exotic pests for the purpose of their control) represents a very important tool in the integrated pest management. Globalization and intensive trade between countries have led to exchange of organisms from different zoogeographical regions. Should those organisms adapt to the new environment, they could potentially represent threat to local ecosystems. This is the reason why, according to Agenda 21 (Chapter 14), biological control has been recognized as a method of choice in pest control. Until 1992, the research within USDA Project 480 resulted in introduction of several insect species in the area of North America. Introduced species were: Sphenoptera jugoslavica for the purpose of controlling Centaurea diffusa (Asteraceae), Hylas euphorbiae, Oberea erythrocephala, Pegomya euphorbiae and P. curticornis (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) for the control of invasive spurge species Euphorbia esula, E. cyparissias and E. virgata. Species from the genus Aphthona (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), A. lacertosa, A. nigris-cutis and A. flava, were introduced for the same reason. Further, two weevil species, Larinus obtusus and L. minutus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), were used against Centaurea diffusa and Centaurea maculosa. Lastly, defoliator species Calophasia lunula (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was introduced for the control of Linaria dalmatica and L. vulgaris (Plantaginaceae). During the period of 1992-1999, introduced species were Chamaesphecia hungarica and Ch. crassicornis for the control of Euphorbia virgata and Chamaesphecia hungarica for the control of Euphorbia esula. Two moth species, Eteobalea serratella and E. intermediella (Cosmopterigidae), were introduced for the control of north American populations of Linaria vulgaris and L. dalmatica. Finally, after extensive host specificity tests, a weevil species Mogulones cruciger was introduced for the purpose of controlling Cynoglossum officinale (Boraginaceae) in North America.

AB  - Two new vagrant species of the genus Phytoptus Dujardin (Eriophyoidea, Phytoptidae, Phytoptinae) from Serbia are described: Phytoptus argenteus n. sp. from Potentilla argentea and P. serbicus n. sp. from Potentilla tommasiniana. Remarks on morphology of Phytoptus alchemillae Joele et al. 2011 collected from Alchemilla plicata in Serbia and supplementary description of infrequently encountered species Phytoptus potentillae Chen et al. 2005 from Potentilla bifurca (Poaceae) based on mummies recovered from dry plant material from southern Russia are given. Sequences of mtCOI barcode region (658 bp) of three Phytoptus species (P. alchemillae, P. argenteus n. sp., and P. serbicus n. sp.) are provided. A brief comparison of pairwise genetic distances between congeneric eriophyoid mites across taxa of Eriophyoidea (including genus Phytoptus) indicates that COI sequences of congeneric eriophyoid mites do not precisely reflect phylogenetic relations of their hosts. This fact may be explained by (a) different rate of the COI evolution in different mite clades associated with phylogenetically related and unrelated hosts or by (b) similar timing of the associations between mites and plants (while having the same rate of COI evolution).

AB  - A new, gall-forming eriophyoid mite species is described from Australia. Aculus crassulae sp. nov. was found causing significant leaf deformation in Crassula helmsii (Kirk) Cockayne (Crassulaceae), a semi-aquatic, succulent plant. Native to Australia and New Zealand, this plant is now a highly invasive weed in the United Kingdom and Western Europe. The host specificity of the new mite species, and damage caused to the host plant, infer its potential to be a valuable biological control agent in countries where Australian swamp stonecrop is threatening native flora. The species description provided here, which also includes a revised diagnosis for the genus Aculus, incorporates line drawings and scanning electron micrographs (SEM). This is supplemented by a partial mitochondrial gene sequence of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) and the sequence was compared with Aculus amygdali Xue & Hong and Aculus ichnocarpi (Ghosh & Chakrabarati) available in the NCBI database. Pairwise comparison of mtCOI sequences between A. crassulae sp. nov. and two congeneric species revealed 22.6% and 23.1% genetic divergence, respectively.

AB  - Despite the economic importance of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae), data on their biodiversity are scarce in some regions of Europe, such as Balkan Peninsula and particularly in Serbia. In this country, according to the Spider Mites Web database, only 17 spider mite species belonging to seven genera have been reported. This study provides a review of the Serbian literature dealing with spider mite species recorded in Serbia and presents results of a four-year faunistic survey in which spider mites were collected on cultivated plants and native vegetation throughout the country. In the survey, a total of 23 species were recorded, including six species new to Serbian acarofauna: Bryobia praetiosa, Eotetranychus aceri, E. fraxini, E. pruni, Panonychus citri and Tetranychus evansi. Together with previously reported data, it raises the number of known spider mite species in Serbia to 36. A total of 90 host plant species from 21 families that are favorable to spider mites were recorded in this study; there were 62 new host records for 20 spider mite species with 11 records of new plant species as hosts of spider mites. There were 63 new records for Serbia among host plant species, raising the number of Serbian hosts for tetranychid mites to 137. The spider mite species new to Serbian acarofauna were found on 17 newly recorded host plants from 11 families. A key to all known spider mites species from Serbia is provided.

AB  - Despite economic importance of Tetranychidae, knowledge regarding diversity of spider mites in the Balkan Peninsula and Southeast Europe is incomplete, especially in protected natural areas. This study presents diversity of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) collected over five growing seasons at 296 locations in 38 protected natural areas of Serbia. A total of 31 spider mite species were found, 10 from Bryobiinae and 21 from Tetranychinae. The species Eotetranychus fagi Zacher was recorded as new to Serbia and this record was also the first one for Southeast Europe. Spider mites were found on host plants in five basic types as well as many subtypes of terrestrial habitats, with woodland as the most dominant one. A total of 151 plant species from 44 families were recorded as hosts for spider mites including new world records: 60 new hosts for family Tetranychidae and 41 new hosts for 21 spider mite species. Host plants from Rosaceae family harbored the highest number of spider mite species (16). A considerable number of species was found on host plants from the families Betulaceae (11), Asteraceae (10) and Sapindaceae (10). Two cosmopolitan spider mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch and Tetranychus turkestani Ugarov & Nikolskii, were clearly distinguished with 67 (7 new) and 43 (13 new) recorded host species, respectively; among newly recorded hosts for Tetranychidae family, these two mite species were found on 27 and 12 hosts, respectively. After the two most common species, the most striking was the presence of Bryobia praetiosa Koch with 24 (4 new) recorded host plants, followed by Amphitetranychus viennensis (Zacher), Eotetranychus carpini (Oudemans) and Bryobia rubrioculus(Scheuten), with 21 (7 new), 20 (6 new) and 16 (2 new) hosts, respectively. The remaining tetranychids were found on 1-9 host plant species. This study provided the first insight into diversity of tetranychids in Serbian protected areas. Further research in this field should focus on mites from host plants representative of specific areas and habitats, including endangered, endemic and relict species.

AB  - We examined morphological and genetic differences among Aceria spp. inhabiting six Brassicaceae species in Serbia. Five of them have been already mentioned in the literature as original or alternate hosts of Aceria spp. (Berteroa incana (L.) DC., Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik., Cardamine hirsuta L., Lepidium draba L. and Sisymbrium orientale L.), whereas Aurinia petraea (Ard.) Schur was registered here for the first time as a host for Aceria sp. Results of morphometric analyses indicated clear differentiation of Aceria spp. from B. incana, L. draba, A. petraea and S. orientale, whereas the other two entities were less diverse and clustered together. Molecular analyses indicated that the average mean divergence over all sequence pairs was 18.3% (11.8-25.9%) and disclosed that the observed mtCOI distances between the six host-associated Aceria entities are large enough to represent differences between species. The Aceria sp. hosted by B. incana was morphologically and genetically most distinctive, whereas discrepancy between phenetic and phylogenetic relationships was found in the position of Aceria sp. hosted by L. draba when compared with those inhabiting C. hirsuta, S. orientale and C. bursa-pastoris.

AB  - Common ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Asterales: Asteraceae), is an annual harmful weed of North American origin, now widely distributed in Central and Southern Europe, Asia and Australia. It is an agricultural weed, but it represents a serious risk for human health because its pollen can cause severe allergies. Recently, in the framework of the EU-COST Action 'SMARTER', an European program was started with the aim to develop sustainable management strategies for ragweed in Europe, with a special emphasis in the search and selection of biological control agents. Among them, the record of a new eriophyid mite Aceria species in Serbia has been considered as potential important biological control candidate. This paper describes the species following both morphological and bio-molecular approaches, and is giving some preliminary data on the geographical distribution and on the biology of the eriophyid mite on its host plant.

AB  - Hazelnut big bud mite, Phytoptus avellanae Nalepa, is one of the most harmful pests of Corylus spp. (Corylaceae) worldwide. Herein, we show that this species represents a complex of two cryptic species: one that lives and reproduces in buds causing their enlargement ('big buds') and drying, whereas the other is a vagrant living on leaves, under bud scales and in catkins, based on phylogenetic analyzes of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA and the nuclear D2 region of 28S rDNA sequences. A molecular assessment based on mtCOI DNA and nuclear D2 28S rDNA revealed consistent differences of 16.8 and 3.5 % between the two species, respectively. Molecular analysis also revealed that atypical flattened nymphs (Tegonotus-like nymphs sensu Keifer in Mites Injurious to Economic Plants, University of California Press, Berkeley, pp 327-562, 1975) with differently annulated opisthosoma, which appear in the life cycle of P. avellanae s.l., belong to the 'vagrant' lineage, i.e. vagrant cryptic species. Light microscopy images of Tegonotus-like nymphs molting into males and females are presented for the first time. Our results suggest that the name P. avellanae comprise two species. Big bud mite should keep the name P. avellanae, and the vagrant cryptic species should be re-named after a proper morphological description is made.

(Juncaceae) is described with the aid of conventional light microscopy, confocal light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Immatures of the new species lack eye-like structures (sensu Smith 1977), which are well-developed in adults. Adults possess unique globular protuberances on the dorsal surface of coxae I, uncommon localization of gnathosomal seta ep (situated in a pocket-like space formed by an antero-dorsal fold of the palpcoxa) and some uncommon attributes in the male and female genital areas. In one male the two putative podocephalic canals (sensu Nuzzaci & Alberti 1996) and the disjointed digitus mobilis and digitus fixus of the chelicerae were clearly seen under DIC LM. Senescent females of N. longissimus n. sp. exceed 510 micrometers, making this species the longest among contemporary eriophyoids. Remarks address the size limits of eriophyoids and the possible ways that novophytoptines penetrate the epidermis. Microphotographs of N. longissimus n. sp. moving within the aerenchyma of the rush stem are presented for the first time. The term "vermiformity", referring to the elongation of the mite body, is discussed and width/length ratio is proposed as a precise estimate of "vermiformity".

AB  - A new vagrant early-derivative eriophyoid mite species Pentasetacus plicatus n. sp. (GeneBank accession number KT070291) is described from Araucaria araucana (Molina) K. Koch from Chile and Peru with the aid of conventional and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Observations on the gnathosoma of the new species indicate that the oral stylet is bent in the middle and twice shorter than the infracapitular and cheliceral stylets. A trough-like subcapitulum originated from the palpcoxae, and swollen basal parts of chelicerae bearing putative cheliceral seta, were observed under CLSM in specimens with disjointed mouth parts. Males with an exposed gonopore under an uncovered genital coverflap and remnants of soft genital organs were registered. Contrary to other eriophyoids, the plates of the longitudinal bridge in P. plicatus n. sp. and other pentasetacines are not fused so that the genital slit continues posterior to the spermathecal apparatus. The previously established taxon Pentasetacidae Shevchenko, Bagnyuk, Sukhareva, 1991 is proposed for the eriophyoids bearing five prodorsal shield setae (Loboquintus and Pentasetacus); a refined diagnosis of Pentasetacidae is given.

AB  - Eriophyoids are an ancient group of highly miniaturized, morphologically simplified and diverse phytoparasitic mites. Their possible numerous host-switch events have been accompanied by considerable homoplastic evolution. Although several morphological cladistic and molecular phylogenetic studies attempted to reconstruct phylogeny of Eriophyoidea, the major lineages of eriophyoids, as well as the evolutionary relationships between them, are still poorly understood. New phylogenetically informative data have been provided by the recent discovery of the early derivative pentasetacine genus Loboquintus, and observations on the eriophyoid reproductive anatomy. Herein, we use COI and D1-2 rRNA data of 73 eriophyoid species (including early derivative pentasetacines) from Europe, the Americas and South Africa to reconstruct part of the phylogeny of the superfamily, and infer on the basal divergence of eriophyoid taxa. In addition, a comparative CLSM study of the female internal genitalia was undertaken in order to find putative apomorphies, which can be used to improve the taxonomy of Eriophyoidea. The following molecular clades, marked by differences in genital anatomy and prodorsal shield setation, were found in our analyses: Loboquintus(Pentasetacus((Eriophyidae + Diptilomiopidae)(Phytoptidae-1, Phytoptidae-2))). The results of this study suggest that the superfamily Eriophyoidea comprises basal paraphyletic pentasetacines (Loboquintus and Pentasetacus), and two large monophyletic groups: Eriophyidae s.l. [containing paraphyletic Eriophyidae sensu Amrine et al. 2003 (=Eriophyidae s.str.) and Diptilomiopidae sensu Amrine et al. 2003] and Phytoptidae s.l. [containing monophyletic Phytoptidae sensu Boczek et al. 1989 (=Phytoptidae s.str.) and Nalepellidae sensu Boczek et al. 1989]. Putative morphological apomorphies (including genital and gnathosomal characters) supporting the clades revealed in molecular analyses are briefly discussed.

AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite, Metaculus diplotaxi n. sp. inhabiting Diplotaxis tenuifolia ( L.) DC., is described from Serbia. To investigate interspecific variability between Metaculus spp. on three different Brassicaceae host plants ( viz. D. tenuifolia, Lepidium latifolium ( L.), Isatis tinctoria ( L.)), we analyzed phenotypic variability of morphological traits and molecular sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( MT- CO1). Discriminant analysis identified seven traits that significantly differentiate three Metaculus spp: M. lepidifolii, M. rapistri, and M. diplotaxi n. sp. Analysis of MT- CO1 sequences supported the results obtained from the analysis of morphometric features.
