Re: Gall Mite Missing From Dictionary ??

One of the gall mites which attacks Sorbus seems to be missing from the current Dictionary.  This is Eriophyes arianus (Canestrini 1890).

There does not seem to be a synonymy for it so it does not seem to be hiding under another name.

Could this be added ASAP please.

Many thanks.

Steve

Re: Gall Mite Missing From Dictionary ??

Dear Steve,

We do have this species in the Dictionary but lacking an authority.

I have now added Eriophyes arianus (Canestrini, 1890).with a Taxon Version Key of NHMSYS0020561502

Reagrds,
