A new species of the genus Pseudoleptus Bruyant, 1911 (Tenuipalpidae), Pseudoleptus avicennai sp. nov., is described and
illustrated based on female specimens collected from bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon (Poaceae), in Iran. This is the first
report of C. dactylon as a host plant for Tenuipalpidae in Iran. In addition, the species Neopetrobia (Neopetrobia) mcgregori
(Pritchard & Baker, 1955) (Tetranychidae) and Linotetranus sibiriensis Khaustov & Khaustov, 2023 (Linotetranidae) are
recorded for the first time from Iran.
