In our study of the pachylaelapid mites from Iran, a new remarkable species, Pachylaelaps (Pachylaelaps) prodigiosus sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on adult stages found in soil detritus of broadleaved deciduous forest habitats. The sperm induction system detected in females of the new species is unusual in having its tubular structures exclusively associated with coxae III instead of coxae IV, as found in all other members of the genus. An adult male of P. (P.) grandis Koroleva, 1977, a similar species with analogous sperm induction system in female, is described for the first time. A new species group in the subgenus Pachylaelaps, represented by P. (P.) grandis, P. (P.) kirghizorum Koroleva, 1977 and P. (P.) prodigiosus sp. nov., is newly constituted, and its specific characters of insemination apparatus discussed.

A faunistic study on the family Pachylaelapidae in forest and garden habitats from some regions in Guilan province, northern Iran, was carried out during 2015-2016. The samples were taken from soil, decaying organic matter, especially humus, rotten wood, moss and plant remains. A total of 10 species, belonging to three genera, were collected and identified, among them, Onchodellus squamosus Koroleva is newly recorded from Iran. Onchodellus and Pachylaelaps grandis Koroleva were considered as the most specious genus and the most frequent species, respectively. Some morphological characters and distributions of the species in Iran are discussed herein.

Such serrated margins of the dorsal shield are reminiscent of the dorsal shield of many Zerconidae (Ujvári 2010(Ujvári , 2011 and some species of Pachyseius Berlese (Pachylaelapidae) (Mašán 2007, Ahadiyat et al. 2016. Note that the serration of dorsal shields in zerconid and Pachyseius species is largely correlated, although not entirely, with the insertion of marginal setae. ...

... Pachyseius Berlese, 1910 is a small group of edaphic predatory animals distributed mainly in the Palaearctic region and currently includes 26 valid species based on the type specimens from Europe (14 spp.) and Asia (12 spp.), excluding those which have been synonymized or incorrectly classified in the genus at some time (see Table 1). In the genus, altogether 10 newly described species were established and introduced in various taxonomic papers during the last three years: Mašán and Fenďa (2014) described one species from Romania, Halliday (2014, 2015) described four species from Turkey, Marchenko (2015) described one species from Russia (South Siberia), Mašán and Özbek (2016) described two species from Bulgaria and Romania, respectively, and Babaeian et al. (2016) and Ahadiyat et al. (2016) each described one species from Iran. Our aim in this paper is to describe a new soil-inhabiting species of Pachyseius, compare it with other noticeably similar species Pachyseius angustus Hyatt, 1956 and provide an updated list of the world fauna of the genus. ...

Mites of the family Pachylaelapidae Berlese, 1913 are a group of predatory mites with free-living species, feeding on arthropods and soil-inhabiting nematodes. Identification of these mites is difficult, because of morphological similarities in a significant number of species and also the fact that new taxons descriptors have referred to some morphological features that have not sufficient distinction criteria to differentiate them from close taxons. Therefore, the use of new identification methods can be helpful in this context. In the present study, along with identification, based on morphological characteristics and size (morphometric identification), we used a molecular method, based on the sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene to identify two species Olopachys compositus Koroleva, 1976 and Olopachys caucasicus Koroleva, 1976. After DNA extraction, ITS region were amplified and sequenced, using the appropriate primers and afterward the sequences were recorded in GeneBank. Alignment of sequences was performed and the genetic differences between species was calculated as 2.3 percent. As a result of these investigations, in addition to the separation of the two species O. compositus and O. caucasicus based on morphological differences, the molecular method also well confirmed the difference between these two species.
