Abstract
The records and descriptions of Eriophyid mites hitherto described from tomato are discussed. A statistical examination was made of morphological measurements of the New Zealand tomato russet mite. The names of gall-mites occurring on tomato have been reduced to two: Acerialycopersici (Wolffenstein) 1879, the tomato erineum mite (causing the production of white, hairy patches on stems and leaf stalks); and Vasates lycopersici (Massee) 1937, the tomatorusset mite (causing stem and leaf bronzing). A key is given to the species of gall-mites occurring on solanaceous plants and several new combinations are recorded.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
