Abstract

In this paper, a new genus and three new species of eriophyid mites from Heng County and Longlin County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, South China are described and illustrated: Calpentaconvexus eyrei n. gen. and n. sp. infesting Castanopsis eyrei (Champ. ex Benth.) Tutch. (Fagaceae); Phyllocoptruta subcoriaceae n. sp. infesting Embelia subcoriacea Mez. (Myrsinaceae) and Petanovicia discolor n. sp. infesting Sapium discolor (Champ. ex Benth.) Muell.-Arg.
