Mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea are commonly known as gall mites, blister mites, bud mites, rust mites, erinose
mites, and simply eriophyoids. They are of high economic importance and exhibit a very high host specialization. These
mites may be plant pests, vectors of plant pathogens, weed biological control agents, and food sources for predators. In
some cases, their galls provide recoveries to wintering, egg laying, and growing a large population of natural enemies.
This superfamily comprises of three families that family Eriophyidae is the biggest of them. During eriophyid mite faunal
study conducted in Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University in summer 2017, sampling was done on plants of two villages
of East Azerbaijan province including Hejavan in Marand region, Esfahlan in Tabriz region and Zangi in Shabestar region
of East Azerbaijan province. Their eriophyid mites were extracted by washing method and microscopic slide mounted by
using the modified Hoyer medium. In this study 10 species belonging to four genera were identified in which one species
was a new record for mite fauna of the world and two species were new records for mite fauna of Iran that marked with
