Summary Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is cultivated in subtropical and tropical regions, and in Brazil, commercial orchards began in the 1970–80s. The litchi erinose mite (LEM), Aceria litchii (Keifer) (Acari: Eriophyidae), is a pest of litchi worldwide. In Brazil, LEM was first reported in this crop in Sao Paulo State in 2008, and Espirito Santo is the second Brazilian state with infestation of this mite discovered in a 18-year-old orchard of 150 plants of the litchi cultivar ‘Bengal’. Cultural and chemical measures for LEM management are presented, and this is the first range expansion of LEM into Espirito Santo State, Brazil.
