Two new eriophyoid mite species are described from the cocoa tree, Theobroma cacao L. (Malvaceae) - the Diptilomiopidae Davisella trevisani n. sp. Rodrigues, Navia & Oliveira, from Brazil; and the Eriophyidae Tetra theobromae n. sp. Rodrigues, Navia & Oliveira, from Costa Rica. The new Davisella species presents an enlarged subcylindrical tubercle bearing pedipalp genual seta d, a novel structure for eriophyoid mites; its functional morphology was discussed. The new Tetra species is the third in this genus described from plants of the Malvaceae. A closer look at Shevtchenkella biseta (Nalepa), described from the Malvaceae Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., showed its taxonomic assignment to the Phytoptidae, Sierraphytoptinae and raised a hypothesis on its synonymy.
从可可树(Theobroma cacao L.,锦葵科)中描述了两种新的瘿螨物种——来自巴西的迪普蒂洛螨科的特雷维萨尼戴维斯螨(Davisella trevisani n. sp.)Rodrigues、纳维亚和奥利维拉;以及来自哥斯达黎加的瘿螨科的可可四瘿螨(Tetra theobromae n. sp.)Rodrigues、纳维亚和奥利维拉。新的戴维斯螨物种具有一个扩大的亚圆柱形瘤,其上着生须肢膝节刚毛d,这是瘿螨类的一种新结构;对其功能形态进行了讨论。新的四瘿螨物种是该属中从锦葵科植物中描述的第三个物种。对从锦葵科植物朱槿(Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L.)中描述的双毛谢夫琴螨(Shevtchenkella biseta (Nalepa))进行更仔细的观察后,表明其分类归属为植羽螨科、锯齿植羽螨亚科,并提出了关于其同义名的假说。
