Extract

The generic characters of the Tetranychidae lie in the tarsal appendages, particularly the claw. The palpi and shape of the male sexual organ are used mainly for the determination of species. These specific characters are depicted in profile; thus, in order to observe them the mite must be mounted and flattened dorso-ventrally. This entails a considerable amount of manipulation, and a high magnification is necessary in order to obtain definition of the minute details.
