Relation to the host plant.
The mites inhabit the under surface of leaves as vagrants without showing symptoms of damage to the host plant.
Remarks.
The original report of B. glochidionae from G. multiloculare needs further confirmation because this mite species and other two Ashieldophyinae have been collected subsequently from plants of the genus Casearia ( Salicaceae ).
