The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is one of the most important pest species, because it devastates many horticultural and ornamental crops and fruit trees. In the present study, we explored a field strain that was collected in January 2001 and then selected for 16 years for acequinocyl resistance. The resistance ratios calculated for the LC50 value in the laboratory-selected acequinocyl-resistant (LSAR16) strain was 4,237-fold higher than that of the susceptible strain. Pretreatment with the synergists piperonyl butoxide and S,S,S-tributyl-phosphorotrithioate significantly increased the toxicity of acequinocyl to the LSAR16 strain. Crossing experiments revealed that the resistance in the LSAR16 strain was maternally inherited, dominant, and monogenic. Furthermore, among individuals in the LSAR16 strain, 85.598.5% had the I256V mutation and 9899% had the N321S mutation in mitochondrial cytochrome b. These results suggest that these two new point mutations contribute to acequinocyl resistance in T. urticae.
