During 2002-2003 a research was carried out on species abundance of edaphic Uropodoidea mites and spatial distribution of Nenteria stylifera (Berlese, 1904) in Tehran area. For this purpose. soil samples were taken from humus rich areas of orchards. parks and lawns of the region. Mites were extracted from the soils using Berlese-Tullgreen apparatus. In this study 10 species of three families were collected and identified. Five species are considered to be new records in Iran and one is probably new species, which are marked by one and two asterisks respectively. Mile species are listed according to their families as follows:
Family: Trematuridae Family: Urodinychidae
1- Nenteria sp.** 1- Uroobovella fimicola Berlese, 1903
2-Nenteria breviunguiculata* 2- U. marginata (Koch, 1839)
Willmann, 1904 3- U. obovata* Can and Berlese, 1834
3- Nenteria stylifera (Berlese, 1904) 4- U. pulchella* (Berlese, 1904)
4- Trichouropoda sp. Family: Uropodidae
5- Trichouropoda elegans* Kramer, 1-Uropoda orbicularis Muller, 1776 1882
Scientific names of the species which were new records for Iranian fauna were confirmed by international acarologists. Moreover, relative abundance of different species were also determined. In this study, P stylifera was collected in almost all soil samples, thus it was considered a dominant species of the region. Spatial distribution of N. stylifera was also determined as aggregate distribution using variance mean index and Taylor regression methods.
