Abstract

In this paper, four new eriophyoid mite species in the tribe Anthocoptini from China are described and illustrated: Abacarus fopingi sp. nov. on Rhus chinensis Mill. (Anacardiaceae); Abacarus jiuhuaensis sp. nov. on Spodiopogon sibiricus Trin. (Gramineae); Indotegolophus bambusae sp. nov. and Aculochetus wanluoensis sp. nov. on Bambusa sp. (Gramineae). All species are vagrant on the undersurface of leaves, causing no apparent damage on the host plant. A key to the species of Abacarus from China is provided.
