Abstract

A new species Valgothrombium takhtii Saberi-Riseh and Saboori n. sp. (Acari: Microtrombidiidae: Valgothrombiinae) is described and illustrated based on larvae collected from soil, i.e. off their host from Riseh village, Shahre Babak city, Kerman province, Iran. This is the first record of Valgothrombium for Iranian mite fauna and 15th species of the genus based on the larva. In Asia, the genus Valgothrombium is reported from China, Bhutan, Yemen from larval form, and Japan and Malaysia from post-larval forms.
