A new species of Olopachys Berlese (Acari: Pachylaelapidae) from Iran with a key to the world species

“…Olopachys is a relatively small genus that currently includes 22 described species from the Western Palaearctic Region (Berlese 1910;Sellnick 1950;Reitblatt 1958;Koroleva 1976;Mašán 2007aMašán , 2007bÖzbek 2014;Özbek and Halliday 2015;Özbek 2016). Olopachys was redefined by Koroleva (1977), Karg (1993), Mašán (2007aMašán ( , 2007b and Mašán and Halliday (2014) and treated as a genus by these authors, although Berlese (1910) had originally considered it as a subgenus of Pachylaelaps.…”
