(Acari: Calyptostomatidae) is described and illustrated from larvae ectoparasitic on Limonia caucasica Lackschewitz, 1940 (Diptera: Tipulidae) from Shast Kalateh forest, Gorgan, Golestan Province, Northern Iran. It is the first report of the representatives of the superfamily Calyptostomatoidea from the Middle East. Calyptostoma latiseta and C. simplexa are not synonymous with C. velutinum.
