A Taxonomic investigation was carried out on the following seven spider mites (Family tetranychidae) by comparison of morphological characters, cuticular lobes and karyotypes. Materials used in this study were collected and reared at Jeonju, Jorea during October 1985-June 1986. Subfamily Bryobiinae ; Bryobia praetiosa Koch, 1836 ; Petrobia latens (Mller, 1776). Subfamily Tetranychinae ; Panonychus citri (McGregor , 1919) ; P.ulmi (Koch, 1836): T vienensis tranychus Zacher , 1920 ; T.urticae (Koch, 1836) ; T. kanzawai Kishida , 1927. Of them two species, P. latens and T. kanzawai , are newly recorded from Korea.

A new species of the genus Oligonychus Berlese, 1886, Oligonychus solus n. sp. is described with its diagnostic characteristics and figures from Korea. This new species resembles closely to Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi, 1905), but is easily distinguished by the transverse striae anterior to genital flap.

The purpose of the present paper is to record taxonomic notes on several Korean spider mites. The specimens on which this study is based were collected by the authors during the period from May, 1986 to June, 1987. The following species are the spider mites concerned in this paper. 1. Panonychus citri (McGregor), 2. Eotetranychus populi Koch, 3. Eotetranychus smithi Pritchard and Baker, 4. Shizotetranychus bambusae Reck, 5. Schizotetranychus celarius (Banks), 6. Shizotetranychus leguminosus Ehara, 7. Oligonychus orthis Rimando, 8. Tetranychus ranzawai Kishida, 9. Tetranychus phaselus Ehara, 10. Tetranychus trancatus Ehara , 11. Tetranychus vienensis Zacher, 12. Tetranychus urticae Koch . Among them, eight species with asterisk are newly recorded from Korea . In addition, empodiums of pretarsus were carefully observed and enzyme patterns by electrophoresis were compared on some species in order induce their systematic inter-relationship at either species or generic level.

Economic injury levels (EILs) and economic threshold (ET) were estimated for the two spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari, Tetranychidae) on greenhouse eggplants. T. urticae density increased until the mid-July and thereafter decreased in all plots where initial density of the mite were different each 0, 2, 5, 10 and 20 adults per plant was innoculated on June 7. Growth variables of were not different among experimental plots but fruit weights were lower in plots with higher initial mite density than in plots with lower initial mite density. Total number of fruits and the number of marketable fruits decreased in plots with higher initial mite density. The rates of yield loss increased with increasing initial mite density, resulting in 0, 3.9, 11.3, 14.5, 22.8% reduction in each of the above plots, respectively. The relationship between initial T. urticae densities and yield losses was well described by a linear regression, Y = 1.085X + 2.474, $R^2$ = 0.9659. Based on the relationship, the number of adults per plant which can cause 5% loss of yield was estimated to be approximately 1.8.

Except for a cosmopolitan and major pest of apples, Tetranychus urticae Koch, Tetranychus mites in Korea such as T. viennensis Zaher, T. kanzawai Kishida, and T. truncams Ehara have been considered as quarantine pests by Canada and United States. Even though these mites are not feeders on apples, they are suspected to attach accidentally on apple h i t s in autumn as females enter the diapause. The characters used to identify Tetranychus mites have been confined to the shape of aedeagus in adult male. To develope a fast and accurate alternative identification protocol applied to hibernating female mites on apples, their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were examined to find out any polymorphisms to discriminate each species from the other ones. Three pairs of primers for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to amplify cytochrome oxidase subunit I (CO-I) coding region in mitochondrial DNA5 of four species of Tetranycus mites. The longest amplified product was estimated its size as about 680 bp. Digestion with restriction enzymes, AluI, Ddel, and Sau3A, showed length polymorphisms, which will he useful as diagnostic markers to identify Tetranychus mites. Schematic restriction maps in amplified region were shown for each species.
