Abstract

This paper reports on eriophyoid mites of the genus Aceria Keifer (Eriophyoidea, Eriophyidae) associated with Tamarisk plants (Tamarix spp., Tamaricaceae) in Egypt and South Africa. Three new Aceria species are described: A. aegyptytamaricis n. sp. causing green galls on buds and twigs of Tamarix senegalensis DC. in Egypt, A. noorspoortiensis n. sp. causing bright pink galls on young shoots of T. usneoides E. Mey. ex Bunge in South Africa, and A. benhaiensis n. sp. living under scaly leaves and causing small green galls and deformation of twigs on T. senegalensis in Egypt and T. usneoides (in South Africa). Sequences of three genes, Cox1, D1D2 28S, and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2, were obtained for A. noorspoortiensis n. sp. and A. benhaiensis n. sp. Blastx search for Cox1 sequences of both new species against Aceria from GenBank (a) indicated the sequence AIT38252.1 of Aceria sp. from Tamarix sp. from India as the most similar with 87–90% identity and 55–56% coverage and (b) revealed one codon deletion about 500 bp in the 3′ direction from the Cox1 start codon, which is the first documented case of a codon deletion in the middle part of this gene in Eriophyinae. Additionally, supplementary descriptions of three other Aceria spp. collected from tamarisks in Egypt are given. They are: A. amrini Joshi from big brown galls of T. aphylla (L.) H. Karst. (first record for Africa), A. dioicae (Keifer) from green galls on buds and twigs of T. senegalensis, and A. tamaricis (Trotter) from green galls on buds and twigs of T. senegalensis (first record for Africa).

埃及和南非与柽柳相关的瘿螨属 Aceria（Eriophyoidea, Eriophyidae）的新种和记录

本文报道了在埃及和南非与柽柳科柽柳属植物(柽柳属，柽柳科)有亲缘关系的针叶螨属。报道了三种新的针叶虫种:埃及柽柳(aaegyptytamaricis n. sp.)，在塞内加尔柽柳(Tamarix senegalensis DC)芽枝上产生绿瘿。在埃及，noorspoortiensis n. sp.在T. usneoides E. Mey.幼芽上引起亮粉色的瘿。生活在鳞片状叶子下的benhaiensis n. sp.在埃及的T. senegalensis和南非的T. usneoides上造成小绿瘿和树枝变形。在GenBank中对这两个新种抗针叶虫的Cox1序列进行了Blastx搜索(a)，发现印度柽柽树属针叶虫的Aceria sp.的序列AIT38252.1最相似，同源性为87-90%，覆盖率为55-56%;(b)在Cox1起始密码子3′方向缺失约500 bp的密码子。这是第一个记录在案的该基因中部密码子缺失的案例。此外，还对从埃及柽柳中采集的其他三种柽柳属植物进行了补充描述。它们是:A. amrini Joshi来自金黄色葡萄球菌(T. aphylla, L.)的大棕色瘿。h .岩溶。(非洲第一次记录)，A. dioicae (Keifer)来自T. senegalensis芽和枝上的绿色瘿，A. tamaricis (Trotter)来自T. senegalensis芽和枝上的绿色瘿(非洲第一次记录)。

All manuscripts which do not conform to the instructions will be returned to authors without the benefit of review. Acarologia publishes the results of original research on all aspects of Acarology. The journal policy is that taxonomic descriptions should include several species within a same genus/family, when possible. The editors reserve the right to refuse manuscripts when authors intentionally divide individual species descriptions of the same genus/family into distinct publications. Single species descriptions should be clearly justified based on their scientific interest.
