簡介:"Body spindle shaped, female 181μm long, male 147μm long, shield design with median line and admedian lines complete, subparallel, with a transverse line at basal 1/5, arrowline(some specimens without median line, some specimens without the transverse line between admedian lines, some specimens with many short longitudinal lines between admedian lines), scapular tubercles set near rear shield margin, setae directed to rear, setae divided into long type and short type, leg segments normal, coxal area and femur with transverse lines, empodium simple, 7 rayed. Opisthosoma dorsum with median ridge shorter than submedian ridges, opisthosoma seta normal, coverflap with about 10 longitudinal ridges. Infesting on Phyllostachys nigra and Yushania niitakayamensis, no apparent damage was observed. Distribution on Taiwan, Thailand, India and China. Due to the variation in the shield design and the difference localities, this species was identified as Tegolophus bambusae Channabasavanna, 1966 and Abacarus panticis Keifer, 1977 . The author thinks the variation of shield design may be due to the slide preparation or to the physiological conditions of the eriophyoid itself.體呈紡棰形,雌性體長約181μm, 雄性體長約147μm,硬皮板網紋具有中線及臨中線完整,二者近似平行,在基部1/5有一似箭狀橫線相接(有些標本中線缺乏,有些標本中線及臨中線間無橫線相接,有些標本中線缺乏,在臨中線間有許多短縱線),背毛瘤靠近硬皮板後沿,背毛向後,背毛長度分長型及短型二類,足部節正常,足毛正常,基部區域及腿節具有橫紋,羽爪為單形,具七裂,後體部背板有三脊起,中脊短於二側脊,腹毛完整,性蓋具有十條左右的縱脊,棲息於烏葉竹(Phyllostachys nigra)及玉山矢竹(Yushania niitakayamensis)葉背上,無明顯為害症狀上,分佈於全臺灣全島、泰國、印度及中國。本種因網紋及採集點不同而被分別鑑定為Tegolophus bambusae Channabasavanna, 1966及 Abacarus panticis Keifer, 1977,但實際上由同一批標本即可發現本種同時具有上述的變異,這可能是因玻片標本製作過程或生理狀態不同而造成。"
