A new record for Iranian false spider mites with key to the known species of Tenuipalpidae (Acari: Prostigmata) in Iran

Abstract

Cenopalpus ruber Wainstein is reported for the first time from apple leaves in Zanjan province located in the northwest of Iran. Tenuipalpus pistaciae Sepasgozarian and Pentamerismus kamalii Barimani reported from Iran are considered as invalid species names. An identification key is also provided to distinguish known species of Tenuipalpidae from Iran
