Five new Glossilus mites from China (Acari: Eriophyoidea).

Five new Glossilus species of eriophyoid mites from China are described and illustrated. They are Glossilus lanceolatussp. nov. on Cunninghamia lanceolata (Cupressaceae), Glossilus hodginsussp. nov. on Chamaecyparis hodginsii (Cupressaceae), Glossilus obtusussp. nov. on Chamaecyparis obtusa (Cupressaceae), Glossilus procumbenussp. nov. on Juniperus procumbens (Cupressaceae), and Glossilus funebrussp. nov. on Cupressus funebris (Cupressaceae). We provided two new combinations—Glossilus convergens (Keifer, 1966), comb. nov. and Glossilus juniperensis (Xue & Yin, 2020), comb. nov. We further provided mitochondrial cox1 gene sequences for five new species. All new eriophyoid mite species are vagrants, causing no apparent symptom to their host plants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
