Abstract
A new genus and three new species of eriophyoid mites from China are described and illustrated. They are Abifurcacothrix brassaiopsis gen. nov. & sp. nov. infesting Brassaiopsis glomerulata (Bl.) Regel. (Araliaceae), Neocalepitrimerus pittosporus sp. nov. and Diptilomiopus illicioides sp. nov. infesting Pittosporum illicioides Mak. (Pittosporaceae). These new species were found to be vagrant on the lower surface of their associated plant leaves, with no apparent damage observed.
