Two false spider mite species (Tetranychoidea: Tenuipalpidae) are reported in Greece. One new species, Aegyptobia insularis Stathakis and Vrettos sp. nov., collected from the Mediterranean shrub Phagnalon rupestre ssp. graecum (Asteraceae), is described. Dolichotetranychus summersi Pritchard and Baker is found on a new and probably natural host plant, the common couch grass Elymus repens (Poaceae); this is the first record of this mite in the Palearctic region. Females and deutonymphs of D. summersi are redescribed, based on the specimens from Greece.
两种伪叶螨（蜱螨目：植绥螨科）在希腊被报道。一种新种，Aegyptobia insularis Stathakis 和 Vrettos sp. nov.，从地中海灌木 Phagnalon rupestre ssp. graecum（菊科）中采集到。Dolichotetranychus summersi Pritchard 和 Baker 发现于一种新的、可能是天然的寄主植物，普通草地雀麦 Elymus repens（禾本科）；这是该螨在古北区的首次记录。基于来自希腊的标本，重新描述了 D. summersi 的雌性和若虫。
