Family: Tenuipalpidae View in CoL View at ENA
False spider mites are smaller than Tetranychidae dorsoventrally flat and slow moving. Only two species have been reported on olive trees in Tunisian orchards, belonging to the same genus ( Brevipalpus ) ( Pegazzano and Castagnoli 1972). Symptoms appear generally as small white spots on the leaves and in case of heavy infestations can result in desiccation and leaf drop ( Pegazzano and Castagnoli 1972).
