Abstract

In this paper, four new eriophyoid mite species in the genus Rhyncaphytoptus from China are described and illustrated. They are Rhyncaphytoptus tibetirosae sp. nov. on Rosa sp. (Rosaceae), Rhyncaphytoptus acutifoliae sp. nov. on Cotoneaster acutifolius Turcz. (Rosaceae), Rhyncaphytoptus tibetisalicise sp. nov. on Salix sp. (Salicaceae) and Rhyncaphytoptus buxifoliae sp. nov. on Cotoneaster buxifolius Lindl. (Rosaceae). All eriophyoid mites described herein are vagrants on the undersurface of host leaves. A key to the species of Chinese Rhyncaphytoptus is provided.
