Abstract

Until now eight species in the genus Eotetranychus were known from Italy and nine from France. This study reports the presence of two additional species in Italy: E. aceri Reck and E. fraxini Reck and one in France: E. uncatus Garman. New host plants are reported for E. rubiphilus Reck and E. aceri, and distributional and host plant data are recorded for several other species. E. fraxini was previously known only from Georgia and Hungary and is redescribed here.
