The new species is the second species of the genus Epitrimerus found on Potentilla plants, besides the E. jaceae Liro, 1943 which infecting P. erecta and P. reptans (Davis et al., 1982). But the new species can be easily differed from the latter by the prodorsal shield with median line present (vs. absent in E. jaceae), tarsal empodium 6 - rayed (vs. 4 - rayed in E. jaceae). The new species is similar to E. spiraeae Kuang, 1995 by having tarsal empodium 6 - rayed and similar host plant in Rosaceae, but can be differed from the latter by the prodorsal shield with median line present (vs. absent in E. spiraeae), opisthosoma with dorsal semi-annulus broader than ventral semi-annulus (vs. subequal in E. spiraeae).	en	Xie, Manchao, Chen, Zhenning (2022): Two new species of eriophyoid mites (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from Qilian Mountain National Park, China.
