Abstract


Two new species of oribatid mites of the family Oppiidae Sellnick, 1937, Lauroppia iranica sp. nov. and Lauroppia persiangulfia sp. nov., are described from Mazandaran province, Northern Iran. These two new species are characterized by their long sensillus, with a bipectinate fusiform head and seven medium long barbs in L. iranica and a pectinate head and six long barbs in L. persiangulfia. Also an identification key to the Iranian species of Lauroppia is given.
