Description
Calepitrimerus baileyi Keifer, 1938
(Fig. 3 D)
Type data. Malus domestica Borkh. (Rosaceae); Davis, California, USA.
Relation to the host. This mite species inhabits the lower leaf surfaces, causing slight browning or rusting of leaf lamina (Keifer 1975).
Geographic distribution. Antarctic, Nearctic, Palaearctic.
New locality records for Iran. 13 females and 7 males, from Kandovan village, Osku (37°47'31''N, 46°14'57''E), about 2,243 m above sea level, 1 August 2011, and 3 females and 2 males, Azarshahr (37°46'24"N, 45°57'20"E), 1,353 m above sea level, 2 August 2011. All on M. domestica, coll. P. Lotfollahi.
Previous provincial records from Iran. Hamadan, collected from Malus domestica, and Guilan, collected from Cydonia oblonga Mill. (Malek Mohammadi et al. 2002; Hajizadeh & Hosseini 2004).
Remarks. The morphometry of the female matches the original description by Keifer (1938). However, the lengths of the opisthosomal setae c2 (19–23), d (45–55), e (15–20), f (24–28), h2 (56–60) and setae 3a (30–39) of the Iranian specimens are slightly longer than those in Keifer’s description, possibly resulting from differences in the quality of the microscope used.
