One genus (Platyseius Berlese, 1916) and four species are new records for Iran while 14 species for Guilan province mite fauna. The taxonomic characteristics of the four new species new for Iran mite fauna are given. A key is also provided for northern Iran (Guilan, Mazandran and Golestan Provinces) ascid mites.
