Abstract

A new mite species, Ledermuelleriopsis dogani sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on material collected from Euonymus japonicus Thunberg (Celastraceae) and Pinus pinea L. (Pinaceae) at Marvdasht, Fars province. The dorsal setae of the new species are clavate-spinose and the coxisternal shields are smooth. A key to all known world species of the genus is given.
