Eriophyes paramackiei
Hosts: Quercus agrifolia
A closely related species of E mackiei, Eriophyes paramackiei Keifer, also infests California live oak and causes a broom effect of densely clustered, stunted twigs on one side of the stem. The twiggy branches are stubby, with short, somewhat thickened branchlets, each crowded with numerous buds that contain mites. The tree infested with E. paramackiei shows the broom growths at the lower level of the tree, whereas the upper section does not look thrifty.
