Abstract
During field surveys of eriophyoid mites in northeast Iran (Razavi Khorasan, Iran, summer 2023), two new vagrant eriophyoid species (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) on Lamiaceae plants were discovered, illustrated and described. They are Aceria borselaniensis sp. nov. on Hymenocrater calycinus Benth. and Aculus khorasanii sp. nov. on Salvia yangii B.T.Drew. Furthermore, the checklists and morphological keys of Aceria and Aculus mite species associated with Lamiaceae plants around the world are provided.
期刊介绍:
Systematic and Applied Acarology (SAA) is an international journal of the Systematic and Applied Acarology Society (SAAS). The journal is intended as a publication outlet for all acarologists in the world.
There is no page charge for publishing in SAA. If the authors have funds to publish, they can pay US$20 per page to enable their papers published for open access.
SAA publishes papers reporting results of original research on any aspects of mites and ticks. Due to the recent increase in submissions, SAA editors will be more selective in manuscript evaluation: (1) encouraging more high quality non-taxonomic papers to address the balance between taxonomic and non-taxonomic papers, and (2) discouraging single species description (see new special issues for single new species description) while giving priority to high quality systematic papers on comparative treatments and revisions of multiple taxa. In addition to review papers and research articles (over 4 printed pages), we welcome short correspondence (up to 4 printed pages) for condensed version of short papers, comments on other papers, data papers (with one table or figure) and short reviews or opinion pieces. The correspondence format will save space by omitting the abstract, key words, and major headings such as Introduction.
