A survey of Panonychus species in Georgia from 2005 to 2014 found three species, including P. citri, P. hadzhibejliae, and P. ulmi. New hosts for P. ulmi and P. citri were identified, along with their taxonomical status. P. hadzhibejliae was found exclusively on Ficus carica and is a valid species that can be differentiated easily from the others. A redescription of P. hadzhibejliae, including male morphological characteristics, is provided, along with a proposed key to all world species of Panonychus.
