Tetranychus urticae Koch, 1836 (two­spotted spider mite)

Distribution. Tomato ( Solanaceae); (Jensen & Mingochi 1988 [not seen]). (Carmona 1968).

Synonym. Tetranychus telarius (Linnaeus), Carmona, 1968: 272.

Remarks. Carmona (1968) lists T. cinnabarinus as a synonym of T. telarius . Both of these species have been synonymized with T. urticae (by Dupont (1979) and Smith & Baker (1968) respectively). However, because Tetranychus cinnabarinus is now treated as distinct, it is possible that Carmona’s material would be identified as this species.
