Abstract

Four-legged mites of the family Phytoptidae (Acariformes, Eriophyoidea) are represented on eudicot plants by 31 species of two subfamilies: Phytoptinae (1 genus, 19 species) and Sierraphytoptinae (7 genera, 12 species). Most phytoptid species that are capable of inducing various growth abnormalities in plants (galls, erinea, bud growth, and other injuries) belong to the subfamily Phytoptinae. Analysis of the quantitative traits has shown that no groups of phytoptid species associated with eudicots can be outlined based on the currently available morphometric characters. The correlation between the prodorsal shield ornamentation, the presence of the tibial solenidion, and the geographic distribution of phytoptid mites is analyzed, and groups of phytoptine species with similar prodorsum topography are discussed. Analysis of host associations of phytoptids from eudicots has revealed no cophylogenetic patterns; many hosts of phytoptids are narrow-range endemics and relicts. It is supposed that phytoptids originated in the tropics or in the Southern Hemisphere. The current classification of phytoptids into subfamilies is probably artificial; it does not reflect the phylogeny of this group and needs a revision based on molecular phylogenetic data.

疫霉科四足螨（M形纲，线虫纲）对双子叶植物的适应性辐射：宿主-寄生虫的关系和诱导胆囊形成的能力。

摘要

真蝇科的四足螨在两个昆虫亚科中有31种，在真双子叶植物上：疫霉科（1属，19种）和塞拉虫科（7属，12种）。能够在植物中引起各种生长异常（盖尔，毛nea，芽生长和其他伤害）的大多数植物提纯物种都属于疫霉亚科。对定量性状的分析表明，基于当前可用的形态计量特征，无法概述与双子叶植物相关的最佳植物种类。分析了前臂盾构装饰，胫骨节鞘的存在与植物黄体螨的地理分布之间的相关性，并讨论了具有相似前体地形的植物雌激素种类。分析来自双子叶植物的植鞣opti的宿主关联，未发现任何亲缘关系。phytoptids的许多寄主是狭窄的地方病和遗物。据推测，phytoptids起源于热带或南半球。目前对植物黄opti的亚科分类可能是人为的。它不能反映该人群的系统发育，需要根据分子系统发育数据进行修订。
