161BB14FBF03FFCC92E4FCE6FAD409D6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Phyllocoptinae was established by Nalepa (1892) and is characterized by following characters: body fusiform; gnathosoma relatively smaller than in other families compared with the body, projecting obliquely downwards; prodorsal shield with frontal lobe; scapular setae present or absent; division of legs normal; opisthosoma with broad dorsal annuli and narrow ventral annuli. Five tribes are included in the Phyllocoptinae: Acaricalini Amrine & Stasny, 1994, Calacarini Amrine & Stasny, 1994, Tegonotini Bagdasarian, 1978, Phyllocoptini Nalepa, 1892, Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994. The mites described here belong to three tribes: Anthocoptini, Acaricalini and Tegonotini. Anthocoptini Amrine & Stasny, 1994. Dorsal annuli lacking latral extensions; prodorsal shield with scapular setae on or near margin; setae usually directed divergently posteriaed; scapular setae with tubercles either cylindrical or rounded, or with basal axes transverse.	en	Ou, Shan-Sheng, Wang, Guo-Quan, Wei, Sui-Gai (2014): Five new species of Phyllocoptinae (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) from China.

Holotype female, Shengtangshan National Nature Reserve (23 ° 54 ′ N, 110 ° 6 ′ E), Jinxiu County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, 21 July 2011, from Acanthopanax gracilistylus W. W. Smith (Araliaceae), coll. Shan-Sheng Ou and Sui-Gai Wei. Paratypes 7 females and 6 males, 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. The species is named after the generic name of the type host plant. Remarks. This new species is similar to P. phragmitae Kuang, 1991, but can be diagnosed by: admedian lines forming three sub rhombus patterns from frontal lobe to rear margin, opisthosoma dorsal annuli at lateral parts with rounded microtubercles, female coverflap with three rows short cross lines at base, and with 10 – 12 longitudinal ridges, accessory setae h 1 present. In P. phragmitae, the admedian lines forming a rhombus in distal of shield, then converge forming a small rhombus, opisthosoma annuli smooth dorsoventrally, female coverflap rhombus-shaped, accessory setae h 1 absent (Kuang, 1991).
