Three new records of eriophyoid mites (Acari: Eriophyoidea) from Iran
One genus and 3 species are reported as new records for the fauna of Iran. They are Eriophyes tiliae (Nalepa, 1890) on Tilia begonifolia (Tiliaceae); Aceria tuberculatus Nalepa, 1891 on Tanacetum parthenium (Asteraceae); and Leipothrix liroi (Roiv., 1947) Jocic and Petanovic (2012) on Primula sp. (Primulaceae).
