Abstract
ABSTRACT The tomato red spider mite Tetranychus evansi was detected for the first time in New Zealand in May 2020. There is an urgent need for rapid and accurate diagnostic tools on this species. In order to meet this demand, we developed methods for identification of T. evansi in the field and laboratory based on damage symptoms, morphological characters and DNA sequences. To distinguish T. evansi from the previously recorded species a key to all species of Tetranychus in New Zealand is provided. DNA barcoding employing the mitochondrial COI gene enabled us to differentiate T. evansi from closely related species.
期刊介绍：
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
