Phytoptus avellanae is an acarine gall-mite species inducing big bud galls of up to 10 millimetres (0.39 in) across, sometimes slightly open, on the buds of hazel (Corylus avellana) and on filbert (Corylus maxima).[1] Synonyms include Phytocoptella avellanae, Eriophyes avellanae, Calycophthora avellanae, Phytoptus coryli, Phytoptus pseudogallarum, and Acarus pseudogallarum.[2] The mites are white, about 0.3 mm long, with numerous tergites and sternites.[3] Two forms of P. avellanae exist, a gall causer and a vagrant form that has a more complex life-cycle and does not form galls.[4]
