Remarks

Systematics: Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae cylindrical, apices truncate posteriorly, acute or slightly rounded on thorax and head, marginal setae conspicuously larger than other setae on dorsum, 4 or 5 lateral setae on margin of each abdominal segment; ventral multilocular pores primarily with 7 loculi; microtubular ducts short, with 2 sclerotized areas (Williams, 1985h).Slide-mounted adult female with: enlarged setae conical, apices acute or slightly rounded, marginal setae conspicuously larger than other dorsal setae with 4 or 5 setae on lateral margin of each abdominal segment (Goux, 1991).
Structure: Adult females are dark red, elongate-oval. Ovisac is tough, yellowish-white; produced on leaves of host (Miller & Miller, 1992).
Biology: A common steppe inhabiting mesophilous species. Adults have been observed in June. First instars appeared during the first part of June. Adult females present again in August and September. Based on this information, there seem to be two generations per year, at least in central Europe. Males known in United States (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988). Schmutterer (1952) observed one yearly generation and eggs overwintering.
Economic Importance: This species damages timothy grass in the northwestern United States (Kosztarab & Kozár, 1988).
General Remarks: Miller & Miller (1992) provide a detailed illustration and description as does Willilams (1985h).Detailed description and illustration by Goux (1991).
