Aceria aceris

Eriophyes aceris

Hosts: Acer saccharinum

Relationship: The mites causes greenish to reddish erinea on lower leaf surfaces.

Notes: Probably occurs on silver maple throughout eastern North America.

Suggest Aceria hodgkissiae for this erineum mite. This distinctive mite species needs a new name; it is a junior homonym of Aceria aceris (Murray, 1877), which is a valid mite species in Europe causing elongate, red carmine galls, filled with hairs, with a large open aperture on the leaf underside, with leaf-hairs protruding; it occurs on Acer pseudoplantanus, the Planetree Maple, in Europe

Range: NY, MA, VT, WV, WI
