Trochometridium iranicum differs from T. kazachstanicum by its clearly longer seta h 1, at least twice as long as seta h 2 (h 1 shorter and almost as long as seta h 2 in T. kazachstanicum). The new species differs from T. tribulatum by shorter seta d, such that the lengths of the setae are shorter than their basal distance (setae d distinctly longer than distance between their bases in T. tribulatum).</p> <p>Type material</p> <p>Holotype female (Sab-5) found in Mazinan village, vicinity of Sabzevar town, Razawi Khorassan province, northeastern Iran, 36°18.510′ N, 56°48.507′ E, altitude 877 m, collected by Hamidreza Hajiqanbar, 3 June 2007. The mites were found twice (five mites on one bee host and four mites on another one, the same species) phoretic on ventral body surfaces, grasping to sternite hairs of mesosoma and metasoma of Pseudapis nilotica (Smith, 1875) (Hymenoptera: Halictidae: Nomiinae). The bees were captured by netting.</p> <p>Paratypes: eight females (Sab-5 and Sab-6), same collection data as holotype.</p> <p>Etymology</p> <p>The name of the new species refers to its country of origin, “ Iran ”.</p> <p>New records of the Trochometridiidae from Iran</p> <p>In addition to some new taxa of trochometridiid mites described above, we also collected two previously described species of the genus Trochometridium over the course of our study which were new to Iran’s arthropod fauna: T. kazachstanicum and T. chinensis.</p> <p>Trochometridium kazachstanicum Khaustov et Eidelberg, 2002 was collected on 3 June 2007 from Gymnopleurus (s. str.) mopsus persianus Reitter, 1909 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Mehr village, vicinity of Sabzevar town, Razawi Khorassan province, northeastern Iran, 36°17.577′ N, 56°73.314′ E, altitude 1024 m. The beetle hosts were found several times in dung and the related mites were observed twice on the ventral body surfaces of the hosts; each time four mites were seen, giving a total of eight mites. A previous record of T. kazachstanicum is from Kazakhstan where it was associated with a carabid beetle Machozetus sp. (Khaustov and Eidelberg 2002).</p> <p>Trochometridium chinensis (Mahunka, 1966) was collected on 31 July 2006 from an undetermined labidurid earwig (Dermaptera: Labiduridae) in the vicinity of Maneh and Samalghan town, North Khorassan province, northeastern Iran, 37.7° N, 56.4° E, altitude 2365 m. The earwig host was found under a stone and nine mites were observed. Previous records of T. chinensis were from China associated with wasps and from the Netherlands and New Guinea associated with sphecoid wasps (Mahunka 1966; Cross and Bohart 1979).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A36D52FFC3FF97D234FB1537F4BED0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
