During field surveys of eriophyoid mites in northeast Iran (Razavi Khorasan, Iran, summer 2023), two new vagrant eriophyid species (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) on Asteraceae plant species were discovered, illustrated and described. They are Aceria dorbadamiensis sp. nov. on Tripleurospermum disciforme (C.A.Mey.) Sch.Bip. and Aculus quchaniensis sp. nov. on Aster altaicus var. canescens (Nees) Serg. We reported an eriophyoid mite on plant genus Tripleurospermum for the first time. No apparent symptoms were observed on both host species.
