Phylogenetic position of a new Trisetacus mite species (Nalepellidae) destroying seeds of North American junipers and new hypotheses on basal divergence of Eriophyoidea
“
A new oligophagous species, T. indelis n. sp., was discovered severely damaging seeds of North American junipers ... Mites penetrate immature female cones, feed on seed endopsperm, and cause seed deformation; infested seeds may protrude from the cones up to 1–2 mm ... This species inhabits seeds of three partially sympatric species of Juniperus (J. californica, J. occidentalis, and J. osteosperma) growing in mountainous areas of the western USA
