Abstract
Four new species of eriophyoid mites associated with native palm trees (Arecaceae) from the Amazon and Pantanal, Brazil, and from Cocora Andean Valley, Colombia, are described and illustrated. They include three new species in the Eriophyidae, all in Notostrix Keifer – Notostrix speciosa sp. nov., from Attalea speciosa Mart. ex. Spreng; Notostrix juma sp. nov., from Bactris glaucescens Drude; and Notostrix colombiana sp. nov., from Ceroxylon quindiuense H. Karst; and one new species in the Phytoptidae, Propilus flechtmanni sp. nov., from Astrocaryum murumuru Mart. ex. Spreng. Morphological differences between Notostrix and Propilus species, including the new taxa herein described, are summarized.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:802465BF-BA15-4915-83CA-C8847A878723
