Abstract
During 1961-62 while studying plant feeding mites at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., the opportunity arose to examine a series of mites of the families Tetranychidae and Tenuipalpidae which were collected in south east Asia by C. A. FLESCHNER of the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, California. These were collected on citrus in India, Burma, Nepal, Thailand and Hong Kong, the areas visited being shown on the map in fig. r. Sixteen species were collected of which three are new and two possibly new. Descriptions of these are included. Very little is known of the mites of this area, and distribution and host records are given for all species, new locality records occurring in many cases.
