Abstract
During a faunistic survey on injurious mites associated with broad leaf trees, ornamental shrubs which was conducted in landscapes of Mashahd in 2008 and 2009, specimens of four species, Eutetranychus africanus (Tuker, 1926), Oligonychus mangiferus (Rahman and Sapra, 1940), Oligonychus yothersi (Mc Gregor 1914) and Schizotetranychus hindustanicus (Hirst, 1924) were identified that are new for Iranian fauna. After preliminary identification, specimens were sent to Dr. Owen Seeman (Queensland museum, Australia).
