ERIOPHYIDAE

Flechtmann, Carlos H. W. & Etienne, Jean, 2002, New records of plant mites (Acari, Acaridae, Tetranychidae) from Guadeloupe and Marie Galante with descriptions of five new eriophyid species, Zootaxa 47, pp. 1-16 : 2

ERIOPHYIDAE

In the descriptions of the new species, all measurements are given in micrometers and, unless otherwise specified, refer to the length of the structure. For females, each measurement of the holotype precedes the corresponding range for the paratypes. Some measurements of the holotype could not be taken because of the position it was mounted. The ventral opisthosomal annuli count starts from the first annulus bordering the genitalia posteriorly. Length of legs is from trochanteral basis to the tip of tarsus, not including tarsal appendages (solenidion and empodium).
