Shentu; ex Zizania latifolia (Griseb.), Poaceae (deposited TARI). Paratypes eleven females (7 deposited TARI (AZ02–08); 3 deposited NMNS (AZ09-11)), five males (3 deposited TARI (AZ12-15); 2 deposited NMNS (AZ16-17)), data same as for holotype; seven females, three males (deposited TARI (AZ18-27)), Yilan co: Jiaoxi (N 24°49.454' E 121°46.513', 26 m a.s.l.), XI-22-2019, H. Shentu. Host association. Mites were observed on grooves between veins of water bamboo, Zizania latifolia, leaves, causing leaf curling (Fig. 4). DNA sequence. The COI gene fragment amplified using the AF1/AR2 primer pair from A. latifolia collected from Nantou was 642 bases. It shared 100% sequence identity with samples collected from Yilan, represented an AT content of 66.4%. Sequence data were deposited in the GenBank database (accession number: MW 394361). In addition, two ITS1 fragments of 461 and 466 bases in length were amplified using the ITS5/AR1 primer pair, shared 98.1% sequence identity, and represented an AT content of 50.4 and 50.5 %. Specimens collected from Yilan or Puli were either 461 bp or 466 bp in size according to the results of PCR amplification of ITS fragments. We suspect that this phenomenon is due to individual differences within species. These two sequences are deposited in the GenBank database under the accession numbers MW 396824 and MW 396825. Differential diagnosis. The new species was compared with all known species of the genus Acaralox. Members of the new species are similar to those of A. marinae Li et al., 2009 and A. shiraziensis Kamali et al., 2018. The new species differs from A. marinae by having the prodorsal shield bearing a median line from basal ¼ to ½, admedian lines from basal ¼ to apex, with granular and dashed lines laterally, submedian lines absent, and empodium simple and 8 rayed (in A. marinae, the prodorsal shield median line is incomplete, discontinuous, absent in basal and anterior 1/5, and bearing many short lines laterally, submedian lines present, and empodium 5 rayed). The new species differs from A. shiraziensis in possessing a prodorsal shield that bears a median line from basal ¼ to ½, and with transverse lines at basal ¼ and ½ between the median line and admedian lines (in A. shiraziensis, median line absent, admedian lines on posterior ⅓, submedial lines complete).

In Fushan and Hueysuen, Calepitrimerus heliciopsus Chandrapatya et Boczek, 2000 was associated with Cosella fleshneri (Keifer, 1959) on the same host plant (in a previous study, Co. fleshneri was misidentified as a new species, i.e., Co. formosana Huang et Wang, 2003). At Yangmingshan, the eriophyoid mites that occur on Helicia formosana are C. fleshneri and Taicolopodacus primus sp. nov., which were collected on different dates and different trees. PLATE 2.
