First discovery of Tetranychus truncatus in Africa and new records of spider mites (Prostigmata, Tetranychidae) in Burkina Faso
ACAROLOGIA(2023)
Abstract
We report the first occurrence in Africa, in Burkina Faso, of an exotic spider mite, Tetranychus truncatus, including new host records. Due to morphological variation in the specimens we observed, we used molecular and morphological approaches to obtain a reliable identification of this alien species. Sampling events also disclosed two new spider mite records for Burkina Faso, Eutetranychus orientalis and Tetranychus urticae and several new host plant records.
