5C2A407DFFF3476BFCBFDF86FDF001F0.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined — Four females, Dubai, 12 Jan. 2013, 25 ° 07 ’ N, 55 ° 06 ’ E, alt. 13 m, on Bermuda grass, Cynodon dactylon L. (Poaceae) close to soil surface. Remarks — Mites of the genus Cheiroseius are known to feed on collembolans (Collembola) (Halliday et al., 1998). The present specimens of C. nepalensis (Evans and Hyatt, 1960) were found in association with high populations of collembolans and thrips. This is the first report of this species from the UAE. Distribution — China (Zhang and Fan, 2010), Hungary (Salamane and KontschAEn, 2005), Iran (Jalaeian et al., 2004), Philippines (Raros and Raros, 1999) and Taiwan (Xiong, 1989).	en	Negm, M. W.

5C2A407DFFF4476BFF54DF76FBE201D1.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined — Twenty five females and 10 males, Dubai, 15 Jan. 2013, 25 ° 06 ’ N, 55 ° 08 ’ E, alt. 145 m, on C. dactylon. Remarks — Cydnoseius negevi (Swirski and Amitai, 1961) was originally described from Israel, on date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L. (Arecaceae) (Swirski and Amitai 1961). According to Chant and McMurtry (2007), the genus Cydnoseius contains two species, C. negevi and C. muntius (Schicha and Corpuz-Raros), the latter described from Philippines, on Shorea guiso (Blanco) Blume (Diptrocarpaceae). This is the first report of this species from the UAE. Distribution — Cydnoseius negevi has been essentially reported from the Mediterranean area, Egypt (El Badry, 1967 a), Israel (Swirski and Amitai, 1961), Oman (Hountondji et al., 2010), Pakistan (Muma, 1967), Saudi Arabia (Negm et al., 2012 b) and Sudan (El Badry, 1967 b).	en	Negm, M.

5C2A407DFFF4476BFF0FDBB2FDCB068A.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined — Twenty females and five males, Dubai, 15 Jan. 2013, 25 ° 06 ’ N, 55 ° 08 ’ E, alt. 122 m, on C. dactylon. Remarks — Mites of the genus Lasioseius occur in various habitats such as plants, soil and leaf litter (Halliday et al., 1998). The original collection of L. youcefi was collected from wet mosses in Algeria (Athias-Henriot, 1959). Walter and Lindquist (1989) redescribed and presented diagnoses for L. berlesei (Oudemans, 1938), L. youcefi and L. confusus Evans, 1958 on the basis of the spermatheca. The species L. youcefi belongs to the subgenus cuspiacus Christian and Karg, 2006, which includes species having mostly acicular dorsal setae and a smaller number of pectinate setae. This is the first report of this species from the UAE. Distribution — Africa (Athias-Henriot, 1959), Asia (Ishikawa, 1969), Europe (Westerboer, 1963) and North America (Chant, 1963).	en	Negm, M. W.

5C2A407DFFF4476BFC70DB82FB080632.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined — Two females, Dubai, 15 Jan. 2013, 25 ° 06 ’ N, 55 ° 08 ’ E, alt. 145 m, on Seapurslanes, Sesuvium sp. (Aizoaceae). Remarks — The type specimens of Neoseiulus makuwa were found on Cucumis melo var. makuwa at Kita-usa, Usa, Oita, Kyushu, Japan (Ehara 1972). The two collected females completely fit the original description of Ehara (1972) and the redescription given by Zannou et al. (2006), who reported one female in Africa (Cameroon), on Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae). This is the first record of this species in UAE. Distribution — It was reported from Saudi Arabia in the Middle East (Negm et al. 2012 a). It has also been recorded in Cameroon, China, Indonesia (Sumatra), Japan, South Korea and Taiwan (Ehara and Amano 2004; Moraes et al. 2004).	en	Negm, M. W.

5C2A407DFFF4476BFC60DCE3FBC704D5.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined — Three females, Dubai, 15 Jan. 2013, 25 ° 06 ’ N, 55 ° 08 ’ E, alt. 122 m, on C. dactylon. Remarks — The original description of Proprioseiopsis asetus is based on material collected on apple, at Kearneysville, West Virginia, USA (Chant 1959). Muma et al. (1970) recorded this species from Florida. This is the first record of this species in UAE. Distribution — This species was reported from Saudi Arabia in the Middle East (Negm et al. 2012 a). It is otherwise known from Brazil, Galapagos, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico, Taiwan and USA (Moraes et al. 2004).	en	Negm, M. W.

5C2A407DFFF5476AFF05DD3FFF3804D4.taxon	materials_examined	Material examined — Two females, Dubai, 12 Jan. 2013, 25 ° 06 ’ N, 55 ° 08 ’ E, alt. 145 m, on Nettle-leaved goosefoot, Chenopodium murale L. (Amaranthaceae). Remarks — The oriental red mite, Eutetranychus orientalis, primarily a pest of citrus, is reported from many parts of the world. This is the first report of this species from the UAE. Distribution — Cosmopolitan. Four other species of the families, Anystidae Oudemans, 1936 – genus Paratarsotonus; Caligonellidae Grandjean, 1944 – genus Molothrognathus; Eupodidae Koch, 1842 – genus Eupodes; Tydeidae Kramer, 1877 – genus Tydeus, were herein first recorded from UAE. It has been difficult to determine the species names because of poor taxonomic competences and the few specimens collected for these groups. However, further collaborations with World Acarologists would be very expected to identify these mites. The material examined is as follows:	en	Negm, M. W.
