Sierraphytoptines missing φ I, opisthosoma with two longitudinal ridges and concave furrow between them, rear prodorsal shield margin distinct, tubercles of sc situated in deep indentation of posterior edge of prodorsal shield, setae sc directed posterolaterad, tarsal solenidia ω I and II with spherical knob.

C86FDE37FFB64D4B5EBBF9A8FBEDFF0A.taxon	distribution	Distribution and hosts. The mites are vagrant on the lower surface of leaves (often settling along the veins and on the midrib) of Alnus spp. (Fagales: Betilaceae). They were recorded from North America (USA and Canada) on Alnus incana (L.) Moench. subsp. tenuifolia (Nutt.), Alnus rubra Bongard, Alnus incana subsp. rugosa (Du Roi), Alnus viridis subsp. sinuata (Regel) and in Europe (Bosnia and Serbia) on A. glutinosa (L.).	en	Chetverikov, Philipp E.

C86FDE37FFB64D4B5EBBF9A8FBEDFF0A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species Sierraphytoptus taiwanensus Huang 2006 from Trochodendron aralioides was removed from the genus because it does not fit the diagnosis of Sierraphytoptus and is provisionally placed in the genus Austracus Keifer, 1944 (for details see Chetverikov & Sukhareva 2009, p. 32).	en	Chetverikov, Philipp E.

C86FDE37FFB44D4A5EBBFEB5FC1BFEB2.taxon	materials_examined	Type species. Fragariocoptes setiger (Nalepa, 1894) 1 (Fig. 3).	en	Chetverikov, Philipp E. (2016): Generic delimitation between Fragariocoptes and Sierraphytoptus (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Phytoptidae) and a supplementary description of Fragariocoptes gansuensis with remarks on searching for mummified eriophyoid mites in herbaria under UV light.

C86FDE37FFB44D4A5EBBFEB5FC1BFEB2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Sierraphytoptines missing φ I; opisthosoma fusiform, without ridges and furrows, rear prodorsal shield margin indistinct, tubercles of sc situated almost in middle of prodorsal shield, setae sc directed up or anteromedially, tarsal solenidia ω I and II without knob. 1. In March 2014, an attempt was made to recollect F. setiger from the type locality given by A. Nalepa (1894, p. 313) between Wiener-Neustadt and Katzelsdorf, Austria. No specimens were found, most likely because the type area where this species was first collected has been drastically altered with no infested plants surviving. Species included. Fragariocoptes ambulans Chetverikov and Sukhareva, 2009; F. gansuensis Wei, Chen and Luo, 2005; F. setiger (Nalepa, 1894).	en	Chetverikov, Philipp E.

C86FDE37FFB44D4A5EBBFEB5FC1BFEB2.taxon	distribution	Distribution and hosts. Mites of this genus have been so far recorded from Europe and China. They live on rosaceous plants of the genera Fragaria L. and Potentilla L. Fragariocoptes ambulans is vagrant while F. setiger causes leaf galls and F. gansuensis is associated with stem proliferation.	en	Chetverikov, Philipp E.
