Project Leader: Dr Zhi-Qiang Zhang

Programme Title: Identification Key to Tetranychidae of New Zealand

Goals: To provide a user-friendly identification key to the genera and species of the mites in the families Tetranychidae occurring in New Zealand.

Contexts of the Project:A key is required that allows identification of tetranychid mites in New Zealand to facilitate requests for rapid quarantine decisions from trading partners.

Approach: Existing slide-mounted specimens in NZAC, MAF NPPRL in Lincoln and Lynfield, and otheravailable material, were collated, assessed and examined by light microscopy, and diagnosticfeatures discriminating genera and species were identified and illustrated by line drawings. Theinformation was collated into an illustrated dichotomous key. Unnamed species were referredto by codes. Distributional data were provided based on published records but mostly from dataaccompanying the specimens.

Outcomes:About 850 slides containing over 2000 specimens of New Zealand tetranychid mites werestudied. An illustrated key to 2 subfamilies, 12 genera and 46 species of the Tetranychidae wasconstructed. Both subfamilies of the Tetranychidae are represented in New Zealand. Among the12 genera, three are recorded for the first time in New Zealand. Among the 46 species, over one-third are new species to be described in the future. For each species, the following data areprovided: full species name, list of taxonomic references; distribution data; and a list ofspecimens examined, with host plant and distribution information.

Summary: This project provides a user-friendly identification key to the genera and species of the mites of Tetranychidae in New Zealand. It enables the identification of tetranychid mites in New Zealand to facilitate requests for rapid quarantine decisions from trading partners. The key was constructed through careful studies of over 2000 specimens preserved on slides, and was illustrated with figures of discriminating characters. A total of 12 genera and 46 species was included in the key, including 3 genera newly recorded for New Zealand and 16 new species. Distribution, taxonomic references, the list of specimens with host plants were provided for each species.

Full report

Introduction to Tetranychidae

Taxonomic position. Mites belong to the arthropod class Arachnida. They are among thesmallest arthropods; many of them can not be seen by the naked eye. The family Tetranychidaebelong to the mite order Prostigmata, which includes some 120 mite families.

Economic importance. Mites of the Tetranychidae (common name spider mites) include someof the important pests in agriculture and forestry, and can be found feeding on many fruit trees,vines, berries, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Many spider mites naturally inhabitephemeral and patchily distributed resources, such as weeds. The two-spotted spider mite,Tetranychus urticae Koch, is one of the major pests of ornamental plants and vegetable/fruitcrops grown worldwide, and it is found on approximately 1200 described plant species in 70genera. One species, Tetranychus linterius, is beneficial, and has been used as a biologicalcontrol agent against gorse in New Zealand.

Life cycle and reproduction. Female spider mites normally lay eggs on the undersides of leaves.There are four distinctive active developmental stages. The larva has six legs and is followedby the protonymph, deutonymph and finally the adult stage, all of which have eight legs. Thereare quiescent intervals between each active stage, during which moulting takes place.Development from egg to adult may vary from 1 to 2 weeks or more, depending on species,temperature, host plant, humidity and other factors.

The life span of the adult female is divided into the preovipositional period, being the timeafter molting from deutonymphal stage to the deposition of the first egg, the ovipositionalperiod, which can last from 10 days at 35°C to 40 days at 15°C for T. urticae, and finally thepostovipositional period. Total fecundity (eggs laid/female) varies with mite species,temperature, species of host plant, relative humidity, nutrition of host plant, exposure topesticides, etc. Peak fecundity (161 eggs/female of T. urticae) occurs at a temperature of 25°C,with the maximum rate of reproduction (12 eggs/female/day) occurring 2 days after the firsteggs are laid.

Dispersal and damage. Spider mites have well-developed dispersal mechanisms that enabletheir populations to spread and fully exploit individual host plants, and colonise widelyseparated plants over large areas. Tetranychid mite populations are characterized by cycles ofinitial colonization by mated females followed by rapid growth of the population, localizedover-exploitation of the host, and subsequent dispersal to a new resource. In some species suchas T. urticae, the pre-reproductive female stages are more inclined to emigrate from the leafregardless of population density on that leaf.

Spider mites are so-named because of the silk webbing produced by some species in thesubfamily Tetranychinae; however, many of these mites use silk only to protect their eggs.


The mite feeds from the lower side of the leaf by inserting its chelicerae into the leaves'parenchyma cells, the contents of which are then drawn into the body of the mite by a"pharyngeal pump". Typical symptoms include yellow spots on the upper side of the leaf due tochlorophyll depletion. The leaves become stunted and deformed. The stippling or speckling ofthe upper leaf surface, plus the webbing produced by spider mites, leads to aesthetic injury,particularly in the case of ornamental plants.

Taxonomy, classification and morphology. The family includes 2 subfamilies, over 70 generaand about 1200 described species in the world. Fewer than 3% of these species are currentlyknown in New Zealand.

Spider mites are medium-sized mites and are, on average, 400 millimetres in length(excluding mouthparts). Tetranychidae belong to the superfamily Tetranychoidea, which differsfrom related mites by their long, recurved and whip-like chelicerae, arising from the stylophore(capsule like structure, made of fused body of chelicerae). Their closest relative is believed tobe the superfamily Raphignathoidea, which can be distinguished from tetranychoids by theirshort chelicerae. In addition, tetranychoids are phytophagous and female genital pores aretransverse, whereas the raphignathoids are free-living (mostly predators, but a few species areparasitic on insects), and their genital pores are longitudinal.

The family Tetranychidae is the most important member of the Tetranychoidea. Theidiosoma in the male is smaller than that of the female and wedge-shaped posteriorly, while thefemale is oval-shaped and rounded posteriorly (Fig. 1). On the prodorsum there are normallythree pairs of setae (four pairs in some groups, e.g., Bryobia). The last two pairs are sc1(anterior to eyes) and sc2 (posterior to eyes). The anterior pair is v2 but in some genera (e.g.,Bryobia) the pair v1 (internal to v2) is also present. In Bryobia, the size and shape of lobes atthe bases of setae v1 and v2 are of importance in species identification. On the opisthosomaldorsum (Fig. 1), there are five rows of setae (c1-3, d1-2, e1-2, f1-2 and h1-3). The number,location, length and structure of dorsal setae are of taxonomic significance. Setae f2 are missingin Yezonychus and Trilobonychus, but are present in all other New Zealand genera. Setae h2-3may appear ventral in position in some species, depending on the way the slides are mounted.On the ventral side of the body, the number of setae in the coxal-sternal region is constant in thefamily. The anus is located posteriorly and its valves bear two pairs of ps setae (Tetrancyhiinae)or three pairs of ps setae (Bryobiinae) in females. The female genital pore has typical foldsaround it, with the second pair of genital setae, g2 (Fig. 1). Anterior to the genital pore, there isan ovoid flap with a pair of genital setae (g1). The striation pattern on and anterior to the femalegenital flap is of significane for species identification in some groups. In general, the striationpattern on the body surface and the shape of male aedeagus in the lateral profile are ofimportance in species identification.

On tarsus I and tarsus II there are usually one or two pairs of duplex setae (a longsolenidion or sensillary seta and a short normal tactile seta with their bases joined together; Fig.1). The number of duplex setae and their positions are of taxonomic significance. Thestructures of the paired lateral claws and the medial empodium are of taxonomic importance asillustrated in the key. The claws may be claw-like or pad-like with tenent hairs, and so is theempodium. Claws may bear dorsal or ventral hairs.

The gnathosoma consists of the chelicerae, palps and mouthparts. The palptarus has anenlarged eupathidium (spinneret) in the Tetranychinae and this is used to spin webbing in manyspecies. Its size and shape is of taxonomic significance.

Lindquist (1985) gives a detailed treatment of the morphology of spider mites.

Among the 3 families of tetranychoids known in New Zealand, the family Tetranychidaemay be identified using the following key.

Some useful methods: When collecting mites from plants, it is useful to collect all differentstages and sexes and to note the colour of mites, their feeding damages and webbing if any.Collecting males is important for several genera of the Tetranychidae because they are essentialfor species-level identifcation.

It is best to kill and preserve fresh mites in a solution of methanol and acetic acid asrecommended by Saito and Osakabe (1992) so that mite legs will be spread out when mountedon slides.

When mites are mounted on slides, it is recommended that only one specimen is mountedper slide. Several specimens of the same sample may be mounted on one slide if it is cetainthey are the same species. Males should be mounted in a lateral position to allow a lateralprofile of the aedeagus. Henderson (2001) described a method for making such slides.

Aim of the project

To facilitate identifications of spider mites and enable rapid quarantine decisions from tradingpartners by producing an illustrated and user-friendly identification key suitable for non-specialists, and by providing data on distribution of each species.

Methodology

Existing slide-mounted specimens in the New Zealand Arthropod Collection (NZAC) atLandcare Research in Auckland, and in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry NPPRL inLincoln and Lynfield, together with other available material, were collated and assessed. Newslides were prepared where existing material was inadequate. All slides were examined by lightmicroscopy, and diagnostic features discriminating genera and species were identified.Diagnostic features were illustrated by line drawings using a drawing tube attached to a high-quality compound microscope. The information was comparatively analysed and collated intoan illustrated dichotomous key. Unnamed species were referred to by codes and were notformally described, but specimen deposition and collection data were provided. Distributionalinformation is provided based on published and unpublished records based on “Crosby Codes”(Crosby et al. 1998).

Results

GENERAL ACCOUNT

During this 1-year project, over 850 slides containing over 2000 specimens of New Zealandspider mites were studied. A key to 12 genera and 46 species of the Tetranychidae wasconstructed, and illustrated with diagnostic characters. Both subfamilies of the Tetranychidaeare represented in New Zealand. Among the 12 genera, three are recorded for the first time inNew Zealand. Among the 45 species, over one-third (16) are unnamed species to be describedin the future. For each species, the following data are provided: full species name; list oftaxonomic references; distribution data; and a list of specimens examined, with host plant anddistribution information.

GUIDE TO USE OF KEY

This key is designed to identify mites prepared on glass microslides. A high quality compoundmicroscope with differential interference contrast is best for viewing all the characters. A simplephase contrast microscope can also be used if an interference microscope is not available. Oilimmersion is usually required to see the detailed morphological characters (such as striationpattern, tenant hairs on claws, shape of male genitals). Best results can be obtained byexamining clean and properly prepared slides.

This dichotomous key allows identification of spider mites to subfamily, genus and species, andis based on both adult males and females.

The structures of the claw and empodium are of great importance at the generic level.Chaetotaxy (setal pattern) on the dorsal idiosoma is used extensively in the key for speciesidentication. Notations of rows of dorsal setae (v, sc, c, d, e, f, h and ps) using Grandjean’ssystem are illustrated in Fig 1. The presence/absence of setae f2 is important for classificationat the generic level. Chaetotaxy on legs is also used extensively in the key. Length of leg ismeasured from the tip of tarsus to the base of trochanter.

Distinguishing characters are compared and contrasted in couplets, and figures of keycharacters are placed immediately after the couplets for easy reference. The first few pages ofthe key are fully illustrated so use can easily associate descriptions of characters withillustrations. In the latter part of the key, where these characters are repeated, they are notillustrated, as users should know them at this stage, or can refer to earlier couplets in the key.

When a specimen is keyed to the specific level, users are advised to compare the specimen(s)with descriptions in the references for confirmation. In the appendix, references to eachdescribed species are provided. A list of all examined specimens are listed, along with host anddistribution information.

Notes on Tetranychus urticae/T. cinnabarinus complex: Some authors consider these as onespecies and T. cinnabarinus is referred to as the red from of T. urtucae. Both species showgreat variation in some characters.

Notes on Tetranychus kanzawai Koshida: This is not a NZ species, but is found on importedplants. T. hydrangeae Pritchard and Baker is a junior synonym of T. kanzawai. This spe-cies is similar to T. urticae/T. cinnabarinus complex, but the knob of male aedeagus isrelatively large (about 4 µm compared with 2.5–2.6 µm in T. urticae/T. cinnabarinuscomplex) and its dorsal margin semi-circular in shape.

Glossary


c setae: The first row of setae on dorsal opisthosoma of a typical acariform mite. Three pairs(c1, c2 and c3) are usually present in spider mites (Fig. 1).

Claw: The lateral pair attached to the pretarsi of legs.d setae: The second row of setae on dorsal opisthosoma of a typical acariform mite. Two pairs

(d1 and d2) are usually present in spider mites (Fig. 1).Duplex setae: pair of setae found on tarsus I and II with joint bases; one of the pair is usually

very long (solenidion) and the other of the pair a small tactile seta. Empodium: The median structure attached to pretarsi of legs.e setae: The third row of setae on dorsal opisthosoma of a typical acariform mite. Two pairs (e1

and e2) are usually present in spider mites.Eupathidium : a hollow smooth seta found on leg and palp tarsi. Femur: The fourth segment of legs and palpi counting from the distal end.f setae: The fourth row of setae on dorsal opisthosoma of a typical acariform mite. Two pairs

(f1 and f2) are usually present (Fig. 1), but f2 is missing in Yezonychus and Tribolonychus.Genu: The third segment of legs and palpi counting from the distal end. Gnathosoma: Part of body anterior to idiosoma, bearing the palpi and chelicerae used in feed-

ing.h setae: The fifth row of setae on dorsal opisthosoma of a typical acariform mite. Two to three

pairs (h1-h3) are usually present (Fig. 1).Idiosoma: Main part of the body excluding the anterior Gnathosoma.Lobe: Projections of various shapes from integument striae.Opithosoma: Part of body posterior to prodorsum and podosoma.Prodorsum: The dorsum of the part of body bearing legs I and II.ps setae: The sixth row of setae on dorsal opisthosoma of a typical acariform mite. Two or three

pairs (ps1, ps2 and ps3) are usually present (Fig. 1).sc setae: The second row of setae on prodorsum of a typical acariform mite. Two pairs (sc1 and

sc2) are usually present (Fig. 1).Solenidion: A sensillary seta, often smooth and rod-like, on tarsus and tibia of legs I and II and

palptarsus.Spinneret: Enlarged eupathidium on distal palptarsus and used in spinning webbings by some

species of spider mites.Tenent hairs: Slender hairs arising from claws or empodium, thought to allow mites to hold on

leaf surface; their distal end often slightly enlarged in many species.Tarsus: The first segment of legs and palpi counting from the distal end.Tibia : The second segment of legs and palpi counting from the distal end.Trochanter: The fifth segment of legs and palpi counting from the distal end.v setae: The second row of setae on prodorsum of a typical acariform mite. Two pairs (v1 and

v2) are usually present (Fig. 1).
