At least 20% of all arthropods and some nematode species are infected with intracellular bacteria of the genus Wolbachia. This highly diverse genus has been subdivided into eight "supergroups" (A to H) on the basis of nucleotide sequence data. Here, we report the discovery of a new Wolbachia supergroup recovered from the spider mite species Bryobia species V (Acari: Tetranychidae), based on the...

Data on the diversity, distribution, and main hosts of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) are scarce in Iberian Peninsula, particularly for Portugal, where only 21 species recorded mainland Azores Madeira archipelagos. Moreover, scientific information is mainly available national publications, difficult to access international researchers. In this paper, we review literature dealing with Portu...
