Abstract

Five species of eriophyoid mites were detected as new records for the mite fauna of Turkey. The samples were collected on herbaceous plants and fruit trees in Bahçesaray, Edremit, İskele and Akdamar island of Van province, Turkey between 2014 and 2016. The identified eriophyid species are Aceria camdeboo (Meyer, 1981) on Celtis sp. (Cannabaceae); A. trifolii (Nalepa, 1892) on Vicia biennis L. (Fabaceae), Aculus parakarensis (Bagdasarian, 1972) on Amygdalus communis L. (Rosaceae), Leipothrix moraceus (Castagnoli, 1980) on Morus alba L. (Moraceae) and Phyllocoptes obtusus (Nalepa, 1891) on Salvia sp. (Lamiaceae). The species are depicted, measured and information on their hosts, damage symptoms and geographical distribution are given.
