Aculops is a genus of mites that belongs to the family Eriophyidae that live as plant parasites. Some species, such as Aculops lycopersici, are severe crop or ornamental pests, while Aculops ailanthii is being considered as biocontrol for the extremely invasive tree-of-heaven in North America.[1] Very little is known about this genus, with new species constantly being discovered even in well covered regions such as New Zealand.[2]
