Abstract
An annotated list and key to the 26 species of phytophagous false spider mites (Trombidiformes:
Tenuipalpidae) known from Israel is provided. About two thirds are exotics,
having invaded Israel within the last 35 years. Eight species, namely Brevipalpus californicus,
B. lewisi, B. obovatus, B. phoenicis, B. yothersi, Raoiella indica, Tenuipalpus
granati and T. punicae are agricultural pests. The others have little economic impact, or
are possibly controlled by natural enemies. A key to all the species is given
