Abstract

Abstract. A survey on the eriophyid mite fauna of Maku County in West Azerbaijan province, Iran was carried out during summer 2020 and 2021. Sampling was done on the most abundant plant species of this area. Fourteen Aceria species were collected and identified: Aceria balasi Farkas, 1960, collected on Carduus acanthoides L. (Asteraceae), and Aceria inturbida Boczek, 1961, collected on Arctium lappa L. (Asteraceae), were new to the Asian mite fauna and a supplementary description of them was provided. Eight species including A. khaniensis Honarmand, Sadeghi & de Lillo, 2020, A. chenopodia Xue, Sadeghi & Hong, 2009, A. longisolenidia Lotfollahi, Haddad & de Lillo, 2015, A. cichorii Petanovic, Boczek & Shi, 2002, A. verbenacae de Lillo, Panzarino, Loverre & Valenzano, 2017, A. zygofabae Lotfollahi, de Lillo & Haddad, 2017, A. tragopogonis Xue, Sadeghi & Hong, 2012 and A. lobolinguae Lotfollahi & de Lillo, 2014 were new records to the fauna of West Azerbaijan province, Iran.
