Two new spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) from Brazil: a Monoceronychus McGregor (Bryobiinae) from fingergrass and an Oligonychus Berlese (Tetranychinae) from grape

ABSTRACT Two new Tetranychidae (Prostigmata) mites are described from Brazil – Monoceronychus tchecensis n. sp., a bryobiine collected from weeping fingergrass, Eustachys distichophylla (Lag.) Nees (Poaceae), in the State of Rio Grande do Sul; and Oligonychus fileno n. sp., a tetranychine collected from grape, Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae), in the State of Minas Gerais. Monoceronychus tchecensis n. sp. is the second species in this genus described from South America. In addition to the description of these new species, the tetranychine Eotetranychus smithi Pritchard and Baker, 1955 was recorded for the first time for South America.
