Anthocoptes rubicolens Roivainen, 1953
( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 & 3 View FIGURE 3 )
Type host and locality. Rubus sp., Spain.
Distribution. England (recorded here), Poland (from R. laciniatus Willd ) (Shi, 2000), Latvia (from Rubus sp.) ( Rupais, 1976) and Spain ( Roivainen, 1953).
Relation to the host. Vagrant, recorded as causing discoloration to the foliage (Shi, 2000).
Collection data. England, Kent, Tonbridge, commercial plant nursery site, low numbers of adult females, males and nymphs on R. fruticosus , 12.xi.2009. No host plant damage symptoms were observed.
Remarks. This is the first record of this species from plant material growing in Britain. Following Amrine et al. (2003), two forms of A. rubicolens were found in this population, a mature female with expanded dorsal annuli ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ) and a teneral female without expanded dorsal annuli ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ). The biological meaning of these two forms remains to be established.
