AB  - A new genus and species of digamasellid mites is described based on adult females and males. Bulbolaelaps bossei n. gen., n. sp. was collected from the fruiting bodies of gilled fungi on a tree trunk in Zanjan province, Iran. The new genus can be distinguished from the other genera of Digamasellidae by having a bulbous swollen protuberance on the venter of the palptrochanter; corniculi weakly formed and epistome weakly sclerotised; hypostomal setae h1 and h2 positioned more or less transversely; deutosternal groove narrow with limited number of denticles; ventral base of female cheliceral digit with a spine-like projection; and setae ad1 and pd1 tarsi II–IV narrowly lanceolate apically.
