Following the appearance of inflorescence malformations on mango trees in some orchards in Israel, a survey was carried out of the presence of Eriophyid mites on mango, and their possible effect on inflorescence malformation was studied. Two Eriophyid species were recorded for the first time from this area. One of them, Erio-phyes mangiferae, associated with mango trees, has no direct effect on inflorescence malformation, but its interaction with another biotic factor is not excluded. © 1976, Springer Science + Business Media B.V..
