Habitat and distribution in Iran – Guilan Province (Lahijan, Rasht, Masuleh, Sangar, Daylaman), mulberry, tea, rice farm, fig, raspberry, decaying plants, soil, plants and associated with eriophyid mite, wood sorrel, Oxalis acetosella L. (Oxalidaceae) and rose, Rosa damascena (Rosaceae) leaves infested with spider mites (Daneshvar 1987; Kamali et al. 2001; Hajizadeh et al. 2010 a, b, 2020; Adeli et al. 2013; Javadpour et al. 2018; Ghasemi and Hajizadeh 2020; Navran and Hajizadeh 2021); Mazandaran Province (Behshahr), on fig tree (Daneshvar 1987); Isfahan Province (Najaf Abad, Zarrin Shahr, Falavarjan, Dorcheh), soil of fruit trees orchards (Jalaeian et al. 2006). World Distribution – Egypt, India, Iran, Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Taiwan (Santos et al. 2023; Daneshvar 1987). Taxonomic note on synonymy of Indiraseius extremus with Lasioseius parberlesei The genus Indiraseius was established by Daneshvar (1987) based on mite specimens collected from Northern Iran (Guilan and Mazandran Provinces). He designated Lasioseius parberlesei Bhattacharyya, 1968 as the type species for the genus Indiraseius and described Indiraseius extremus as the second species within this genus. However, Walter and Lindquist (1997) considered the genus Indiraseius Daneshvar as a synonym of Lasioseius Berlese. Moraes et al. (2015 a) also regarded Lasioseius extremus (Daneshvar, 1987) as a synonym of Lasioseius parberlesei Bhattacharyya, 1968. However, they did not have access to the type material of Lasioseius extremus for close examination. Moraes et al. (2016) chose to retain these two species as distinct species but did not provide an explanation for this decision, nor did they provide details of the examined specimens. In the present study, we collected specimens of Lasioseius parberlesei from the same locations where Daneshvar (1987) collected the type material of Indiraseius extremus. We conducted a comparison of setal measurements and other characteristics of female specimens of Lasioseius parberlesei collected from Iran (including Daneshvar's 1987 measurements for Indiraseius extremus) and those from four different countries (Egypt, India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia), which are presented in Table 1. The results demonstrate a close similarity between the characteristics of Indiraseius extremus and Lasioseius parberlesei from Iran and the four other countries (Table 1). Only one male specimen of L. parberlesei was collected in this study. We compared setal measurements and other characteristics of the male specimen from Iran with specimens from Egypt and India, and the results are presented in Table 2. The data indicate a close similarity between the characteristics of the Iranian male specimen and those of male specimens from Egypt and India (Table 2). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that Indiraseius extremus is a synonym of Lasioseius parberlesei.	en	Hajizadeh, Jalil, Javadpour, Mahboubeh, Mohammadi, Leila (2023): Review of the genus Lasioseius Berlese (Acari: Blattisociidae) in Iran, and a key for identification of the Iranian species of the genus.
