Field surveys were conducted in the plum orchards, in the vicinity of Hamedan. Two new species of eriophyoid mites were found and described for the first time from this region: Diptacus hamedanicussp. nov. and Tetra prunurasp. nov. Both new species infest Prunus domestica (L.) (Rosaceae) and are vagrant on host plant; no symptom was detected.
