Abstract
|
During a survey on Eriophyoid Mites in southwest of East Azerbaijan province (Iran), Aceria zygofabae n. sp.
and Aceria alkannae n. sp. were found on Zygophyllum fabago L. (Zygophyllaceae) and Alkanna bracteosa
Boiss. (Boraginaceae), respectively. They are described and illustrated here. Four further Aceria species were
collected and identified as A. eucricotes (Nalepa, 1892), A. cynodonis Wilson, 1959, A. chenopodia Xue,
Sadeghi & Hong, 2009 and A. tristriata (Nalepa, 1890) (protogyne and deutogyne). Aceria cynodonis is a new
record for Iran Eriophyoid fauna whereas the other species were found for the first time in East Azerbaijan.
