Abstract
Comparative studies of the ecological and genetic traits of Panonychus citri (McGregor) populations on citrus and other host plants were con ducted. Panonychus citri on Osmanthus trees has a unique esterase alle le and host range in comparison with populations on other host plants, for example Citrus unshiu and Ilex crenata. Reproductive incompatibil ity between P. citri populations an C. unshiu and Osmanthus fragrans w as found. Therefore, in Japan, P. citri differentiates into two groups one of which associates with Osmanthus, and the other with other host plants.
