Abstract

Two new species of the genus Neophyllobius Berlese, 1886 viz. Neophyllobius zolfigolii sp. nov. collected from soil under a wild rose bush and Neophyllobius kamalii sp. nov. collected from pomegranate leaves infested by Cenopalpus irani Dosse (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) are described and illustrated from Iran. A key to the Iranian species is provided.
