Tuzson (Caryophyllaceae); a Carpathian- Pannonian perennial herb endemic to Hungary. It is a characteristic, threatened and protected species of dry silicate rock vegetation, in Hungarian szilikát-sziklagyep.</p><p>Relation to the host plant. The mite was found in all developmental stages on the leaf sheaths, flowers, involucral bracts, calices, petals, young fruits and leaves. No damage was caused.</p><p>Type locality. <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=21.232224&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=48.345833" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long 21.232224/lat 48.345833)">Boldogkő</a> vára, Boldogkőváralja, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, North-East Hungary, 48°20'45" N, 21°13'56" E, 245 m above sea level.

The species is named after Albert Wass (1908-1998), one of the most widely-read Hungarian writers. He leaved in Transylvania, Hungary, Rumania (after the First World War) and in Germany and USA (after the Second World War). His historical novels are very popular in Hungary.</p><p>Differential diagnosis and remarks. Until now, no eriophyid mite species has been reported on the representatives of the genus Minuartia L. The new species described herein shows similarities with some European nominal Aceria species living on caryophyllaceous hosts: Aceria belarexi Ripka, 2016, Aceria cerastii (Nalepa, 1892), Aceria colocense Ripka, 2013, Aceria dianthi (Lindroth, 1904), Aceria feketeistvani Ripka, 2016, Aceria gypsophilae Roivainen, 1950, Aceria moehringiae (Lindroth, 1899) and Aceria silenes (Liro, 1940) (Nalepa 1892; Lindroth 1899; Lindroth 1904; Liro 1940; Roivainen 1950; Liro &amp; Roivainen 1951; Ripka 2013, 2016). Each of these species are compared below, and their collection data are summarised in Table 1.</p><p>Species Host species Habitat and alterations World distribution Aceria belarexi has distally rounded solenidia (knobbed in A. wassalberti n. sp.), narrowly separated coxae I and lacks the sternal apodeme (forked prosternal apodeme (5–10) in A. wassalberti n. sp.), setae e, setae 3a and setae h 2 18–28, 25–30 and 81–105 long, respectively (12–13, 16–20 and 65–77 in A. wassalberti n. sp., resp.).</p><p>Aceria cerastii has its prodorsal shield subtriangular (half circle in A. wassalberti n. sp.), an anteriorly rounded prodorsal shield without a frontal lobe (acuminate frontal lobe in A. wassalberti n. sp.), tarsus 1.5 times longer than tibia (length of tarsus same as tibia in Aceria wassalberti n. sp.) and empodium 4-rayed (Nalepa 1892) (5-rayed in A. wassalberti n. sp.).</p><p>Aceria colocense has its prodorsal shield subtriangular (half circle in A. wassalberti n. sp.), coxae with small granules (coxae with longitudinal lines and dashes in A. wassalberti n. sp.), genital coverflap with 11–13 uneven striae (13–14 in A. wassalberti n. sp.), and setae f 20–24 long (28–33 in A. wassalberti n. sp.).</p><p>Aceria dianthi has 14–16 striae on the genital coverflap (13–14 striae in A. wassalberti n. sp.), setae h2 45 long (65–77 in A. wassalberti n. sp.), 70–80 annuli (56–63 in A. wassalberti n. sp.), and setae 3a 9 long (16–20 in A. wassalberti n. sp.) (Lindroth 1904; Liro &amp; Roivainen 1951).</p><p>Aceria feketeistvani differs as follows: length of scapular setae sc 45–70 (22–30 in A. wassalberti n. sp.), genital coverflap with 9–12 striae (13–14 in A. wassalberti n. sp.), empodium 7-rayed (5-rayed in A. wassalberti n. sp.), solenidion distally rounded (knobbed in A. wassalberti n. sp.), opisthosoma with 73–87 annuli (56–63 in A. wassalberti n. sp.), and length of setae e 37–52 (12–13 in A. wassalberti n. sp.).</p><p>Aceria gypsophilae differs by having a short and unforked sternal line, setae 3a 30 long, and 10 striae on the genital coverflap (Roivainen 1950). In contrast, A. wassalberti n. sp. has a distinct and forked prosternal apodeme (5–10), considerably shorter setae 3a (16–20), and 13–14 striae on the genital coverflap.</p><p>Aceria moehringiae (Lindroth) has a 6-rayed empodium (5-rayed in A. wassalberti n. sp.) and 90 annuli (56– 63 in A. wassalberti n. sp.) (Lindroth 1899).</p><p>Aceria silenes (Liro) differs by the pattern of the prodorsal shield, which lacks lines in A. silenes (with lines in A. wassalberti n. sp.), and the width and thickness of the idiosoma 56–60 (67–71 in A. wassalberti n. sp.) (Liro 1940). Furthermore, setae c2 are 52–55 and setae d are 51–58, both being significantly longer than the scapular setae sc which are 23–30 in A. wassalberti n. sp. (both setae slightly longer than setae sc in A. silenes). The species are also separated on biological characteristics, as A. silenes causes bud deformation and shoot stunting on Silene rupestris (versus no damage caused by A. wassalberti n. sp.).</p><p>Finally, Aceria ankarensis Denizhan, Monfreda, Cobanoglu &amp; de Lillo was described from Dianthus chinensis L. in Turkey (Denizhan et al. 2006) and might be expected to be present on the same host plant in Hungary. The new species differs from A. ankarensis in having a distinct and forked prosternal apodeme (prosternal apodeme not well defined in A. ankarensis), the length of setae e, 12–13 (59–68 in A. ankarensis), length of setae f, 28–33 (42– 50 in A. ankarensis) and the length of setae 3a 16–20 (54–60 in A. ankarensis).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C5CA1A5E59CD4791839F00FBF8FC03	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
