Resumo
Abnormal leaf growth, including stunted leaves, outward curling, leaf yellowing, and diminishing overall tree vigor of Pouteria sapota [(Jacq.) H.E. Moore et Stearn] (Sapotaceae) was observed in multiple locations in Southern Florida and one location in Brazil. In search for possible causal agents of these damages, a new mite species of the family Eriophyidae was found persistently infesting closed leaf buds of P. sapota. It was morphologically described and named Eriophyes pouteriae sp. nov.; DNA sequences of usual regions were also obtained. This is the first eriophyoid mite associated with P. sapota.
