03A4DA7CFFA1F76AFF5FDD10FB6F8846.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name is derived from the name of the geographic region in which the host plant was found. Host plant. Echinops ritro L. subspec. ruthenicus (M. Bieb.) Nyman (Asteraceae). Relation to the host. The mites are vagrants on the lower leaf surfaces. No visible damage was observed. Differential diagnosis and remarks. Aceria banatica n. sp. is close to Aceria echinopsi Boczek and Nuzzaci 1988, but it can be distinguished by the following meristic and qualitative characters: Number of rays on the tarsal empodium (A. echinopsi = 6; A. banatica = 5); number of striae on the female genital coverflap (A. echinopsi has 18 to 20; A. banatica has 10 to 11); prodorsal shield design (A. echinopsi has three pairs of submedian lines, while A. banatica has two pairs of submedian lines). Aceria banatica is generally smaller, with shorter setae. Differing morphometric characters between A. echinopsi and the new species are presented in Table 1. Besides these characters, both species have different life-styles: A. echinopsi forms sub-spherical galls with cells inside along the margins of leaves, whereas A. banatica is a vagrant on the lower leaf surface. The apparent common feature of both eriophyoid species is the presence of thornlike microtubercles on the dorsal and ventral annuli.	en	Vidović, Biljana (2011): A new Aceria species (Acari: Eriophyoidea) on Echinops ritro L. subsp. ruthenicus (M.

03A4DA7CFFA5F766FF5FD8D9FBE38DBA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. A comparison of A. brevicincta from Serbia with the original description by Nalepa (1898, 1900), is difficult because only 4 meristic and 2 morphometric characters of the female were presented. Females of A. brevicincta from Serbia are shorter and slightly wider than those from Austria. They also have 6 - rayed empodia (5 - rayed in the Austrian population), with sc setae that are twice as long. The female coverflap is not as wide and the annuli are slightly less numerous. There is a more detailed description of A. brevicincta from Hungary by Farkas (1965, 1966). Females of A. brevicincta from Serbia are significantly smaller than specimens from Hungary. They also have a shorter prodorsal shield and the distance between the sc tubercles is less along with having shorter sc setae. The empodia in the population from Serbia are 6 - rayed (5 - rayed in the Hungarian population), with shorter legs and a narrower female coverflap. The annuli are also slightly fewer (Table 2).	en	Vidović, Biljana (2011): A new Aceria species (Acari: Eriophyoidea) on Echinops ritro L. subsp. ruthenicus (M. Bieb.)
