Applied Entomology and Zoology 36 (2), 251-257
Abstract: Three species of tetranychoid mites living on imported plants were recently intercepted at the plant quarantine of Narita Airport. They were identified as follows: Oligonychus obliquus sp. nov., off squash from Mexico; Tetranychus malaysiensis Ehara, off okra from Thailand; Tenuipalpus caudatus (Duges), off Viburnum from Italy. A description of O. obliquus sp. nov and redescriptions of the other species, are given. T. malaysiensis is recorded from Thailand for the first time.
