Abstract

During 2006 a survey was carried out on tetranychid mites and their natural enemies in Maragheh apple orchards (North-west of Iran). In this survey a total of 20 species within the families Tetranychidae, Phytoseiidae, Stigmaeidae, Anystidae, Iolinidae, Coccinellidae, Chrysopidae and Thripidae were collected and identified. One species of the Iolinidae identified as Neopronematus neglectus (Kuznetzov) and its identity was confirmed by Dr. Edward Ueckermann from Plant Protection Research Institute of South Africa. It is reported here as a new record to Acari fauna of Iran.
