Eriophyes Aceris
''Eriophyes'' is a genus of mite that forms galls, mainly on the leaves of deciduous plants. Some are called blister mites. The blue butterfly '' Celastrina serotina'' has been reported to feed on these galls and also on the mites, making it one of the uncommon carnivorous Lepidoptera. Whereas other mites have four paired legs, ''Eriophyes'' have only two. They feed by piercing plant cells to access the nutritious juices inside. While their saliva is known for creating recognizable, colorful galls, it Eriophyes infestation can also create other symptoms like brittleness or irregular blisters. Species Species include: * '' Eriophyes aceris'' * '' Eriophyes alniincanae'' Nalepa, 1919 * '' Eriophyes amelancheus'' Nalepa, 1926 * '' Eriophyes arianus'' (Canestrini 1890) * '' Eriophyes betulae'' * '' Eriophyes betulinus'' * '' Eriophyes bucidae'' * '' Eriophyes buxi'' * '' Eriophyes calcercis'' , purple erineum maple mite * '' Eriophyes calophylli'' * '' Eriophyes calycophthir ...

Eriophyes Tiliae
''Eriophyes tiliae'' is a mite that forms the lime nail gall or bugle gall. It develops in a chemically induced gall; an erect, oblique or curved distortion rising up from the upper surface of the leaves of the lime (linden) trees (genus ''Tilia''), such as the large-leaved lime tree ''Tilia platyphyllos'', the common lime tree ''Tilia × europaea'', etc. Description During late spring and summer, tubular growths up to long develop Anatomical terms of location#apical, apically on the leaves of Tilia, ''Tilia sp.'' These galls are yellow-green or red in color, may be very numerous, and predominantly occur on the lower leaves in some sub-species. The galls appear not to affect the health of their hosts, and no way of controlling or preventing them exists. Taxonomy Several sub-species have been identified, partly identified by their positioning on the leaves in relation to the Leaf#Veins, veins and other structures. Life cycle The mites move onto the foliage in the spring ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
