Eriophyes exilis

Phytoptus exilis
Eriophyes tiliae exilis
Aceria exilis

Hosts: Tilia platyphyllos subsp. cordifolia, cordata, platyphyllos, americana, americana var. heterophylla, japonica, petiolaris, tomentosa, zamoyskiana

Note: Eriophyes exilis is a valid species producing vein angle galls on the underside of the leaves of Tilia platyphylos Scop.; it does not cause erineum on several species of Tilia as published by Soika & Kozak, 2013; their erineum mite, labeled Eriophyes exilis (Nalepa, 1892), is Eriophyes leiosoma (Nalepa, 1892).
