Aceria is a genus of mite belonging to the gall mite family (Eriophyidae). These tiny animals are parasites of plants. Several species can cause galls, blisters and erineum[1]; a few are economically significant pests, while others are useful for biological control of invasive plants such as Rush Skeletonweed (Chondrilla juncea), Creeping Thistle (Cirsium arvense) or Field Bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis).

This genus makes up a significant part (typically 25%–30%) of gall mite biodiversity across the world.[1]
