Abstract
The summary is given in the article about the observed species of the Erythraeidae Robineau- Desvoidy, 1828 mites in the Greater Caucasus Region of Azerbaijan. 25 species belonging to 8 genera of 5 sub-families have been found. Among them 1 sub-family (Balaustiinae Grandjean, 1947), 4 genera (Erythraeus Latreille, 1806, Curteria Southcott, 1961, Balaustium v.Heyden, 1826, Neobalaustium Willmann, 1951) and 22 species are new for the Caucasian fauna. 2 subfamilies (Callidosomatinae Southcott, 1961 and Abrolophinae Witte, 1995), 2 genera (Charletonia oudemans, 1910 and Abrolophus Berlese, 1891) and 1 species (Charletonia cardinalis (Pallas, 1772)) are new for the studied area. Abrolophus Berlese, 1891 genera are rich with species, 8 species have been found. The found species are spread over the altitudes and landscape zones, landscapes and forest biotopes. Also, the zoogeographic analysis of the erythraeid mites was carried out and they were divided into ecological groups. The studies show that the base of the fauna of the Erythraeidae Robineau-Desvoidy, 1828 mites in the Greater Caucasus region consists of 3 zoogeographic groups: European species (9 species), Central European species (5 species), Holarctic species (4 species).
