  abstract = {{N}ucleotide sequence variation and morphological characters were used to study the evolutionary relationships among nine tetranychid mites species. {A} philogenetic study of this family based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit {I} ({COI}) sequences had previously placed the species #{T}etranychus viennensis$ {Z}acher outside the other species analysed in the genus. {P}hylogenetic relations within the genus were re-examined with the addition of the species #{T}etranychus quercivorus$ {E}hara & {G}otoh, which is morphologically close to #{T}. viennensis$. {A}nother region of the genome, the second internal transcribed spacer ({ITS}2) of ribosomal {DNA}, was also studied and proved to be of considerable interest at this taxonomic level. {B}oth {COI} and {ITS}2 sequences indicated a close relationship between #{T}. viennensis$ and #{T}. quercivorus$, which are grouped together and distinct from the other #{T}etranychus$ examined. {T}he two species display morphological characteristics such as the absence of a medio-dorsal spur on all empodia of the legs of both sexes and the presence of anastomosing peritremes. {T}his distinguishes them from the other members of the genus #{T}etranychus$. {T}he convergence of molecular and morphological data suggests that #{T}. viennensis$ and #{T}. quercivorus$ should not be classified in the genus #{T}etranychus$. {I}t is proposed that the genus #{A}mphitetranychus$ {O}udemans should be restored for classification of these species. {F}inally, a key to the {T}etranychini tribe genera with one pair of para-anal setae is presented.
