Fundamental knowledge on the morphology, biology, ecology, and economic importance of Eriophyoidea has been exhaustively compiled by Lindquist et al. (Eriophyoid mites--their biology, natural enemies and control; Elsevier, 1996). Since that time, the number of recognized species and the economic importance of the taxon have increased substantially. The aim of this paper is to analyze and briefly review new findings from eriophyoid mites' literature after Lindquist et al. book, stressing persistent gaps and needs. Much recent attention has been given to sampling and detection, taxonomy and systematics, faunistic surveys, internal morphology, rearing techniques, biological and ecological aspects, biomolecular studies, and virus vectoring. Recommendations are made for integrating research and promoting broader dissemination of data among specialists and non-specialists.
林德奎斯特等人（Eriophyoid mites--their biology, natural enemies and control; Elsevier, 1996）详尽地编写了关于叶螨形态学、生物学、生态学和经济重要性的基础知识。从那时起，已识别物种的数量和该分类单元的经济重要性有了实质性的增加。本文的目的是分析和简要回顾林德奎斯特等人的书出版后叶螨文献中的新发现，强调持续存在的差距和需求。最近人们对采样和检测、分类学和系统学、区系调查、内部形态学、饲养技术、生物学和生态学方面、生物分子研究以及病毒载体等方面给予了极大关注。建议整合研究并促进专家和非专家之间更广泛地传播数据。
