Abstract
In this study, we conducted a comprehensive review of all heterostigmatic mites that have previously been recorded from Iran. Thus far, 319 species, 70 genera, 12 families and 6 superfamilies of Heterostigmata (Acari: Prostigmata) (of 2265 known world species, 232 genera, 18 families and 8 superfamilies) have been recorded from different regions of Iran. Our study reveals a substantially immense diversity of Iranian heterostigmatic mite fauna, representing 15% and 4% of all heterostigmatic mites recorded and described from Iran, respectively by reviewing research of many scientists during more than 50 years. In addition to Iranian heterostigmatic mite taxa, all genera, families and superfamilies of world's Heterostigmata have been mentioned.
