Brevipalpus lewisi ( McGregor, 1949) View in CoL

Brevipalpus lewisi ( McGregor, 1949) View in CoL was present in high population densities on Chinese false privet ( Fontanesia phillyraeoides Labill. ssp. fortunei (Carr.) Yalt. View in CoL ) – an oleaceous ornamental shrub, in city parks (of Budapest, district I: Krisztinaváros, and district XIV: Zugló, Hungary). Adults, larvae and nymphs were collected from the upper and lower sides of the leaves, petioles, shoots and fruits of the shrub. The marginal part of the idiosoma is ochre, while the median part is orange red and brownish. This mite species was also collected on the shoots, twigs and from the underside of leaves of Rosmarinus View in CoL o ffi cinalis Linnaeus. Bozai (1971) reported it on grapevines ( Vitis vinifera View in CoL L.) in Hungary.
