The cosmopolitan mite family of Cheyletidae includes more than 360 predacious and parasitic species in 73 genera (Bochkov & Fain, 2001). Predacious species occur on plants, soil and stored products, as well as in vertebrate nests where they feed on mites or small insects (Volgin, 1987; Gerson et al., 1999; Gerson et al., 2003). Bochkov et al. (2005) reviewed the Iranian Cheyletidae and included a key to 18 genera and 28 species. Herein we report six species of cheyletid mites associated with stored rice in Guilan province, Iran, including the first report of Chelacheles strabismus Baker from Iran. A key for their identification is provided.
