The economic importance of Eriophyoidea as pests, quarantine organisms, weed control agents, virus vectors, gall‐making mites, and the literature produced on them after the book edited by Lindquist et al. (1996) suggest the need to focus consideration on the current Eiophyoid Mites knowledge. We are going to introduce very briefly the most recent achievements on these phytophagous mites, pointing out their relevant aspects and giving reasons of the thematic lectures planned on the Eriophyoidea session. This meeting might provide a chance of comparison among researchers involved on investigations about gall‐making and vagrant eriophyoid mites throughout the world and aiming the promotion of a future scientific progress on specific and required topics, and a larger international cooperation among researchers with complementary competence and expertise.

Abstract
The economic importance of Eriophyoidea as pests, quarantine organisms, weed control agents, virus vectors, gall‐making mites, and the literature produced on them after the book edited by Lindquist et al. (1996) suggest the need to focus consideration on the current Eiophyoid Mites knowledge. We are going to introduce very briefly the most recent achievements on these phytophagous mites, pointing out their relevant aspects and giving reasons of the thematic lectures planned on the Eriophyoidea session. This meeting might provide a chance of comparison among researchers involved on investigations about gall‐making and vagrant eriophyoid mites throughout the world and aiming the promotion of a future scientific progress on specific and required topics, and a larger international cooperation among researchers with complementary competence and expertise.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
