Four species of eriophyoid mites are recorded from Iran, of which three represent new records and the other is a new species. These species are: Brevulacus salicinus n. sp. (Diptilomiopidae), found on Salix sp. (Salicaceae); Aceria wallichianae Keifer, 1975 from Ulmus minor (Ulmaceae); Aceria granulata Carmona, 1972 from Verbascum spp. (Scrophulariaceae) and Tegnacus unicornutus Pye, 2012 from Carpinus betulus (Betulaceae). Each of these species are illustrated and provided with data regarding their distribution and host plants.

Article Synopsis
- - The E. sabinae complex, a group of small arthropods within the Eriophyoidea, presents challenges in identifying distinct species due to their similar physical traits and limited morphological variation.
- - By analyzing thousands of genetic data points from 55 specimens, researchers identified ten separate species within this complex, demonstrating both genetic isolation and instances of gene flow among them.
- - The study indicates that these species experienced rapid evolutionary changes and distinct population sizes during the Quaternary period, showcasing the complexity of species delimitation and the potential for genetic mixing across species lines.

Background: Eriophyoid mites (Eriophyoidea) are among the largest groups in the Acariformes; they are strictly phytophagous. The higher-level phylogeny of eriophyoid mites, however, remains unresolved due to the limited number of available morphological characters-some of them are homoplastic. Nevertheless, the eriophyoid mites sequenced to date showed highly variable mitochondrial (mt) gene orders, which could potentially be useful for resolving the higher-level phylogenetic relationships.

Phytoparasitic mites of the superfamily Eriophyoidea Nalepa live and feed on mature leaf surfaces, between leaf bud scales, and (though less commonly) on flowers or fruits. In this study, we focused on the seasonal associations of two eriophyoid species, (Nalepa 1892) with the Norway maple tree ( L.), and Manson 1984 with the common oak ( L.
