Abstract
The genus Brevipalpus from Greece is revised and a key to 18 species is provided, with illustrations of the nymphs. Twelve species were formerly recorded: B. atalantae (Hatzinikolis), B. californicus (Banks), B. chalkidicus (Hatzinikolis), B. hellenicus (Hatzinikolis and Kolovos), B. lewisi McGregor, B. macedonicus (Hatzinikolis), B. obovatus Donnadieu, B. oicac Baker, B. olearius Sayed, B. olivicola (Pegazzano and Castagnoli), B. phoenicis (Geijskes) and B. russulus (Boisduval). The following six species are now recorded for the first time from Greece: B. cuneatus (Canestrini and Fanzago), B. essigi Baker, B. filium Baker, B. mallorquensis Pritchard and Baker, B. pini Baker and B. sayedi Baker. A review of hosts, distribution and economic importance is presented for each species.
