Abstract
A general increase in the economic importance of the citrus flat mite has occurred throughout the citrus-growing area of central California since 1952. Infestations of the mite on citrus have been reported from the Coachella Valley, and in 1955, heavy infestations were found severely scarring tangerines in the Imperial Valley.
