Description

Insects of the Eriophyoidea superfamily are mites smaller than the naked eye can see, around 0.1~0.3 mm in size and worm shaped. Currently the Museum of Natural Science has in its collection around 7,000 Eriophyoidea slide specimens, including more than 700 species; of these, 171 have been officially published, and 140 type specimens are in the collection. Specimens collected around Taiwan and parts of China are still preserved in 70% ethanol liquid due to insufficient manpower; these number around 2,000.
