Popis:	A new species of pest mite, Penthaleus tectus sp. n. (Acari: Penthaleidae) is described from south-eastern Australia, where it attacks several grain crops including wheat, in which it can cause significant damage. It has previously been confused with the blue oat mite Penthaleus major (Duges). Penthaleus tectus differs from P. major morphologically and genetically, and in geographical distribution, response to pesticides, and the timing of diapause. Previous records of ‘P. major’ from Australia and other countries probably include a mixture of several species. Penthaleus minor (Canestrini) is recorded from South Africa for the first time.
