During 2005-2006, an investigation was carried out on the mites associated with stored rice in Guilan province, Iran. Two species of Phytoseiid mites were collected and identified as Proprioseiopsis bregetovae (Abbasova, 1970) and Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) transvaalensis (Nesbitt, 1951). Both are reported here for the first time from Iran. The association of these two species with the habitat of stored rice is also new.
