New mites records of the superfamily Tetranychoidea (Acari: Trombidiformes) in the territory of the Zakarpattia Region

The research has revealed 10 species of tetranychid mites found in anthropogenic and natural habitats of Zakarpattia.It provides information on the number of species, host plants, locations of findings with geographical coordinates for each species, as well as data on their distribution in the world and in different regions of Ukraine. The information on the list of species of flat mites and their locations in Zakarpattia was extended. Thus, for the first time within the studied region, 5 species of flat mites were found, namely Aegyptobia beglarovi (Livschitz, Mitrofanov, 1967), Aegyptobia exarata (Livschitz, Mitrofanov, 1967), Brevipalpus lewisi (McGregor, 1949), Pentamerismus oregonensis (McGregor, 1949), Pentamerismus taxi (Haller, 1877). Results of our study complement the already known information on the species composition and distribution of spider mites within Zakarpattia, and will serve as a basis for further study of flat mites of the region.
