ABSTRACT – Three new species and one new record of the eriophyoid mites from Iran are described and illustrated. They are Aceria chenopodia n. sp. on Chenopodium album L. (Chenopodiaceae), Aceria mashha- diensis n. sp. on Polygonum arviculare L. (Polygonaceae), Tetra ferdowsiensis n. sp. on Ulmus minor Mill. (Ulmaceae), and Aceria fraxinivora (Nalepa, 1909) on Fraxinus excelsior (Oleaceae). All the new species described herein are vagrants on the host plant. A checklist of eriophyoid mites from Iran was provided. Key words – Acari, Diptilomiopidae, Eriophyoidea, Phytopidae, taxonomy, Iran, new species, checklist. INTRODUCTION terminology used here follows Lindquist (1996) and the generic classification is made according to Amrine et al. Up to now, 84 eriophyoid mite species in the (2003).

In tection, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran. 2008, field surveys were conducted by Dr. Hussein Sadeghi from Iran and the specimens were sent to Dr. RESULTS Xiao-Yue Hong of China for identification. Three new species and one new record were found. All the Aceria chenopodia n. sp. new species described herein are vagrants on host (Figs. 1 and 2) plants.
