Hibiscus macrophyllus Roxb. ex Hornem. (Malvaceae).</p> <p>Relation to the host plant. This mite causes bud galls with domes on the lower leaf surfaces. The leaves appear bronzed, with reddish coloured pockmarks on the dorsal surface (Figs. 2–4).</p> <p>Remarks. This new species is distinct among Aceria spp. having 4-rayed empodia and reported from India in the presence of prominent lobes on the postero-lateral margins of the prodorsal shield. In addition to this character, the new species is distinct among the species of Aceria that are specific to the host plants of the family Malvaceae in its characteristic prodorsal shield design and legs I and II with very long solenidia with faint transverse sculptures.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/955CBA73FFDAFFBBFF61F354FE857E86	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
