Tetranychus gloveri , a recently introduced mite species in Kerala, India has now established in the state as a predominant mite pest on ornamental plants. In this study, the status of acaricide resistance and the activity of detoxification enzymes were investigated in the populations of  T. gloveri  collected on Adenium plants from six different commercial horticultural nurseries of Thrissur district, Kerala, India. Adulticidal bioassays were performed for fenazaquin and dicofol, while nymphicidal bioassays were conducted for spiromesifen to estimate the LC 50 . The field populations showed resistance ratios in the range of 1.66–14.38-fold for fenazaquin, 1.06–27.31-fold for spiromesifen and 1.22–3.65-fold for dicofol, compared to the laboratory-maintained reference population. Enzyme assays of detoxifying enzymes revealed enhanced activity of carboxylesterase by 1.03–3.52-fold and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase by 1.01–2.08-fold in the field populations. However, the role of glutathione S-transferase in the development of resistance in different field populations was insignificant. The study recorded the development of resistance in the spider mite,  T. gloveri  to new generation acaricides spiromesifen and fenazaquin for the first time and also confirmed the significant role of the carboxylesterases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in imparting resistance in  T. gloveri .
