| Summary: | Phyllocoptes abaenus Keifer, 1940 (Fig. 3 E) Type data . Prunus sp. (a plum; Rosaceae); San Mateo, San Mateo Co., California, USA. Relation to the host . This species is free-living on the lower leaf surface (Keifer 1975). Geographic distribution . Antarctic, Australian, Nearctic, Neotropical, Palaearctic. Distribution and host plants in Iran . 26 females and 1 male, from Azarshahr (37°46'24"N, 45°57'20"E), 1,353 m above sea level, on P. domestica (Rosaceae), 2 August 2011; 7 females and 2 males, from Azarshahr (37°46'24"N, 45°57'20"E), 1,353 m above sea level, on P. armeniaca (Rosaceae), 2 August 2011; 27 females, Kandovan village, Osku (37°47'31''N, 46°14'57''E), about 2,243 m above sea level, on Cerasus vulgaris Mill. (Rosaceae), 1 August 2011. All coll. P. Lotfollahi. Remarks . This is the first record of P. abaenus from Iran. The morphometry of the female matches the original description by Keifer (1940) but the opisthosomal setae d (49–70) in the Iranian specimens are slightly longer than reported in Keifer’s description, possibly due to differences in the quality of microscope equipment.
