Abstract

Author made regular mite collectings between 1990 and 2010 on ornamental trees and shrubs, on streets, parks, in city greenery, forests, botanical gardens and private gardens, in various localities of Hungary. During this survey a new Quercus-infesting eriophyoid mite species was collected: Brevulacus carpathicus n. sp. is described and illustrated from Quercus petraea. Rhyncaphytoptus cerrifoliae Farkas is redescribed from Quercus cerris. Both species produce wax and are vagrant on the leaf undersurface. Two other species, viz. Aceria cichorii Petanovic, Boczek et Shi and Cecidophyes tristernalis (Nalepa) are new species for the fauna of Hungary. Some faunistic data on the known taxa from this country are included.
