Palp tarsus small, twice as long as broad with a teat-like clear structure at the tip. Setae sc i much longer than seta v e and sc e, at least more than twice their lengths. Setae c 3, e 2 and f 2 very short, less than half lengths of corresponding dorsocentrals. Leg chaeotaxy: The leg chaetotaxy of this species can vary within specimens, even amongst type specimens. Tarsi 10 (1)+ 2-9 (1)- 8 (1)- 8 (1); tibiae 8 (2)- 7 (1)- 7 - 7; genua 5 - 5 - 3 - 2; femora 8 (1)- 7 - 4 - 4; coxae 2 - 2 - 1 - 1. Specimens examined: Eight females collected from Grewia plagiophylla (Tiliaceae) and one female from Anacardium occidentale (Anacardiaceae) both from Malindi district (S03° 20.132 '; E04°00.779'). Remarks: This species was first reported and described from South Africa on Scutia mytrina (Rhamnaceae) and Grewia caffra (Tiliaceae) and this is the only second report of this species. In the field they are grayish green in colour.Published as part of Toroitich, Faith J., Ueckermann, Edward A., Theron, Pieter D. & Knapp, Markus, 2009, The tetranychid mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) of Kenya and a redescription of the species Peltanobia erasmusi Meyer (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on males, pp. 33-47 in Zootaxa 2176 on page 39, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18936
Tetranychus neocaledonicus Andre 1933
No full textTetranychus neocaledonicus André, 1933. Distinctive of this species is the shape of male aedegus that curves dorsad and both anterior and posterior projections are rounded and knob bears a small indent medially (Figure 5 D). The female tarsus I with proximal pair of duplex setae distal to proximal tactile setae Specimens examined: Five males and several females collected on Manihot esculenta (Euphorbiaceae) from Shimba Hills, Kwale district (S04° 21.818; E039° 19.490 '). Remarks: This species was first described on Gossypium sp. from New Caledonia (Ándre, 1933) and is widely distributed in both the Afrotropics and Neotropics, USA and palearctic region on a wide range of host plants (Migeon and Dorkeld, 2006). In Kenya, the first record of this species was on Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae) from Nairobi (Baker and Pritchard, 1960). Damage on cassava leaves appear as silver stipples; severely infested plants appear stunted and leaves reduced in size.Published as part of Toroitich, Faith J., Ueckermann, Edward A., Theron, Pieter D. & Knapp, Markus, 2009, The tetranychid mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) of Kenya and a redescription of the species Peltanobia erasmusi Meyer (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on males, pp. 33-47 in Zootaxa 2176 on pages 44-45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18936
Mixonychus acaciae Ryke and Meyer 1960
No full textMixonychus acaciae Ryke and Meyer, 1960 Distinctive of this species are female dorsal opisthosomal setae which are set on tubercles, spiculate, do not taper, shorter than distances to next row of setae. Fourth pair of dorsocentrals (f 1) nearer to each other than members of other three pairs of dorsocentrals. Leg chaetotaxy as follows: tarsi 10 (2)- 9 (1)- 7 - 7; tibiae 9 - 5 - 5 - 5; genua 5 - 5 - 3 - 3; femora 7 - 6 - 3 - 2; coxae 2 - 2 - 1 - 1. Specimens examined: nine females collected from Acacia nilotica (Fabaceae) from Machakos district (S01º 25.137 ’; E037º00.953’) and two females on Acacia sp. from Baringo district (N00° 30.590 '; E035° 38.766 ’). Remarks: This species has previously been reported in the Southern Africa region only. It was first described on Acacia karoo from South Africa (Ryke and Meyer, 1960) and has subsequently been collected on several species of Acacia. Although it is known to occur on hosts from other plants families, it seems to exhibit preference for the family Fabaceae. It is however found in small numbers and thus do not seem to cause any serious threat to the thorn trees. They are reddish brown in colour.Published as part of Toroitich, Faith J., Ueckermann, Edward A., Theron, Pieter D. & Knapp, Markus, 2009, The tetranychid mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) of Kenya and a redescription of the species Peltanobia erasmusi Meyer (Acari: Tetranychidae) based on males, pp. 33-47 in Zootaxa 2176 on page 41, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18936
