Abstract

Tetra magnolivora (Keifer, 1939) (Acari, Eriophyidae) new combination was observed infesting Magnolia grandiflora L., in urban areas of Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil. This mite was observed in high populations on magnolia trees, causing wrinkles, distortion and decreased growth in infested leaves. This is the first record from Brazil for T. magnolivora and we provide new combination.
