Extract

Descriptions are given of the tomato erineum mite, Aceria lycopersici, and the tomato russet mite, Vasates lycopersici, in Morocco, from which country the latter species is recorded for the first time.

A. cladophthirus is shown to be a synonym of A. lycopersici.

These two mites are almost world-wide in distribution and probably occur in most countries where tomatos are grown, but A. lycopersici has not been recorded from Australia or New Zealand.
