Abstract
During field surveys of eriophyoid mites in northeast Iran (Razavi Khorasan, Iran, summer 2023), two new vagrant eriophyoid species (Acari: Eriophyoidea: Eriophyidae) on Lamiaceae plants were discovered, illustrated and described. They are Aceria borselaniensis sp. nov. on Hymenocrater calycinus Benth. and Aculus khorasanii sp. nov. on Salvia yangii B.T.Drew. Furthermore, the checklists and morphological keys of Aceria and Aculus mite species associated with Lamiaceae plants around the world are provided.
