Abstract
Aceria bambusae ChannaBasavanna, 1966 is reported from Hungary for the first time. The species was collected from the leaf sheaths of the introduced bamboo species, Phyllostachys rubromarginata McClure and Phyllostachys tianmuensis Z.P. Wang et N.X. Ma (both Poaceae) in Hungary. Morphological differences distinguishing this species from other bambusoid inhabiting congeners are discussed. In addition, new date-locality-host records for 3 eriophyoid species collected from 7 bamboo species are given.
Highlights
Aceria bambusae ChannaBasavanna, 1966 is reported from Hungary for the first time
We report on our discovery of a species of the genus Aceria found on Phyl lostachys rubromarginata McClure and Phyllostachys tianmuensis Z.P
We provide evidence that this species is different from Aceria gilloglii Keifer, 1963, Aceria havenensis (Keifer, 1979) and Aceria niitakayamensis Wang et Huang, 2011 in consideration of the Asian origin of the hosts
Summary
The eriophyoid mite fauna of Asian bamboo collections, among other bamboo species of Asian origin, was studied on Phyllostachys angusta McClure, Phyllostachys aureosulcata McClure, Phyllostachys edulis (Carrière) J. The eriophyoid mites were cleared in lactic acid mounted in Keifer’s F-medium with sorbitol and Hoyer’s medium on microscope slides (Keifer, 1975). A Zeiss Axio Imager A2 microscope was used for making digital microscopic images on slide mounted specimens. The generic classification was made according to Amrine et al (2003) together with further updating. The number of measured specimens (n) is given in parentheses following the body length. All measurements of mites were made according to Amrine and Manson (1996) and are given in micrometers. The mean and the ranges are given. The scientific name of host plant is used according to The Plant List (2013)
