The aim of this study was to identify and introduce the eriophyoid mites of the Arbab Kandi village rangelands in Meshginshahr county. We randomly sampled the dominant plants of the area in the 2020 growing season and prepared microscopic slides from the extracted mites. We identified two subfamilies, three tribes, five genera and 10 species of eriophyoid mites, including Aceria bendeguzi Ripka 2015, which was a new record for the Iranian fauna.
