Extract

The following five undescribed species of mites were collected on citrus trees in the provinces of Assam and Mysore in India by Dr. C. A. Fleschner of the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, California. These mites are of the suborder Mesostigmata and are probably predacious. They may be introduced to California in attempts to control phytophagous mites on citrus and, therefore, may be recorded from this state in the future. I am grateful to Dr. Fleschner for the opportunity to examine this material.
