Abstract
Collects of Phytoseiidae species of the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten have been carried out in some regions of Western and North–Western Iran from 2008–2011. This paper presents the redescription of six species belonging to two subgenera Typhlodromus ( Anthoseius ) De Leon and Typhlodromus ( Typhlodromus ) Scheuten (each with three species, respectively): T. ( A. ) bagdasarjani Wainstein & Arutunjan, T. ( A. ) kerkirae Swirski & Ragusa, T. ( A. ) khosrovensis Arutunjan, T. ( T. ) phialatus Athias–Henriot, T. ( T. ) leptodactylus Wainstein and T. ( T. ) tubifer Wainstein. It is the first record of T. ( T. ) phialatus Athias–Henriot for the Iranian phytoseiid fauna. This paper also provides an identification key of the species of the genus Typhlodromus in Iran.
