Yezonychus brevipilus Zhang & Martin, 2001: 317

Remarks. Adult female with insertion of dorsal posterior opisthosomal setae h2 level with insertion of setae h1. Immatures are not mentioned in the description by Zhang and Martin (2001). This species lives on the upper and lower surface of the leaves of its host plant, Leionema nudum (Rutaceae) , spinning thick webbing at the base of the leaf between the midrib and the edge of the leaf, or over natural depressions in the leaf surface (see Zhang & Martin 2001: 320 for further details). The mites are similar in appearance to N. cornus ( Zhang & Martin 2001) . All material deposited in NZAC (holotype male ZQZ990115-1b).
