Abstract

A new genus and species of trombidiid mites with larvae which are ectoparasitic on undetermined aphid feeding on Raphannus sativus L. (Brassicaceae) and Onopordon leptolepis Dc. (Astraceae) are described from East Azarbaijan, Iran. Azaritrombium raphanicum Saboori, Bagheri & Haddad gen. et sp. n. is placed in the subfamily Trombidiinae.
