Abstract

In an investigation on terrestrial parasitengone mites in Mehriz and Taft regions of Yazd province and East Mazandaran during 2010–2011 and 2011–2012, nine and seven species were collected respectively. Atractothrombium sylvaticum (C.L. Koch, 1835) is a new record for the Asian mite fauna from Yazd province, Iran. The other species Charletonia terianae Hakimitabar, Saboori and Seiedy, 2013, Cicaditrombium weni Saboori and Lazarboni, 2008, Erythraeus (Erythraeus) garmsaricus Saboori, Goldarazena & Khajeali, 2004, Erythraeus (Zaracarus) rajabii Saboori, 2000, Allothrombium triticium Zhang, 1995, Willmannella kazerunica Zhang & Saboori, 1997, Nagoricanella bella(Zhang, 1996) and Charletonia krendowskyi (Feider, 1954) are new to fauna of Yazd province. Eatoniana gonabadensis (Ahmadi, Hajiqanbar & Saboori, 2012) is recorded for the second time in the world from East Mazandaran, Iran. Erythraeus (Zaracarus) ueckermanni Saboori, Nowzari & Bagheri-Zenouz, 2004, Eutrombidium sorbasiensis Mayoral & Barranco, 2004, Montenegtrombium milicae Saboori & Pešić, 2006 are new for Mazandaran fauna. Allothrombium pulvinum Ewing, 1917, Charletonia behshahriensis Hakimitabar & Saboori, 2014 and Ralphaudyna iranensis Zhang & Saboori, 1995 were also collected from East Mazandaran.
