It is estimated that world fauna of eriophyoid mites could be increased to 35000 to 50000 species. Thus, discovery of many new species is not surprising (Amrine et al. 2003). During 2010–11, 16 species of Eriophyoidea belonging to two families and eight genera were collected from 16 plant species from Shiraz (Fars Province). One species is a new record to mite fauna of Iran (marked by *) and three are unknown species (marked by **). The species are listed in Table 1. The mites were separated by an insect pin, cleared in a droplet of glacial lactic acid, and then mounted on a microscopic slide using Hoyer’s medium (de Lillo & Skoracka 2010). Table 1. List of Eriopyoidea species of Shiraz county.
