Extract

Descriptions are given of the immature and adult stages of Tenuipalpus ghanii sp. n., and the characters distinguishing this species from T. punicae Pritchard & Baker and T. granati Sayed are listed. In West Pakistan the preferred host-plant is Pyrus communis. T. ghanii overwinters in the adult stage; it reproduces parthenogenetically and populations of all stages reach their peak in June or July. Of the four predators recorded, Exothorhis sp. (Eupalopsellidae) was the most abundant but was restricted to Pyrus communis.
