| abstract | The only species of Bryobiinae so far known in Chile was the brown mite, Bryobia rubrioculus (Scheuten), a pest of deciduous fruit trees. In the present study the following species are reported: B. kissophila van Eyndhoven, B. cristata (Duges), B. repensi Manson, B. magallanica n. sp., B. nothofagi n. sp., B. fuegina n. sp., Petrobia latens (Müller), Anaplonobia algarrobicola n. sp. and Hystrichonychus atacamensis n. sp. The three new species of Bryobia were found to occur in the southernmost part of Chile, whilst A. algarrobicola and H. atacamensis are described from the desert area in the north. |
