AB  - The unnoticed invasion of mites is attributed to the absence of consistent monitoring over time. This recent investigation identified the presence of the cassava green mite, Mononychellus mcgregori (Flechtmann & Baker 1970), on Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) for the first time in the Indian subcontinent. The study involves a comprehensive re-description of the invasive mite, Mononychellus mcgregori (Flechtmann & Baker), employing an integrative approach. The report also highlights the potential future threat posed by the invasive mite to crop diversity in India.
