Abstract
Currently preminent slides of the tetranychid mite collected from mandarin orange Citrus mandurensis Lour at Wady El Mollak village El-Sharkia Governorate were prepared. Microscopical examination pointed out that mite belongs to the genus Eotetranychus Oudemons , tribe Tetranychini , subfamily Tetranychinae of the family Tetranychidae. Herein the mite was drawn and identified. According to the terminology of this genus, the mite has the caudal pair of para-anals (the post anal setae) present together with having the empodium consisting of three pairs of hairs, the peritreme is strong hocked distally . The dorsal striae of the female as well as male transverse between the third pair of dorsocentral hysterosomsals and the sacrals . The dorsal setae are exceeding the distance between their bases . Genital flap with transverse striae anterior the genital opening. Revision of the literature , it was clear that the mite morphological of the mite characters seemed to be new to the science and belonging to a new group of the genus Eotetranychus Oudemans .
