Abstract
The family Tenuipalpidae is worldwide in distribution and includes several economically important pest species. Species of the genus Brevipalpus have been identified as vectors of rhabdoviruses that cause diseases such as citrus leprosis, coffee ring spot virus, passion fruit green spot virus and others that reduce the production and the life span of the plants. An updated list of the Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Prostigmata), a key to the genera of the world and data on zoogeographical distribution of the species are presented. The catalogue provides information on 891 known species (including 3 species incertae sedis) belonging to 34 genera. The valid name of each species, the author, date and page of the corresponding original description, type locality and host, species designation(s), references to species redescription(s) and other complementary information are presented. The genera Rarosiella Rimando 1996 and Neoraoiella Mohanasundaram 1996 are synonymized with Raoiella Hirst 1924. The genus Meyeraepalpus Smiley, Frost & Gerson 1996 is synonymized with the genus Aegyptobia Sayed 1950. Three new genera, Magdalenapalpus, Chaudhripalpus and Urigersonus are erected. Indices of the plant host species and families associated with each species, the number and regional distribution of species in each genus, and a list of relevant publications of species from each zoogeographical region are included.References
