Abstract
It has been reported that young shoots of the Chinese fringetree (Chionanthus retusus Lindl. & Paxton), a roadside tree in Korea, deformed into cauliflower-like galls, causing stunted growth. The symptom is associated with the occurrence of an eriophyid mite belonging to the genus Aceria, which is identified as Aceria chionanthi sp. nov. This study provides descriptions and photographs of this new mite species.
