AB  - A new species of eriophyoid mite, Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., was discovered on cheatgrass, Anisantha tectorum (L.) Nevski (syn. Bromus tectorum L.), an annual grass that is native to Eurasia and Northern Africa. This grass was introduced to North America near the end of the 19th century and now is widespread and associated with the observed increases in the size, frequency, and intensity of wildfires in western N. America. In this paper, A. marcelli sp. nov., is morphologically described and illustrated. Compared with other Aculodes spp., it differs based on morphology and the sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene, subunit I (MT-CO1). Results of morphometric analysis showed clear differentiation between A. marcelli sp. nov., and the most similar congener, A. altamurgiensis from Taeniatherum caput-medusae. Analysis of MT-CO1 sequence divergence revealed significant levels of genetic variation (17.7%) and supported the results from the morphometric analysis; therefore, it is determined that they are two different species. Aculodes marcelli sp. nov., is a new candidate agent for classical biological control of A. tectorum. © 2022 by the authors.

AB  - In May 2020, populations of Eriophyid mites were detected on tree of heaven,Ailanthusaltissima Mill., in a recreative park in the city of Colombes, near Paris, and later in August and September in four locations, in Southern France. Morphological examination supplemented with sequencing data for the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) assigned all collected mites to a single species, Aculusmosoniensis (Ripka) (Acari; Prostigmata; Eriophyoidea). This is the first record of this species in France and the first insights into its intraspecific variability based on a barcode dataset. In Europe, this species is considered one of the most promising biological control agents of tree of heaven. This new record provides encouraging evidence that the geographic occurrence of this species is expanding in Europe which may be indicative of its dispersal and establishment abilities, two key factors for a future biological control program.

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.

abstract = "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  - Eriophyoids are tiny plant-feeding mites belonging to the families of Eriophyidae, Phytoptidae and Diptilomiopidae. Eriophyoid mites are obligatory phytohages that infest all plant parts, except the roots. Most of them are quite host specific. About 80% of currently known recorded species of eriophyoid mites are associated with a single species of host plant. Classical biological control involves the introduction of control agents into a region, that does not form part of their natural area of distribution, to provide control of invasive weed species. In order to avoid direct damage to non target species, biological control agents must be highly host specific. Classical biological control of weeds depends on finding agents that are highly host-specific. Eriophyoid mites (EM) have long been thought to have high potential as biological control agents of classical biological control of weeds, and many review papers have emphasized their prospects. The use of phylogenies based on the statistical analysis of large numbers of characters, whether molecular genetic or morphological, can help traditional taxonomy and subsequently biological control. Correct systematic identification is a first step to finding prospective agents on the appropriate genotypes of the weed that are targeted for biological control.

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.

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.

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  - 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.

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.

AB  - The apple blister mite, Eriophyes mali Nalepa, 1926 (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea), has been recently found in Serbia as a new pest of apple. The history of its research, the results of a morphological analysis and degree of infestation are presented. A comparison of the main morphological features of mites from different populations of remote geographical origin has shown that the apple blister mite from Serbia is most similar to another European population (Bulgarian [or Austrian?]) while it differs from E. mali originating from the USA and New Zealand. The percentage of infestation varied from 1.6% to 87.6%, with an average of 22.4%.
AB  - Eriofida plikastih gala lista jabuke - Eriophyes mali Nalepa, 1926 (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea), po prvi put je registrovana kao nova štetočina jabuke na teritoriji Srbije. Prisustvo E. mali je do sada zabeleženo u Severnoj Americi, na Novom Zelandu, u evropskom delu Rusije, u Južnoj Africi, Zimbabveu i mnogim evropskim zemljama. Zbog velike morfološke sličnosti i pojave istih simptoma na jabuci i krušci, dugo je E. mali smatrana varijetetom E. pyri - eriofide plikastih gala lista kruške. Do saznanja da se radi o različitim vrstama došlo se nakon detaljne analize morfoloških karaktera. U radu je obrađen taksonomski status vrste E. mali, predstavljeni su rezultati analize morfoloških karaktera i stepena infestacije lisne površine. Poređenjem E. mali sa različitih lokaliteta uočavaju se razlike u pojedinim morfološkim karakterima, koje mogu biti uslovljene njihovom geografskom distribucijom. E. mali iz Evrope se razlikuje od one iz USA i Novog Zelanda. E. mali iz Srbije je najsličnija populaciji E. mali koju je opisao Nalepa (1926) iz Evrope.

abstract = "The apple blister mite, Eriophyes mali Nalepa, 1926 (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea), has been recently found in Serbia as a new pest of apple. The history of its research, the results of a morphological analysis and degree of infestation are presented. A comparison of the main morphological features of mites from different populations of remote geographical origin has shown that the apple blister mite from Serbia is most similar to another European population (Bulgarian [or Austrian?]) while it differs from E. mali originating from the USA and New Zealand. The percentage of infestation varied from 1.6% to 87.6%, with an average of 22.4%., Eriofida plikastih gala lista jabuke - Eriophyes mali Nalepa, 1926 (Acari: Prostigmata: Eriophyoidea), po prvi put je registrovana kao nova štetočina jabuke na teritoriji Srbije. Prisustvo E. mali je do sada zabeleženo u Severnoj Americi, na Novom Zelandu, u evropskom delu Rusije, u Južnoj Africi, Zimbabveu i mnogim evropskim zemljama. Zbog velike morfološke sličnosti i pojave istih simptoma na jabuci i krušci, dugo je E. mali smatrana varijetetom E. pyri - eriofide plikastih gala lista kruške. Do saznanja da se radi o različitim vrstama došlo se nakon detaljne analize morfoloških karaktera. U radu je obrađen taksonomski status vrste E. mali, predstavljeni su rezultati analize morfoloških karaktera i stepena infestacije lisne površine. Poređenjem E. mali sa različitih lokaliteta uočavaju se razlike u pojedinim morfološkim karakterima, koje mogu biti uslovljene njihovom geografskom distribucijom. E. mali iz Evrope se razlikuje od one iz USA i Novog Zelanda. E. mali iz Srbije je najsličnija populaciji E. mali koju je opisao Nalepa (1926) iz Evrope. Usled ishrane E. mali biljnim sokovima po površini lista formiraju se gale u vidu plikova koje su na početku sitne, 2-3 mm, svetlo zelene boje, tokom vegetacije se povećavaju, a potom pocrne i osuše se.

AB  - Rhaponticum repens (L.) Hidalgo is a clonal Asteraceae plant native to Asia and highly invasive in North America. We conducted open-field experiments in Iran to assess the impact of the biological control candidate, Aceria acroptiloni Shevchenko & Kovalev (Acari, Eriophyidae), on the target weed. Using three different experimental approaches, we found that mite attack reduced the biomass of R. repens shoots by 40-75 %. Except for the initial year of artificial infestation by A. acroptiloni of R. repens shoots, the number of seed heads was reduced by 60-80 % and the number of seeds by 95-98 %. Morphological investigations of the mite complex attacking R. repens at the experimental field site revealed that A. acroptiloni was by far the dominant mite species. We conclude that the mite A. acroptiloni is a promising biological control candidate inflicting significant impact on the above-ground biomass and reproductive output of the invasive plant R. repens.

AB  - The russet mite, Aceria anthocoptes (Nalepa), is the only eriophyoid that has been recorded on Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. It has been noted in several European countries and recently in the USA. In this study we explored the geographic and host-related variability of Aceria spp. inhabiting different Cirsium spp. We applied landmark-based geometric morphometric methods to study morphological variability of three body regions (ventral, coxigenital and prodorsal) of 13 Aceria spp. populations inhabiting five Cirsium spp. in Serbia (Europe) and four Cirsium spp. in Colorado (North America). Analyses of size and shape variation revealed statistically significant differences between Aceria spp. living on European native and North American native Cirsium spp., as well as between A. anthocoptes s.s. inhabiting European C. arvense and North American C. arvense. The coxigenital region was the most informative when considering inter-population shape differences. European Aceria spp. dwelling on Cirsium spp., including A. anthocoptes s.s. from C. arvense, are characterized by higher inter-population size and shape variability than their North American counterparts. This finding supports a Eurasian origin of A. anthocoptes, presumed to consist of a complex of cryptic taxa probably coevolved with host plants in the native environment. Morphological similarity among Aceria spp. inhabiting North American native Cirsium spp. may indicate that speciation of A. anthocoptes started relatively soon after the host shift to plants different from C. arvense in the invaded region.

AB  - This paper gives an overview of the present knowledge and some new faunistic and zoogeographic data of the insufficiently researched tribe Bryobiini in Serbia. In Serbia, this group of mites is represented by eight species, including four species new to Serbian fauna: Bryobia angustisetis Jakobashvili, B. lagodechiana Reck, B. ulmophila Reck and B. vasiljevi Reck. New data on host plant species and families have also been obtained - two new host plant species for B. angustisetis, two host plant species and two host plant families for B. graminum, one host plant species for B. lagodechiana, four host plant species and one host plant family for B. rubrioculus, two host plant species and one host plant family for B. ulmophila, and one host plant species for B. vasiljevi. This overview was supplemented with data on the other groups of leaf-inhabiting mites that coexist with Bryobiini species. Statistical analysis of interspecific association was done to determine the role of 15 associated predatory mite species belonging to the families Phytoseiidae, Anystidae and Trombidiidae.
