از ايران(Acari: Cheyletoidea)Syringophilidae Lavoipierre از خانواده quill mitesاولين گزارش از

Syringophilinae Lavoipierre and Picobiinae Johnston & Kethley, and both are occurred in the Palaearctic region. The main differences between both subfamilies are visible in morphology and ecology of these mites e.g. in syringophilines the distal tip of the palp tibiotarsus is rounded, proral setae are multiserrate, females are not capable to physogastry and the main microhabitats are quills of wing and tail feathers; in picobiines, distal tip of the palp tibiotarsus is tapering, proral setae are rod-like and with two minute tines, females are able to physogastry, and the main microhabitats are quills of the body feathers. In this family, deutonymph is absent in the life cycle and adult females could be distinguished by presence of genito-anal opening and their occurrence in the terminal part of the body and also in some details of the leg chaetotaxy (Johnston & Kethley 1973; Skoracki 2011).
