Abstract
Six species of Parholaspidid mites were collected from Guilan province in Northern Iran. Gamasholaspis browningi (Bregetova & Koroleva, 1960) is a new record for the Iranian Parholaspidid mite fauna. This paper provides a checklist for Parholaspidid mites species recorded from Iran, with a key for identification of the species.
