Abstract Two new larval species of Erythraeus from western Iran, namely: E. (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov. from a green lacewing, Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navas) and E. (Z.) hamedanicus sp. nov. from a firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus L. (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) are illustrated and described. A key to the world species is given. Key words: Acari, Erythraeidae, Erythraeus (Zaracarus), ectoparasite, Hamedan, Iran
Introduction Members of the subgenus Erythraeus (Zaracarus) Southcott, 1995 are mostly ectoparasites of phytophagous insects such as aphids, leaf hoppers and firebugs (Goldarazena & Zhang 1998; Saboori 2000; this manuscript) but also entomophagous insects like dolichopodid flies and green lacewings (Southcott 1995; this manuscript). Several records are also from plants, where larvae presumably roam in search of host insects (Table 1). This subgenus is represented in the Canary Islands, Hungary, Iran, Poland, Spain, Turkey and Greece (Haitlinger 1987, 1997, 2000, 2006; Fain & Ripka 1998; Haitlinger & Saboori 1996; Saboori 2000; Saboori & Nowzari 2001; Saboori & Akrami 2001; Saboori et al. 2004a, b; Southcott 1995; Goldarazena & Zhang 1998; Khanjani & Ueckermann 2005). To date 17 species are described in the world (Table 1). In this paper the eighteenth and nineteenth species, E. (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov. ectoparasitic on a green lacewing, Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navas) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), from Razan, Hamedan, and E. (Z.) hamedanicus sp. nov., ectoparasitic on a firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus L. (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae), from Hamedan, Iran, are described here.
Material and methods In order to collect neuropteran fauna of Hamedan province, light traps were established at two different stations, namely: Razan, Shahanjarin (35º 13′ 22″ N, 49º 10′ 16″ E and altitude 1825 m a.s.l) and College of Agriculture, Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan (34º 48′ N, 48º 28′ E and altitude 1820 m a.s.l.), Iran. Both traps operated from mid July to late September 2009 and were emptied at 8 AM each day. The materials collected by light traps were preserved in 70% alcohol. The mites were separated from green lacewings and firebugs directly under the stereomicroscope and mounted directly on microscope slides in Hoyer’s medium. Drawings were made by means of a Camera Lucida mounted on an Olympus BX51 compound microscope. The terminology follows Haitlinger (2003) and Goldarazena & Zhang (1998). The holotypes are deposited in the Acari Collection of the Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Bu Ali-Sina University, Hamedan, Iran. and one paratype of each new species will be deposited in the Arachnida Collection of ARCPlant Protection Research Institute, Pretoria, South Africa. Measurements are given in micrometers (μm). Accepted by O. Seeman: 5 Jun. 2010; published: 15 Jul. 2010

Subgenus Erythraeus (Zaracarus) Southcott Type species: E. (Z.) lancifer Southcott, 1995: 223.
The subgenus Zaracarus can easily be recognized by the following combination of characters: antero- lateral setae (AL) with or without expansion basally but tapered distally (Goldarazena, A. & Zhang, Z.Q. 1998); AL longer than postero-lateral scutal setae (PL); scutum oval or trapezoid; dorsal idiosomal setae thicker than opisthogastral setae; anterior sensilla (AM) are situated in obliquely-set sockets with cuticular structures (Haitlinger, 1998). These sockets are absent in all the species of the subgenus Erythraeus s.str.

Erythraeus (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov. (Figs. 1–13) Type material. Holotype and 14 paratype larvae from Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navas) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), Shahanjarin, Razan (35º 13′ 22″ N, 49º 10′ 16″ E and altitude 1825 m a.s.l), Hamedan Province, 8 June, 2009, Aboulghasem Rezai-Nahad. Description. For measurements see table 2. Dorsum (Figs. 1–2). Prodorsal scutum with two pairs of barbed setae (AL and PL) and two pairs of barbed sensilla (AM and S). Anterior sensilla (AM) very short, situated in obliquely positioned sockets or trichobothria. Posterior sensilla (S) long and barbed. Anterolateral setae (AL) not expanded basally and acute points and posterolaterals (PL) less than half the length of AL. Scutum almost hexagonal with anterior margins straight and posterior concave (Fig. 2). Opisthosoma with 31 long, barbed setae and two pairs of unequally in diameter eyes anterolaterally (Fig. 1). Venter (Fig. 3). With a pair of setae between coxae I (1a) and III (3a). Opisthogaster with seven pairs of barbed setae. Ventral setae are narrower than dorsal setae. Gnathosoma (Figs. 4–6). Infracapitulum with one pair of hypostomal (Hy) 54 (52) and adoral setae (or) 38 (41) (Fig. 6). Palp five-segmented; femur and genu each with one barbed seta; tibia with three barbed setae, with tibial claw bifurcate (Fig. 4); tarsus with seven setae, one of which is longer than others (including eupathidium), one eupathidium and one solenidion (Fig. 4). Legs (Figs. 7–13). Leg setae barbed. Legs six segmented (coxae excluded) with divided femora. Tarsi terminate into two lateral claws and a claw-like empodium. Chaetotaxy of segments as follows: coxae 1-1-1; trochanters 1-1-1; basifemora 3-3-3; telofemora 5-5-5; genua 8+1σ+1k - 8+1k - 8; tibiae 14+2ϕ +1Cp+1κ 15+2ϕ - 14+1ϕ; tarsi 25+2ζ+1ω - 22+2ζ+1ω - 23+1ζ. Remarks. Erythraeus (Zaracarus) soleimanii sp. nov. belongs to the species group of the subgenus Zaracarus with basifemoral setal formula 3-3-3. It is closely related to E. (Z.) aydinicus, E. (Z.) sibulginicus, E. (Z.) lancifer, E. (Z.) kastaniensis, E. (Z.) passidonicus, E. (Z.) longipedus, E. (Z.) fabiolae, E. (Z.) rajabii, E. (Z.) lancifer, E. (Z.) passidonicus and E. (Z.) kastaniensis. However, it differs from all these species by differences in measurements and numbers of setae. (Tables 4–5).

Legs (Figs. 20–28). Legs six segmented (coxae excluded) with femora divided. Tarsi terminate into two lateral claws and a claw-like empodium. Leg setae barbed. Chaetotaxy of segments as follows: coxae 1-1-1; trochanters 1-1-1; basifemora 2-2-2; telofemora 5-5-5; genua 8+1σ+1κ - 8+1κ - 8; tibiae 14+2ϕ+1Cp+1κ 15+2ϕ - 15+1ϕ; tarsi 24+2ξ+1ω+1ε - 21+2ξ+1ω - 21+1ξ. Remarks. The news species belongs to the group of species of which the setal formula of the basifemora are 2-2-2. It is closely related to E. (Z.) kurdistanensis, E. (Z.) iranicus, E. (Z.) perciosus, E. (Z.) budapestensis, E. (Z.) didonae, E. (Z.) tehranicus, E. (Z.) eleonorae and E. (Z.) ueckermanni, E. (Z.) kharrazii.
