- Oligonychus araneum (grasswebbing mite)[5]
- Oligonychus bicolor (oak red mite), on oaks and other hardwood trees[6]
- Oligonychus biharensis (cassava red mite), many cultivated fruits and ornamental plants[1]
- Oligonychus coffeae (tea red spider mite), "considered to be the most serious pest of tea".[7] Also a pest of coffee, cotton, and jute, and recorded on cashew, African oil palm, rubber, and several fruit crops[7]
- Oligonychus coniferarum, a pest of many conifer trees used for Christmas trees[8]
- Oligonychus gossypii (cotton red mite), cotton, fruits, beans, ornamentals[1]
- Oligonychus ilicis (southern red mite, coffee red mite), a pest of many woody ornamentals, especially azaleas and camellias,[9] first described from American holly (Ilex opaca)[10]
- Oligonychus indicus (sugarcane red spider mite, sugarcane leaf mite), banana and grass crops[1]
- Oligonychus litchii, grasses and palms[1]
- Oligonychus mangiferus (mango spider mite), many fruit crops, sweet potato, cotton, ornamentals[1]
- Oligonychus mcgregori, avocado, cassava, cotton, ornamentals[1]

- Oligonychus oryzae (paddy leaf mite, rice leaf mite), a pest of rice[12]
- Oligonychus palus, banana[13]
- Oligonychus perditus, a pest of ornamental conifers, such as juniper bonsai[14]
- Oligonychus perseae (persea mite), a top pest of avocado in California, also on ornamentals[15]
- Oligonychus pratensis (Banks grass mite), corn, turfgrasses[16]
- Oligonychus punicae (ash flower gall mite, avocado brown mite),[5] a pest of avocado[17]
