Mites of Digamasellidae, Rhodacaridae, Phytoseiidae and ascidae of the cooton fields in Moghan Plain

During 1995 - 96 faunistic studies were carried out on the mites of cotton fields in Moghan plain. A total of 9 species, 18 genera and 8 families belonging to the order Mesostigmata were collected and identified. The first part of it which is presented here in this paper includes 4 families named Rhodacaridae, Digamasellidae, Phytoseiidae and Ascide with 9 genera and 6 species as follows: Amblydrornella iranensis Dan. & Den., Neoseiulus oryzacolus Dan., Phytoseius tropicalis Dan., Typhodromus sp., Rhodacarellus epiginali.s Sheals, Digamasellus sp., Dendrolaelaps zwoelferi Hirschm, Proctolaelaps hystricoides and Asca sp., one species (Proctolaelaps hystricoides) is new record for the mite fauna of Iran, all others are new for the Moghan plain. With regard to the gernera and species diversity of the family phtoseiidae, further studies about this family in order to identify the important bio-control agents of the region are needed.
