Abstract
Two genera and four species of myrmecophilous microdispid mites (Acari: Heterostigmata: Microdispidae), associated with various ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), are recorded from northwestern Iran: Unguidispus japonicus Kurosa, 1979 phoretic on Lasius obscuratus Stitz, 1930, Caesarodispus samsinaki (Mahunka, 1967) on Formica sp., C. modestus (Berlese, 1903) on Messor sp. and C . minutus Sevastianov, 1981 on Tetramorium sp. The species C . samsinaki and U . japonicus are recorded for mite fauna of Iran for the first time. A new ant host record is also documented for U. japonicas. The world distributions of the recorded mites are presented. Moreover, all Iranian microdispid records, along with their host/habitat are reviewed and a key to their genera and species is provided.
