Abstract

Based on studies on edaphic mites of the superfamily Uropodoidea in Mazandaran Province, northern Iran, three new records of the families Uropodidae and Trematuridae were collected and identified as follows: Neodiscopoma splendida (Kramer), Uropoda (Uropoda) fumicola (Schweizer) and Trichouropoda spatulifera (Moniez). Also, a key to the known Iranian species of Uropodoidea is presented.
