N1 - Funding Information: Comparative microscopy and PCR were supported by Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR grant # 19-04-00127 А) and research project of ZIN RAS (АААА-А19-119020790133-6). Sequencing was carried out using the equipment of the “Development of Molecular and Cellular Technologies” Resource Center and “Center for Microscopy and Microanalysis” at St. Petersburg State University and was supported by St. Petersburg State University (project INI_2018-3 # 49711063). We are grateful to Dr. A. Kiselev (Laboratoire de Recherche en Sciences Végétales, Université de Toulouse, France) for collecting plant material in Argentina.

N2 - Plants of the genus Nothofagus (Fagales, Nothofagaceae) has ancient South American-Australasian disjunctive distribution and represent a perspective model for biogeographical studies in Eriophyoidea. Among six currently known eriophyoid genera reported from Nothofagus (Acalitus, Aceria, Austracus, Cymoptus, Rectalox, and Nothacus) only genus Cymoptus was registered in western and eastern distribution areas of Nothofagus. In this paper we describe a new vagrant species, Solenocristus nothofagalisn. sp. (Phytoptidae, Sierraphytoptinae) collected from lower leaf surface of Nothofagus pumilio in Los Glaciares National Park (Patagonia, Argentina). Because all mite specimens in the sample were dead, amplification of three marker genes (COI, 18S, 28S) performed ten days after collecting data was unsuccessful. Morphological identification of the host plant was confirmed using PCR method and resulted in new sequences of 18S (MT164471) and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region (MT164174) of N. pumilio, deposited in GenBank.
