description Despite more than half a century passing since the first report of scutacarid mites from Iran, only 63 species belonging to seven genera have been recorded from various habitats across the country (Rahiminejad et al. 2023). The number is relatively small compared to the more than 800 species known worldwide, belonging to 26 genera (Baumann 2018; Rahiminejad et al. 2022a,2023). Despite Iran’s diverse climate, which is a result of its location between the Caspian Sea to the north and the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea to the south and also its topography, the number of recorded species is still low. However, the country’s rich flora and fauna are evident throughout the various habitats (Gholizadeh et al. 2020; Rahiminejad et al. 2020a; Rahiminejad et al. 2023).
