Abstract
Abstract This chapter focuses on five phytophagous mites that were reported in South America during the last decade and that were considered relevant due to their current or potential socioeconomic importance and/or their invasive history: the Hindustan Citrus Mite, Schizotetranychus hindustanicus; the Lychee Erinose Mite, Aceria litchii; the Red Palm Mite, Raoiella indica; the Wheat Curl Mite, Aceria tosichella; and the Panicle Rice Mite, Steneotarsonemus spinki. Information is given on their taxonomy, distribution and invasion history, host plants, and economic impact on past and recently affected areas of these invasive mites. A brief review of morphological and biological aspects, symptoms, detection and control tactics (including chemical, biological, cultural, and host plant resistance) in use or of potential for these invasive mites, is also presented.
