Eriophyes similis (Nalepa, 1890)
( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 B)
Type data. Prunus domestica L. ( Rosaceae ); type locality not originally stated by Nalepa (1890a). Amrine and Stasny (1994) listed Europe and Austria, but the distribution of E. similis could be more extensive.
Relation to the host plant. This mite species causes pouch or bag galls on the upper leaf surface which are often placed along the leaf margins with openings on the lower leaf surface ( Canestrini 1892).
Geographic distribution. Palaearctic.
New locality record for Iran. 10 females, 2 males and 3 nymphs, from Kandovan village, Osku (37°47'31''N, 46°14'57''E), about 2,243 m above sea level on P. domestica , coll. P. Lotfollahi, 1 August 2011.
Previous provincial records from Iran. Esfahan, Tehran and East Azerbaijan, from Prunus armeniaca L., Prunus domestica and Prunus spinosa L. ( Kamali et al. 2001).
Remarks. The mites were collected from pouched, leaf galls. The morphometry of the female appears to match the original description by Nalepa (1890a).
