Abstract
Iranian mites of the family Parasitidae were reviewed in the base of literature and collected materials were reviewed. Cornigamasus lunaris Berlese, Parasitus lunariphilus Makarova, P. mustelarum Oudemans and Vulgarogamasus kraepelini (Berlese) are reported for the first time from Iran. The specimens which had been cited previously as Parasitellus talparum (Oudemans) were re-examined and identified as P. fucorum (De Geer). Also, a key to Iranian genera of the family, distribution and habitats information of the Iranian species are presented.
