A Mite, Eriophyes Aloinis (Keifer)

Introduction

Keifer (1941) described Eriophyes aloinis from Aloe spinossissima in North Hollywood, California. He reported that this species was very similar to Eriophyes tulipae (Keifer), but differed in having 1 less ray on the featherclaws, being purplish streaked when full grown, and in details of the submedian shield lines.
