Abstract
In this paper, five new species of the genus Tegolophus Keifer from China are described and illustrated, namely Tegolophus changbais sp. nov. on Ulmus sp. (Ulmaceae); Tegolophus floridumis sp. nov. on Jasminum floridum Bunge (Oleaceae); Tegolophus picrasmae sp. nov. on Picrasma quassioides (D. Don) Benn. (Simarubaceae); Tegolophus suffruticosae sp. nov. on Securinega suffruticosa (Pall.) Rehd. (Euphorbiaceae); Tegolophus triarrhenae sp. nov. on Triarrhena sacchariflora (Maxim.) Nakai (Gramineae). A key to the species of Tegolophus in China is provided. The eriophyoid mite species described here are vagrants on the undersurface of host leaves.References
