Abstract

ABSTRACT The tomato red spider mite Tetranychus evansi was detected for the first time in New Zealand in May 2020. There is an urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnostic tools on this species. In order to meet this demand, we developed methods for identification of T. evansi in the field and laboratory based on damage symptoms, morphological characters and DNA sequences. To distinguish T. evansi from the previously recorded species a key to all species of Tetranychus in New Zealand is provided. DNA barcoding employing the mitochondrial COI gene enabled us to differentiate T. evansi from closely related species.

新西兰叶氏叶螨一新种的诊断(蜱螨亚纲:叶螨科)

摘要2020年5月，在新西兰首次发现番茄红蜘蛛螨埃文氏叶螨。迫切需要对该物种进行快速准确的诊断工具。为了满足这一需求，我们开发了基于损伤症状、形态特征和DNA序列在野外和实验室鉴定埃文氏锥虫的方法。为了将埃文氏叶螨与先前记录的物种区分开来，提供了新西兰所有叶螨物种的钥匙。利用线粒体COI基因的DNA条形码使我们能够将埃文西T.evansi与亲缘关系密切的物种区分开来。

期刊介绍： The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research. The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history. The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
