Plant mites of the Dominican Republic, with a description of a new species of Petrobia (Tetranychina) Waisnstein, 1960 (Acari, Prostigmata, Tetranychidae) and a key to the species of this subgenus. Zootaxa, 3846: 547-560.

Abstract
Fourteen mite species of plant-associated mites of the suborder Prostigmata are reported from the Dominican Republic. Four of these refer to new findings for the country, including Petrobia (Tetranychina) hispaniola n. sp. Sánchez, Flechtmann, described from specimens collected from leaves of Citrus sp. (Rutaceae) and Rosa sp. (Rosaceae). A key for the separation of the world species of Petrobia (Tetranychina) is presented.
