3D7B6B60FFD5FFA9FDCAF95B20BCFB68.taxon	discussion	Remarks – Oligonychus tylus infestation and considerable loss in date palm nuts by shriveling and drying was observed in town of Elat (Gerson et al. 1983). The aedeagus of this species is similar to O. modestus (Banks) in having small distal enlargements. However, knob of aedeagus is without distinct anterior angulations in O. tylus. This is a new host record for O. tylus.	en	Poojar, Dyamanagouda, Ramakrishnan, Vishnupriya, Gowda, Channegowde Chinnamade (2021): Two new records of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) with new host plant from Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India.
