ABSTRACT
The family Tenuipalpidae is worldwide in distribution and includes several economically important pest species. Species
of the genus Brevipalpus have been identified as vectors of rhabdoviruses that cause diseases such as citrus leprosis,
coffee ring spot virus, passion fruit green spot virus and others that reduce the production and the life span of the plants.
An updated list of the Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Prostigmata), a key to the genera of the world and data on zoogeographical
distribution of the species are presented. The catalogue provides information on 891 known species (including 3 species
incertae sedis) belonging to 34 genera. The valid name of each species, the author, date and page of the corresponding
original description, type locality and host, species designation(s), references to species redescription(s) and other
complementary information are presented. The genera Rarosiella Rimando 1996 and Neoraoiella Mohanasundaram
1996 are synonymized with Raoiella Hirst 1924. The genus Meyeraepalpus Smiley, Frost & Gerson 1996 is
synonymized with the genus Aegyptobia Sayed 1950. Three new genera, Magdalenapalpus, Chaudhripalpus and
Urigersonus are erected. Indices of the plant host species and families associated with each species, the number and
regional distribution of species in each genus, and a list of relevant publications of species from each zoogeographical
region are included.

A CATALOGUE OF THE TENUIPALPIDAE (ACARI) OF THE WORLD WITH A KEY TO GENERA
The Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Prostigmata: Tetranychoidea), commonly known as flat mites or false spider mites,
is worldwide in distribution and is comprised of 891 valid species belonging to 34 genera. All tenuipalpid
species are phytophagous and damage plants by directly feeding on the epidermal cells of the stems, leaves
and fruits. Several species are known to vector plant virus (Rodrigues et al. 2003; Childers and Derrick 2003;
Kitajima et al. 2003) and some species have been collected carrying fungal spores associated with plants
(Evans et al. 1991, Ochoa et al. 1994). The majority of the species that cause economic damage to cultivated
plants belongs to the two largest genera, Brevipalpus Donnadieu and Tenuipalpus Donnadieu.
Literature Review—A Timeline
This literature review is intended to cover only the taxonomic highlights (ie new genera, family names, etc.) in
the Tenuipalpidae.
1. Dugès (1834) described the first tenuipalpid as Trombidium caudatus from France, placing it in the
Trombidiidae Leach, 1815.
2. Donnadieu (1875) erected Tenuipalpus and Brevipalpus, placing both in the Tetranychidae and
transfered Trombidium caudatus to Tenuipalpus.
3. Bruyant (1911) erected Pseudoleptus and placed it in the Tetranychidae.
4. Berlese (1913) published the family-group name Tenuipalpini.
5. Ewing (1922) erected the family Phytoptipalpidae for the aberrant Old World genus Phytoptipalpus
Trägärdh (1904). This genus was not placed in the Tenuipalpidae until 1952 by Pritchard and Baker.
6. Hirst (1924) erected the genus Raoiella and placed it in the Tetranychidae.
7. Oudemans (1928b) erected the Pseudoleptidae to include Pseudoleptus and Raoiella, both later
(Oudemans, 1938) moved to the new family Trichadenidae; ultimately, they were transferred to the
Tenuipalpidae by Sayed (1950a).
8. Sayed (1938) erected Phyllotetranychus and Dolichotetranychus placing them in the Tetranychidae.
9. Womersley (1940) erected Tegopalpus from Australia and placed it in the Tetranychidae.
10. Sayed (1942c) included Tenuipalpus in the Pseudoleptidae and in a different paper published the same
year (Sayed, 1942b) considered it to be a junior synonym of Brevipalpus.
11. Baker (1945) moved Phyllotetranchyus and Tegopalpus to the Trichadenidae. He also recognized
Brevipalpus and Tenuipalpus as distinct genera in the Trichadenidae.
12. Baker (1949) revised Brevipalpus placing it in the Pseudoleptidae, with 39 species.
13. McGregor (1949) published the first synthesis of the Tenuipalpidae (then referred to as the
Pseudoleptidae), reporting a total of 13 species in the genera Trichadenus (1 sp.), Tenuipalpus (3 spp.),
Brevipalpus (6 spp.) and erected the genus Pentamerismus (3 spp.).
14. Sayed (1950a) was the first to use the name Tenuipalpidae, in which he included Brevipalpus,
Tenuipalpus, Phyllotetranychus, Tegopalpus and Dolichotetranychus; however, he did not refer to Berlese
(1913), who had previously published the family-group name Tenuipalpini. The ensuing confusion regarding
the appropriate author and family name resulted in most researchers using Phytoptipalpidae.
15. Sayed (1950a) divided the Tenuipalpidae into the Phytoptipalpinae, which included only the
Phytoptipalpus, and the Tenuipalpinae, which included, Aegyptobia, Brevipalpus, Dolichotetranychus,
Phyllotetranychus, Pseudoleptus, Raoiella, Tegopalpus and Tenuipalpus. In an immediately later paper, Sayed
(1950b) formally described the genus Aegyptobia.
16. In June, 1952 Baker & Wharton considered Aegyptobia to be a synonym of Pentamerismus. They also
described Larvacarus with the type species Phytoptipalpus transistans Ewing, placing it in the
Phytoptipalpidae. A month later, Reck (1952) published a description of Phytoptipalpoides, also designating
P. transistans Ewing, as the type species. Since the description of Larvacarus predated the description of
Phytoptipalpoides, the latter is an objective junior synonym of Larvacarus.

17. Cunliffe (1955) re-established the name Tenuipalpidae, based on Berlese’s 1913 publication; the name
Tenuipalpidae has been adopted by most subsequent authors on the family.
18. Pritchard & Baker (1958) published the first major revision of the family, comprising 143 species in
14 genera. They erected the genera Cenopalpus, Colopalpus and Obdulia, and re-establish and transfer the
genus Pentamerismus to the family Tenuipalpidae. They did not support dividing the family into subfamilies
or tribes.
19. De Leon (1961b) erected the genus Priscapalpus from Mexico.
20. Baker & Pritchard (1962) erected the genus Macfarlaniella from Australia.
21. Baker & Tuttle (1972) erected the genus Raoiellana from Turkey
22. Collyer (1973c) revised the genus Tenuipalpus, then with 105 species.
23. Anwarullah & Khan (1973) erected the genus Terminalichus from India.
24. Mitrofanov (1973a) erected the following genera and/or subgenera: Aegyptopalpus, Deleonipalpus,
Gnathopalpus, Livschitzia, Stenotetranychus, Tuttlepalpus, Ultratenuipalpus and Zaheria. He divided the
Tenuipalpidae into two subfamilies Brevipalpinae and Tenuipalpinae, and divided the Brevipalpinae into four
tribes: Brevipalpini with Brevipalpus, Brachypalpus, Cenopalpus, Hystripalpus, Priscapalpus,
Pritchardipalpus, Tauripalpus and Tegopalpus; Colopalpini with Colopalpus and Deleoniella;
Pentamerismini with Aegyptobia, Oligomerismus and Pentamerismus; and Phyllotetranychini with
Phyllotetranychus. Also in 1973, Mitrofanov (1973b) erected Brachypalpus, Deleoniella, Hystripalpus,
Neophytoptipalpus, Oligomerismus, Pritchardipalpus and Tauripalpus. He then divided the Tenuipalpinae
into four tribes: Dolichotetranychini with Dolichotetranychus and Stenotetranychus; Phytoptipalpini, with
Larvacarus, Macfarlaniella, Neophytoptipalpus, Obdulia, Phytoptipalpus, Raoiella, Raoiellana and Zaheria;
Pseudoleptini with Livschitzia and Pseudoleptus; and Tenuipalpini with Aegyptopalpus, Deleonipalpus,
Extenuipalpus, Gnathopalpus, Tenuipalpus, Tuttlepalpus and Ultratenuipalpus.
25. Chaudhri et al. (1974) erected Amissus, later synonymized with Brevipalpus by Sepasgosarian (1983).
26. Baker & Tuttle (1975) erected the genus Obuloides. Baker et al. (1975) divided Brevipalpus into seven
informal species groups, referring to them only by Roman numerals. Pegazzano (1975) erected
Tauripalpoides, synonymized with Brevipalpus by Meyer (1979).
27. Corpus-Raros (1978) erected the genus Philippipalpus from the Philippines.
28. Mitrofanov & Strunkova (1978) erected the genus Amblypalpus from Tajikistan.
29. Mitrofanov & Strunkova (1979) published a revision of the Tenuipalpidae, reporting 365 species in 33
genera. Their classification differed from that of Pritchard & Baker (1958) and Meyer (1979), but used the
same subfamilial and generic arrangement as Sayed (1950a). They included in the Phytoptipalpinae the
genera proposed by Mitrofanov (1973b) in the tribes Dolichotetranychini and Phytoptipalpini. In
Tenuipalpinae, they included the genera mentioned by Mitrofanov (1973a, b) under Brevipalpini,
Pentamerismini, Phyllotetranychini, Pseudoleptini and Tenuipalpini, and considered Colopalpini to be a
synonym of Tenuipalpini. Also in 1979, Meyer published a major revision of the Tenuipalpidae which
included 504 species in 21 genera. She erected Afronychus, Krugeria, Capedulia and Coleacarus, listed
Brachypalpus, Cenopalpus, Hystripalpus, Pritchardipalpus, Tauripalpus and Tauripalpoides as synonyms of
Brevipalpus; Neophytoptipalpus and Zaheria as synonyms of Phytoptipalpus; Livschitzia and Oligomerismus
as synonyms of Pentamerismus; Deleoniella as synonym of Priscapalpus; Stenotetranychus as synonym of
Dolichotetranychus; and Colopalpus, Deleonipalpus, Gnathopalpus and Tuttlepalpus as synonyms of
Tenuipalpus. She provided a key to the world genera and species and proposed a division of Brevipalpus into
eight species groups, which she named absens, californicus, cuneatus, obovatus, phoenicis, pterinus, recki
and spinosus. She considered Cenopalpus to be a synonym of Brevipalpus, and represented it as the spinosus
species group. In addition, she divided other large tenuipalpid genera into species groups, as follows:
Aegyptobia, groups trägardhi and macswaini; Dolichotetranychus, groups carnea, summersi and floridanus;
and Tenuipalpus, groups albae, caudatus, elegans, granati, quadrisetodus and trisetosus. She did not follow
Mitrofanov’s (1973a, b) family-group divisions.

30. Sepasgosarian (1983) published the first species list of the tenuipalpids of the world, reporting 541
species in 21 genera and providing information on the name, author, date of publication and synonymies of
each genus and species and a list of references. He listed Amissus as a synonym of Brevipalpus. Subsequently,
Sepasgosarian (1984, 1985, 1987, 1990) published four addenda to his original list, increasing the number of
species to 697, in 25 genera.
31. Ghai & Shenhmar (1984) published a detailed list of the 22 genera and 562 species of Tenuipalpidae,
including a taxonomic key to the genera.
32. Baker & Tuttle (1987) reviewed the false spider mites of Mexico. They divide the species of the genus
Brevipalpus into six species groups, stating that these groups corresponded to the division proposed by Baker
et al. (1975). The species groups names used by Baker & Tuttle (1987) along with (in parentheses) the group
numbers proposed by Baker et al. (1975) are: cuneatus (group I ); frankeniae (II); californicus (IV); obovatus
(V); phoenicis (VI) and portalis (VII). The species in group III of Baker et al. (1975) were placed in either the
obovatus or the portalis species group by Baker & Tuttle (1987). They did not support the synonymy of
Cenopalpus with Brevipalpus proposed by Meyer (1979). Furthermore, they divided Tenuipalpus into the
caudatus and proteae species groups, and then divided the caudatus group into the annonae, anoplus and
bakeri subgroups.
33. Al-Gboory (1987) presented an excellent review on the false spider mite taxonomy, he discussed the
phylogeny and ecology of the family, as well addressing the species present in central Iraq.
34. Mohanasundaram (1988) described Tenuilichus from India.
35. Meyer (1993) synonymized Aegyptopalpus and Amblypalpus under Tenuipalpus. She accepted the
division of the genus Tenuipalpus into the groups proposed by Baker & Tuttle (1987), and created two new
subgroups, pacificus and eriophyoides, in the caudatus group, and divided the proteae group into the keiensis,
rhusi and xerocolus subgroups.
36. Smiley & Gerson (1995) described Australopalpus and Lisaepalpus from Australia.
37. Rimando (1996) described Rarosiella (synonymized with the Raoiella herein) from the Philippines.
38 Smiley et al. (1996) described Crossipalpus and Meyeraepalpus and erected the subfamily
Tegopalpinae to include Tegopalpus Womersley, Philippipalpus Corpus-Raros and Australopalpus Smiley &
Gerson, 1995.
39. Zhang & Liang (1997) provided an illustrated key to the tenuipalpid genera of the world.
40. Welbourn et al. (2003) considered Brevipalpus and Cenopalpus to be distinct and valid genera.
41. Rodrigues et al. (2004) performed molecular analyses of certain species of Tenuipalpidae. This study,
along with cladistical analyses by Kane (unpublished thesis, 2003) and Quiros-Gonzalez (unpublished
dissertation, 1985) and more detailed morphological observations with the LT-SEM (Welbourn et al. 2003),
may help to elucidate the phylogeny of this important family of plant feeding mites.
42. Beard et al. (2005) described the genus Prolixus from Australia.
43. Beard & Gerson (2009) described the genus Acaricis from Australia.
Zoogeography of the Genera and Species of Tenuipalpidae
Tenuipalpids have been described from all zoogeographic regions of the world with the exception of
Antarctica. Table 1 shows the number of tenuipalpid species of each genus described from each of the
following 8 zoogeographic regions - Nearctic (NA) Neotropical (NT); Western Palearctic (WPA);
Afrotropical (AF); Eastern Palearctic (EPA); Oriental (O); Australian (AU) and Pacific Islands (PI). The
classification used in this document is slightly different from that used by other authors. We considered all
records from a given country to belong to a same zoogeographic region, independently of the position of the
type locality within the country. Whereas other authors have placed northern Mexico in the Nearctic and the
central and southern areas of Mexico in the Neotropical region, herein we place all records from Mexico in the
Neotropical region. Similarly, northern China has been placed in the Palearctic and the central and southern
A catalog of the Tenuipalpidae of the world with a key to genera

7
areas of China in the Oriental region; herein, we place all records from China in the Eastern Palearctic. In
addition, we divide the Palearctic region which traditionally covers the entire Eurasian continent into the
Western Palearctic and Eastern Palearctic regions which are described in more detail below.
Species distribution within each genus is given in Appendix A which shows the type locality (country) of
each species within each genus among the zoogeographic regions. The country from which the species was
described is in most cases referred to by the first 3 letters of the name of the country. Since the type locality of
all but one of the species from the Nearctic region is from the United States, the state of that country is
mentioned for the type localities of the corresponding species. The family name for the host plant from which
each type specimen was collected is also included in the table corresponding to each genus. A plus sign (+) is
used to denote the presence of the species in a zoogeographic region other than that of the type locality.
Country and state abbreviations within each zoogeographic region is subsequently provided:

Note(s): complementary information.
Information on junior synonyms of a species is given after the valid name, followed by the reference in
which the species was synonymized. The text for the junior synonyms is indented for easy recognition; each
species is given the same catalog number as the corresponding senior synonym, followed by a sequential
letter. An attempt was made to correct typographical errors in the scientific names of the species and/or
collection localities. In addition, we have included the names of the plant families for each host, except for
species where the plant family could not be determined. The correct spelling of scientific names of hosts and
the determination of their respective families was done using “The International Plant Names Index” (IPNI)
and “PLANTS National Database and Topics” available on-line at http://www.ipni.org/index.html and http://
plants.usda.gov/index.html, respectively.

Meyeraepalpus Smiley, Frost and Gerson 1996: 176. Type species: Meyeraepalpus delfinadae Smiley, Frost and Gerson;
new synonym.
Discussion: Smiley et al. (1996) distinguished the genus Meyeraepalpus from the genus Aegyptobia based upon the presence of an overhanging prodorsum, of which the anterior margin is invaginated, and by the absence of a rostral
shield in the former. Our examination of the two species that they described and placed in the genus revealed that the
type species, Meyeraepalpus delfinadae, has a rostral shield and the anterior margin of the prodorsum is not invaginated. However, these characters are apparent in Meyeraepalpus strandtmanni, the other species that they described
in this genus. Since the characters found in the type species of the genus Meyeraepalpus do not differ significantly
from those of the genus Aegyptobia, we are proposing that the genus Meyeraepalpus be considered a junior synonym of the genus Aegyptobia and that Meyeraepalpus strandtmanni be placed in its own genus based upon the
characters that Smiley et al. used to define the genus Meyeraepalpus. However, since the type species of the genus
belongs to the genus Aegyptgobia, the name Meyeraepalpus is no longer available. Therefore, we are proposing a
new genus and combination for this species, Magdalenapalpus strandtmanni (Smiley, Frost and Gerson), in honor of
Magdalena K. P. Smith-Meyer.

Chaudhripalpus Mesa, Welbourn and Evans, NEW GENUS
Type species: Crossipalpus creelae Smiley, Frost & Gerson, 1996: 176.
Diagnosis: Palpus 5-segmented with 2 simple setae, terminal podomere short, with one simple seta, an eupathidium and
an elongate solenidion. Idiosoma elongate oval. Prodorsum hoodlike, completely covering the gnathosoma with anterior
margin rounded and bearing 3 pairs of setae (V2, Sc1, Sc2). Dorsum of opisthosoma with 9 pairs of broadly spatulate
setae: c1, c3, d1, d3, e1, e3, f3, h1, h2. Propodosoma and metapodosoma each with a pair of long intercoxal setae (1a,
3a), 4a absent Aggenital, genital and pseudanal setae smooth. Leg setal counts—coxae: 1-2-1-1, trochanters: 1-1-2-1,
femora: 4-3-4-2, genua: 1-1-0-0, tibiae: 4-4-3-4, tarsi 6(+1)-6(+1)-4-4.
Comparison: The genus Chaudhripalpus is similar to the genus Crossipalpus but species of the latter have 12 pairs
of lanceolate dorsal opisthosomal setae. Chaudhripalpus is also similar to the genus Philippipalpus, but the latter has the
anterior margin of prodorsum deeply incised and 10 pairs of dorsal opisthosomal setae (f2 present).
Etymology: The generic name Chaudhripalpus is given in honor of Dr. W. M. Chaudhri for his many contributions
to the taxonomy of mites.

Magdalenapalpus Mesa, Welbourn and Evans, NEW GENUS
Type species: Meyeraepalpus strandtmanni Smiley, Frost & Gerson, 1996: 178, by monotypy.
Diagnosis: dorsum—oval shaped; prodorsum hoodlike and completely covering the gnathosoma with
anterior margin deeply incised medially and bearing 3 pairs of broadly lanceolate, serrate setae (v2, sc1, sc2); rostral
shield absent; opisthosoma with 13 pairs of broadly lanceolate, serrate setae, arranged as follows: c1, c2, c3, d1, d2, d3,
e1, e2, e3, f2, f3, h1, h2 venter—palpus 5-segmented, palp tibia with two simple setae, palp tarsus short, with one simple
setae, an eupathidium and an elongated solenedion; podosoma and metapodosoma each with a pair of smooth, long intercoxal setae (1a, 3a); 4a absent; pregenital, genital and pseudanal setae smooth.
Comparison: The species Magdalenapalpus strandtmanni differs from Australopalpus alphitoniae by having the
bases of d1-d1 setae not close together, with the distance between them similar to that of c1-c1 setal bases; and the genital and ventral plate setae smooth; whereas the anterior margin of prodorsum is rounded, slightly pointed at apex; the d1
setae are placed close together, with the distance between them less than half the distance of the c1-c1 setal bases; genital
and ventral plate setae barbed in Australopalpus.
Discussion: Smiley et al. (1996) described this species and placed it in their new genus Meyeraepalpus, of which
they chose Meyeraepalpus delfinadae Smiley, Frost & Gerson as the type speciesfor the genus. We consider Meyeraepalpus delfinadae to be a species of Aegyptobia Sayed 1950. Therefore, the genus name Meyeraepalpus is no longer a valid
name since the type species of the genus Meyeraepalpus belongs to a previously described genus. The second species
they described in the genus, Meyeraepalpus strandtmanni Smiley, Frost & Gerson, 1996, differs from any previously
described genus; however, since the name Meyeraephagus is no longer available due to the synonymy with Aegyptobia,
we hereby erect the genus Magdalenapalpus as a replacement name for Meyeraepalpus in honor of Dr. Magdalena
Meyer for her excellent work, and many contributions to the taxonomy of the family Tenuipalpidae and other mite families.

Urigersonus Mesa, Ochoa & Evans, NEW GENUS
Type species: Ultratenuipalpus bunyai Smiley & Gerson, 1995: 41, by monotypy.
Generic Diagnosis: Palpus 4-segmented, with solenidion on palptarsus inserted at the base of the segment. Rostral shield
deeply notched medially. Shape of idiosoma similar to that of Ultratenuipalpus species. Opisthosoma slightly narrower than proprodosoma and somewhat truncate caudally. Dorsum of opisthosoma with 9 pairs of setae: c1, c3, d1,
d3, e1, e3, f3, h1, h2; setae c1, d1 and e1 setae minute and slender; d3 slightly longer and thicker; remaining setae
(c3, e3, h2 and h1) large and broadly spatulate.setae f3 and sc2 very long and whiplike, more than 10 times longer
than other dorsal opisthosomal setae. Pregenital and genital areas with smooth, fine striae.
Comparison; In Ultratenuipalpus setae f3 and sc2 are not long and whiplike, but rather similar in size and shape to other
opisthosomal dorsal setae; the palpus is usually 4-segmented (rarely 3) but the solenidion on palptarsus is inserted at
the apex of the segment.
Etymology: This genus is named in honor of Dr. Uri Gerson for his many contributions to the study of mites.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
A total of 34 genera and 891 valid species of tenuipalpids are reported herein. Each of a few genera are
comprised of relatively large numbers of species, whereas others contain one or a few species. The number of
species in the five largest genera are: Tenuipalpus 305, Brevipalpus 281, Cenopalpus 59, Aegyptobia 93, and
Dolichotetranychus 22. The following genera have less than 10 species: Acaricis, Prolixus, Pseudoleptus,
Terminalichus, Afronychus, Capedulia, Crossipalpus, Priscapalpus, Obdulia, Obuloides, Phyllotetranychus
and Tenuilichus. The following genera are monospecific: Australopalpus, Chaudhripalpus, Coleacarus,
Krugeria, Larvacarus, Lisaepalpus, Macfarlaniella, Magdalenapalpus, Philippipalpus, Raoiellana,
Tegopalpus and Urigersonus (Table 1).
The largest number of species have been described from the United States of America (17.3%), followed
by Mexico (16.3%), Pakistan (16%) and South Africa (13.8%). The tenuipalpid fauna of China, Southeast
Asia, the Pacific Islands, Central and South America, Russia, Australia and several other countries is not well
known. The number and distribution of species do not show a clear ecological pattern at the family level. A
few genera, especially Brevipalpus, Dolichotetranychus and Tenuipalpus, are represented by species from
multiple continents and on a wide range of host plants. The genus Brevipalpus is most speciose in the
Nearctic, Tenuipalpus in the Afrotropical, Raoiella in the Oriental, and Ultratenuipalpus in the Pacific Island
regions (Table 1). Other genera are geographically restricted. For example Afronychus, Capedulia,
Coleacarus and Krugeria, are restricted to Africa; Australopalpus, Chaudhripalpus, Crossipalpus,
Lisaepalpus, Macfarniella, Magdalenapalpus and Tegopalpus, to Australia; Larvacarus, Neoraoiella,
Obuloides, Philippipalpus, Rarosiella, Tenuilichus and Terminalichus, to Southeast Asia; Obdulia, to the
Mideast; Phyllotetranychus, to Egypt and Mauritius Island; and Raoiellana, to Turkey (Table 1).
This publication is based mostly on an evaluation of the current literature. An adequate revision, with
examination of type specimens, may indicate a considerable number of synonyms, resulting from the
occurrence of intraspecific morphological variation.
Welbourn et al. (2003) conducted a detailed study of the morphological variation present within
Brevipalpus phoenicis and compared this variation with B. californicus and B. obovatus. Similar studies are
needed for other species of Tenuipalpidae. We believe that there are likely to be several to many tenuipalpid
species that will prove to be synonymous with previously described species once we have a better
understanding of the intraspecific variation that occurs within tenuipalpid species.
RECOMMENDATIONS
After reading hundreds of species descriptions, comparing hundreds of type specimens present at our
institutions, and studying several genera under Low Temperature Scanning Electron Microscope (LT-SEM),
we noticed several important systematic problems. Based on these findings, we recommend that future
research on the Tenuipalpidae observe the following protocol:
a. Descriptions should include line drawings illustrating the complete dorsal and ventral features of the
mite. The ornamentation of the dorsum of the propodosoma and opisthosoma as well as that of the
ventral plates provide important clues for determining the species’ identity. The shape of the dorsal
opisthosomal setae and the number of palpal segments and chaetotaxcy are also important. When

phase contrast, differential phase contrast, or SEM micrographs are used, it is essential that they be
accompanied by line drawings showing details of the key characters.
Description of new taxa based on a single specimen is generally discouraged, especially for new
species that are considered to be very similar to known species. Single specimens may represent
aberrant variations of already described species or may appear to have distinct characteristics due to
age of the mite, what it has fed upon, the type of clearing agent, mounting medium or technique used
to mount the specimen. Contrary to the common name of the Tenuipalpidae as a whole, the dorsum of
“flat mites” is not actually flat, but rather covered with ridges, bumps and protuberances, especially
on the central and submedial areas. The integument of the mite becomes soft when Nesbitt’s solution,
lactophenol, Vitzthum’s fluid, or KOH are used as clearing agents, so that when the cover slip is put
in place, these sculptural characters can be distorted or made smoother, making the specimen
apparently different from the species’ normal appearance. Furthermore, the color and the strength of
the integument sculpture depend upon the age and food content in the mite. Older females often
exhibit more prominent and detailed ornamentation than younger females. The food content directly
affects the coloration of the mite (Morishita 1954, Haramoto 1969). Also, specimens mounted in
Hoyer’s can be overcleared if dried for more than 3-5 days and/or at a temperature higher than 35–55

C.
Determining the family, genus and species of the host plant may facilitate identification because some
genera and species show significant host preference and this can provide a clue for the determination
of genus or species. For example, almost all species in the genus Raoiella are associated with
dicotyledons, whereas most species of Pentamerismus are associated with conifers in the family
Cupressaceae. Most of the tenuipalpids important to agriculture, however,are generalists and feed on
a wide range of host plants.
Wherever possible, all stages of the species, egg, larva, protonymph and deutonymph, in addition to
the adult male and female should be collected. Quite often, closely related tenuipalpid species can be
distinguished by characters found only in the immature form, especially the deutonymph. A
description of the deutonymph, preferably with a drawing of the entire dorsum of the mite, should be
included in the description. For example, the adults of Brevipalpus trinidadensis and B. californicus
are very similar; however, their deutonymphs are readily distinguished.
We consider important the record of the habits and location of the mite on the plant, and unusual host
features determined by the mite, such as galls, chlorosis, necrosis, and cracking of the epidermis of
the fruit or leaves which may result from the mite feeding, and any fungus or fungal spores associated
with the mite. These may be symptoms of diseases especially considering the close association of
certain species of the genus Brevipalpus with plant viruses and other diseases (Kitajima et al. 2003,
Ochoa et al. 1994).
The widespread epidemic of the leprosis virus in the Americas (Childers et al. 2003) and the recent
introduction of invasive mites such as Raoiella indica to the Americas (Flechtmann and Etienne 2004)
demonstrate the importance of the flat mites to the agricultural economy of the nations of the world. It is
the hope of the authors that this catalogue will provide a tool and guide to future faunistic studies conducted in
Asia, South America, Australia and other areas where the species composition, diversity and biology of flat
mites are not well known.

MORPHOLOGY
The body of all mites is divided in two parts—(i) gnathosoma, the anterior portion of the body which includes
the mouthparts, and (ii) idiosoma, the posterior portion of the body. The idiosoma is composed of three
regions: (i) propodosoma (bearing legs I and II), (ii) metapodosoma (bearing legs III and IV) and (iii)
opisthosoma (posterior to legs IV). The plane separating the first two regions is called sejugal plane, while the
plane separating the last two regions is called disjugal plane. Transversal furrows are usually found at those
planes; they are called sejugal and disjugal furrows, respectively. In the Acariformes, the superorder to which
the Tenuipalpidae belong, the dorsum of the metapodosoma is considered to have disappeared, so that the
posterior edge of the dorsum of the propodosoma becomes aposed to the anterior edge of the dorsum of the
opisthosoma, or those edges are bridged by the merged sejugal and disjugal furrows.
FIGURE 1. Aegyptobia tragardhi female dorsum and venter (after Sayed 1950).
The Gnathosoma
The mouthparts of tenuipalpids consists of a pair of recurved styletiform chelicerae, the stylophore and
the rostrum; the latter houses the pharynx and bears a pair of simple palpi having 1-5 segments. The number
of palpal segments is often used in characterizing the different genera (Figure 2). Tenuipalpids differ from the
other families in the superfamily Tetranychoidea in lacking a claw on the penultimate segment of the palpus.
The Idiosoma
A. Dorsum
1. Propodosoma
The propodosoma of the tenuipalpids has two pairs of simple eyes, with the exception of Raoiellana
allium Baker and Tuttle which lacks eyes. This region bears 3 pairs of setae, with the exception of Tenuipalpus
elegans, with only 2 pairs. The anteriormost pair (v2), lacking in T. elegans, are followed by the sc1 setae
towards the lateral margin and just anterior to the eyes, and the sc2 setae, immediately posterior to the eyes.

The anterior margin of the propodosoma of certain genera is modified into a sclerotized platelike structure
called the rostral shield or prodorsal sclerite, which overhangs the gnathosoma.
FIGURE 2. Types of palpi found in the family Tenuipalpidae (after Pritchard & Baker 1958).
2. Opisthosoma
The opisthosoma of tenuipalpids bears between 5 and 13 pairs of setae, that are located in 5 transverse
rows. Setae of the most anterior row, along the anterior margin of the opisthosoma, are designated by the letter
c with the dorsocentral pair (DC) of setae designated as (c1), the dorsosublateral pair (DSL) as c2, and the
dorsolateral pair (DL) as c3. These setae are followed successively by setae in the d, e, f, and h rows; the letter
g is not used to designate rows or setae on the dorsum of Acariformes, to preclude confusion with the genital
setae on the venter, which is designated as g. The maximum number of dorsal opisthosomal setae consists of 3
pairs in each of the c, d and e rows, labelled as the c1, c2, c3, d1, d2, d3 and e1, e2, e3, respectively; and a
maximum of 2 pairs in each of the f and h rows, and labelled as f2, f3 and h1, h2, respectively.
3. Determination of the dorsal setae
To determine the dorsal setae, first locate the stable setae, present in nearly all tenuipalpid species.
Based on our examination of the descriptions, illustrations and specimens of the known tenuipalpid
species, we consider sc1, sc2, c3, d3, e3, h1 and h2 to be stable setae; they are present in all known species of
tenuipalpids, with the possible exception of Krugeria ramose, depending upon whether one designates the
pair of setae located on a same plate as e3, f3 or h2. With some reservations, we designate this pair of setae as
h2, to be consistent with the presumed stability of these setae. Setae f3 are present in almost all species, with
the exception of those species which have only 5 pairs of dorsolateral setae (Krugeria, Obuloides,
Terminalichus species and Priscapalpus thomissus); these setae should be accounted for first when examining
a tenuipalpid specimen and determining its setal complement. They are usually located along the lateral
margin with the h1 setae being at the posterior apex. However, the position of one or more pairs of these setae
may shift to the sublateral position, as in Dolichotetranychus. Therefore, where only one pair of setae is
present laterad to the dorsocentral region, they are designated as c3, d3, e3 and h2. If there are two pairs of
setae laterad to the dorsocentral region, the setae in between the dorsocentral pair and the dorsolateral pair
(usually located in the submedial region) are designated as c2, d2, e2 or f2 depending upon their relative
position on the dorsum, and after the stable setae have been accounted for.
106 · Zootaxa 2098 © 2009 Magnolia Press
MESA ET AL.
Next, account for the dorsocentral setae (c1, d1, e1). The majority of tenuipalpid species have three pairs
of dorsocentral setae. Setae h1 are not counted as dorsocentral setae and setae f1 do not occur, or are not
designated as such, in the Tenuipalpidae. At least one of the dorsocentral pairs of setae is absent in all known
species of Terminalichus, Tenuilichus, Obuloides, Dolichotetranychus and in certain species of Tenuipalpus,
Priscapalpus and Afronychus.
Lastly, account for the sublateral setae (c2, d2, e2, f2). Because of the occasional shifting of the
dorsocentral and/or dorsolateral setae to the sublateral region, we recommend that the dorsosublateral setae be
designated as such when they are found located between the dorsocentral and the dorsolateral pair of setae in
their respective row, with the exceptions of the f row which lacks setae f1, and the h row which lacks setae h3.
For example, the 3 pairs of setae along the anterior margin of the opisthosoma (row c) of Aegyptobia species
are designated c1, c2 and c3, with the c2 setae located between the c1 (dorsocentral) and the c3 (dorsolateral)
pair of setae. The lateral margin of many species appears to have 6 or 7 pairs of setae (8 in Pentamerimus
erythreus), due to the shifting of the dorsosublateral setae, c2, d2, e2 and/or f2, to the lateral margin.
B. Venter
The ventral setae have seldom been used in the classification of tenuipalpid genera and species, except for
the designation of certain species groups in some of the genera. Setae 1b, 1c, 2b, 2c, 3b, 4b are associated with
the coxae and setae 1a, 3a, 4a are intercoxal, inserted centrally on the venter.
1. Propodosoma—Normally, there are 5 pairs of setae on the venter of the propodosoma (1a, 1b, 1c, 2b,
2c). Setae 1a are located medially between the bases of coxae I; setae 1b are located anteromesad to 1a, and
1c is located posterolaterad to 1b (1b and 1c are associated with coxa I). Setae 2a are not known to occur in
tenuipalpid species. Setae 2b are located usually at the base of coxae II and setae 2c are located posterolaterad
to 2b.
2. Metapodosoma—There are two pairs of setae, often elongate setae, in the median area of the
metapodosoma. Setae 3a are usually located between the bases of coxae III and setae 4a are usually located
between the bases of coxae IV. Setae 3b and the 4b are usually short and located on coxae III and IV,
respectively.
3. Opisthosoma—Normally, there are 5 pairs of ventral opisthosomal setae (ag, g1, g2, ps1, ps2) pairs of
ventral opisthosomal setae and a maximum of 7 pairs when a third pair of genital setae (g3) and a third pair of
anal plate setae (ps3) are present. When present, setae ag are located on the ventral plate or between the 4a
metapodosomal setae and the genital setae (g1 and g2), the latter located on the genital plate. The anal plates
bear 1–3 pairs of setae, ps1–ps3 (ps3 rarely present).
