Eriophyes Mali
''Eriophyes'' is a genus of acari that forms galls, specially on trees of the family Rosaceae. Some are called blister mites. The blue butterfly ''Celastrina serotina'' has been reported to feed on these galls and also on the mites, making it one of the uncommon carnivorous Lepidoptera. Species Species include: * ''Eriophyes alniincanae'' Nalepa, 1919 * ''Eriophyes amelancheus'' Nalepa, 1926 * ''Eriophyes arianus'' (Canestrini 1890) * ''Eriophyes betulae'' * ''Eriophyes betulinus'' * ''Eriophyes bucidae'' * ''Eriophyes buxi'' * ''Eriophyes calcercis'' , purple erineum maple mite * ''Eriophyes calophylli'' * ''Eriophyes calycophthirus'' * ''Eriophyes canestrini'' * ''Eriophyes canestrinii'' * ''Eriophyes cerasicrumena'' , black cherry finger gall mite * ''Eriophyes chondrillae'' * ''Eriophyes condrillae'' , gall mites * ''Eriophyes crataegi'' * ''Eriophyes cupulariae'' * ''Eriophyes dentatae'' * ''Eriophyes dimocarpi'' , longan gall mite * ''Eriophyes diversipunctatu ...

Eriophyes Tiliae
''Eriophyes tiliae'' is a mite that forms the lime nail gall or bugle gall. It develops in a chemically induced gall; an erect, oblique or curved distortion rising up from the upper surface of the leaves of the lime (linden) trees (genus ''Tilia''), such as the large-leaved lime tree ''Tilia platyphyllos'', the common lime tree ''Tilia × europaea'', etc. Description During late spring and summer, tubular growths up to long develop apically on the leaves of ''Tilia sp.'' These galls are yellow-green or red in color, may be very numerous, and predominantly occur on the lower leaves in some sub-species. The galls appear not to affect the health of their hosts, and no way of controlling or preventing them exists. Taxonomy Several sub-species have been identified, partly identified by their positioning on the leaves in relation to the veins and other structures. Life cycle The mites move onto the foliage in the spring, having overwintered in bark crevices and around buds. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
