Species Oligonychus digitatus Davis, 1966
Introduction
This species has been the subject of a complex series of misidentifications, as reviewed by Seeman & Beard (2011). All Australian records of Tetranychus gloveri, Septanychus tumidus, and Allonychus braziliensis before 2008 are actually Oligonychus digitatus.
