Two new species of Tetranychidae belonging to the genus Bryobia are reported from France. Bryobiabelliloci sp. n. and Bryobiagigas sp. n. collected on Genistacinerea and Bituminariabituminosa, respectively, are described and illustrated in the present work. Additional data to the original description of Bryobiacinereae are given and an identification key to known Bryobia species from France is also provided.

The present study aimed to revise the subgeneric divisions of the genus based on persistent characteristics and to propose species groups in each subgenus to further ease the identification of species. As a result, only three subgenera, based on literature, are recognized, viz, subgenus Koch (duplex setae present on leg tarsi III-IV), subgenus Livschits and Mitrofanov (duplex setae absent on leg tarsi III-IV), and subgenus Livschits and Mitrofanov (duplex setae present only on leg tarsus III). The analysis based on morphological characters and available COI sequences on the GenBank database did not resolve the phylogenetic relationship of species, and likewise, no support could be found for the proposed subgeneric divisions.

The almond crop in Spain has increased in importance in recent years and consequently there is a need to improve knowledge about pests, diseases, and weeds. The present study was conducted from 2017 to 2020, with the objective of determining the fauna of spider mites and their natural enemies, with a special emphasis on phytoseiids. The main spider mite species was Tetranychus urticae Koch, and secondary species were Bryobia rubrioculus (Scheuten) and Eutetranychus banksii (McGregor).

The family Tetranychidae includes many agriculturally important species known as spider mites. Their morphological identification is quite difficult due to the tiny size of their taxonomic characters and the requirement for high-level expertise. This may lead to pest misidentification and thus failure in pest management.

Background: Bryobia (Koch) mites belong to the economically important spider mite family, the Tetranychidae, with >130 species described worldwide. Due to taxonomic difficulties and most species being asexual, species identification relies heavily on genetic markers. Multiple putative Bryobia mite species have been identified attacking pastures and grain crops in Australia.

The clover mite, Bryobia praetiosa Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is an agricultural pest, as well as a frequent invader of hospitals and homes. However, its adaptability to different temperatures is not well understood. We used age- and stage-specific life tables to investigate the effects of temperature on demographic parameters of B.
