Three new species Nothopoda Keifer (Acari, Nothopodinae) from Guangxi, China.

In this paper, three new species of eriophyoid mites belonging to the subfamily Nothopodinae from Guangxi are described and illustrated. They are Nothopoda maesae sp. nov. collected on Maesa perlaria (Lour.) Merr. (Myrsinaceae), Nothopoda camelliae sp. nov. collected on Camellia oleifera Abel (Theaceae), and Nothopoda nepalense sp. nov. collected on Alnus nepalensis D. Don (Betulaceae). All the species are vagrants on the lower leaf surface, causing no apparent damage to their host plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
