Paratypes
12 females
, mounted on individual slide, same data as
holotype
.
Biology. The mites are free-living on the undersurface of leaves, no conspicuous damage was observed.
Etymology. This species is named after the generic name of the
type
host plant.
Remarks. This new species is similar to
T. celtus
Huang, 2001
, but can be diagnosed by: admedian lines complete and submedian lines from base to basel 3/5, scapular tubercles near rear shield margin, accessory setae
h1
present, female genital coverflap with 12–14 longitudinal ridges, empodium 4-rayed. In
T. celtus
, the admedian lines from base to basal 3/4, scapular tubercles on rear shield margin, submedian lines and accessory setae
(h1
) absent, empodium 5-rayed, the female genital coverflap smooth (
Huang, 2001b
).
