World catalogue of the spider mite family (Acari: Tetranychidae). Leiden, Brill Academic Publishers: 392 pp.

Abstract
The catalogue contains a key to the spider mite genera of the world followed by a list of 1,189 species of Tetranychidae known to the authors at the end of December 1996, with 1,227 references. Specifie designations, species names, host plants and locations are provided in a1phabetical indexes. Host plants are also presented classified by family. In the light of the key to the genera presented, 84 new combinations are proposed for the names of 9 Aplonobia, 2 Beerella, 1 Bryobia, 6 Eotetranychus, 14 Mixonychus, 2 Neopetrobia, 5 Oltgonychus, 2 Panonychus, 24 Paraplonobia, 1 Paraponychus, 9 Petrobia, 5 Pseudobryobia, 1 Schizotetranychus and 3 Sinotetranychus. Four species names are restored: Aplonobia anisa Pritchard & Baker, 1955; Eotetranychus cactorum Baker & Pritchard, 1960; Panonychus akitanus Ehara, 1978 and Schizotetranychus reticulatus Baker & Pritchard, 1960. Oligonychus chamaecyparisae Ma & Yuan, 1976 is regarded as a synonym of Oligonychus perditus Pritchard & Baker, 1955, because no morphoIogical differences were found between these two taxa. For the same reason, Tetranychus manihotis FIechtmann, 1981 is regarded as a synonym of Tetranychus piercei McGregor. 1950. Two new names are proposed for two species whose names were preoccupied by homonyms: Pseudobryobia neoephedrae Gutierrez & Bolland for Bryobia ephedrae Strunkova & Mitrofanov, 1983, junior homonym of Bryobia ephedrae Tuttle & Baker, 1968. which was also considered as a Pseudobryobia by Baker & Tuttle (1972); Eotetranychus neodeleoni Gutierrez & Bolland for Eotetranychus deleoni Tuttle et al., 1976, junior homonym of Eotetranychus deleoni Baker & Pritchard, 1962. Tetranychus eharal Zaher et al., 1982 whose name was preoccupied by Tetranychus eharai Tutt1e et al.. 1976, was not considered as a va1id species because only females were described; this is inadequate in the genus Tetranychus.
