Three new species of Eotetranychus (Acari: Tetranychidae) are described and illustrated from Japan. The new species and their host plants are as follows: Eotetranychus palatiensis sp. nov. from Morus australis Poiret (Moraceae), Eotetranychus carpinicolus sp. nov. from Carpinus laxiflora (Siebold et Zuccarini) Blume and C. cordata Blume (Betulaceae), and Eotetranychus linderae sp. nov. from Lindera umbellata Thunberg (Lauraceae). A maximum likelihood tree extracted from the above-mentioned species based on the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) indicated that these species are clearly separated from each other and from selected related species. A key to all Eotetranychus species known in Japan is given.
本文描述并展示了采自日本的三种新的始叶螨属(蜱螨亚纲:叶螨科)物种。新物种及其寄主植物如下:采自鲁桑(桑科)的腭始叶螨新种;采自疏花鹅耳枥和心叶鹅耳枥(桦木科)的鹅耳枥始叶螨新种;以及采自山胡椒(樟科)的山胡椒始叶螨新种。基于线粒体DNA(mtDNA)的细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I(COI)基因,从上述物种中提取的最大似然树表明,这些物种彼此之间以及与选定的相关物种明显分离。给出了日本已知的所有始叶螨属物种的检索表。
