Eriophyid mites of the genus Cecidophyopsis colonise cultivated currant fruits (Ribes spp.). At present, the most damaging is the blackcurrant gall mite (C. ribis) on blackcurrant (R. nigrum). The importance, biology and taxonomy of blackcurrant gall mite and the other Cecidophyopsis mites that colonise currants are discussed in relation to their hosts. Until recently, taxonomic keys were confusing and in some cases inaccurate. The revision of the keys for the main mite species and the development of a molecular approach to assist with their identification are discussed. The latter has provided a rapid and cost effective method to identify mites associated with Ribes
