“…Some species of this lineage are phoretic or parasitic on insects, mostly classified in Parasitengona and Heterostigmata cohorts, yet some other families like Cheyletidae and Dytiscacaridae have evolved parasitism (Walter et al 2009; Mortazavi et al 2018. Within Heterostigmata, the family Podapolipidae Ewing, 1922 with 32 genera and more than 290 described species, is one of the largest families in Prostigmata (Majidi et al 2019).

The ectoparasitic mite Podapolipoides chorthippus Majidi and Hajiqanbar n. sp. (Acari: Prostigmata: Podapolipidae), is described and illustrated from Fars province, southern Iran. Colonies of mites were recovered from pronotum and near hindwing bases of acridid grasshoppers, Chorthippus sp. (Orthoptera: Acrididae: Gomphocerinae). This is the first parasitism record of the genus Podapolipoides on grasshoppers of the genus Chorthippus.
