Cenopalpus lineola (Canestrini & Fanzago, 1876) View in CoL

Twenty-one females of this species were collected: one female on J. oxycedrus , one on Pinus halepensis Mill. , three on Centauria calcitrapa L., six on Cedrus libani (A.Rich.) , six on Primula vulgaris Huds. , and four on Lamium striatum Sibth. & Sm., Slanfeh (35°60′70″ N,

36°22′17″ E), Latakia governorate, Syria, 20 April 2021. This is the first record of this species from Syria. It has been mainly collected on Pinaceae and particularly found in Europe and Asia ( Castro et al., 2021). The collecting of C. lineola on unusual host plants in this study (e.g. C. calcitrapa ) could be due to the growing of these plants under several tree species belonging to Pinaceae or other families, which constitute a possible source of this mite in particular at the beginning of spring when the samples were taken.
