Abstract/Contents:Observations on Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) showed that the Eriophyid mite Abacarus hystrix (Nal.) usually fed on the bulliform epidermal cells at the base of the grooves on the adaxial leaf surface. Scanning electron micrographs are provided to illustrate the external morphology of the mouthparts of the mites, how, prior to feeding, they remove cuticular leaf wax with their rostra and the feeding punctures in the epidermal cells made by the styliform chelicerae. Of 11 species of graminaceous plants tested, A. hystrix settled only on Festuca pratensis, L. perenne and L. multiflorum. On L. multiflorum, the mites preferred the youngest leaves; on mature leaves they preferred the youngest part.
