Description

Panonychus citri McGregor, 1916

Origin of the specimens examined — Area C: Slankamenački Vinogradi (44°49’02”N, 20°26’05”E), on Malus pumilla (Rosaceae), 12♀ and 8♂, 12/08/2013; Area O: Tara (43°56’60”N, 19°22’09”E), on Malus sylvestris (Rosaceae), 11♀ and 4♂, 22/05/2013; Area

Remarks — This species was found on three host plants from the family Rosaceae, which are its new host records in the world. It is a worldwide distributed species with 69 records (including Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Greece in the Balkans), found on 108 host plants from 38 families, mostly on Rutaceae, Rosaceae and Moraceae. The species is a severe pest of Citrus plants (Vacante, 2016), also described in former Yugoslavia (Petanović and Filipi-Matutinović, 1988), but these data are not related to Serbia, which is not a citrus producing country due to unfavorable climate.
