title: Two new species of microdispid mites (Acari: Heterostigmata: Pygmephoroidea) associated with Lucanus ibericus (Coleoptera: Lucanidae)
abstract: Two new species of the microdispid mites (Acari: Microdispidae) phoretic on Lucanus ibericus are described from Iran: Premicrodispus gorganiensis Rahiminejad and Seyedein sp. nov. and Neomicrodispus lucani Rahiminejad and Seyedein sp. nov.
