“…The specimens were collected from infested date palms (Phoenix dactylifera) that showed signs of infection from the Safwan district south of Basra province (coordinates N 30º6´ 58.4 E 47º 39´ 12˝), during the period from 1 December 2020 to 1 March 2021. The two genera of mites were identified according to morphological characters described in many studies [20,21,22,23,24,25].…”

The red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790), which belongs to the family Curculionidae, order Coleoptera, is one of the most important palm pests, which leads to heavy losses in date palms. In the last few years, it has been recorded in Iraq, from Safwan city south of Iraq, where it was detected on date palm trees (Phoenix dactylifera L, Arecales: Arecaceae). In the current study, specimens of adult weevils were collected from infested date palms (Phoenix dactylifera), that showed signs of infection in Safwan district, south of Basra province. The results of the investigation showed the presence of phoretic mites associated with the red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790). Two genera of Uropodid mites, deutonymph, were attached by anal pedicel to body parts of adult red palm weevils. They were collected and identified as Centrouropoda (Uropodidae), and Uroovbovella (Urodinychidae), according to accurate taxonomic keys. The differentiation between two genera of mites was studied. The deutonymphs were examined and photographed by an AM Scop camera installed on a light microscope, and the insects were photographed by a LEICA microscope. The infestation symptoms were illustrated with pictures.

With more than 130 species, Eustigmaeus Berlese is one of the most diverse genera in the family Stigmaeidae. This genus has worldwide distribution, and with the exception of Antarctica, it is found in all zoogeographic regions. The adult female, adult male, deutonymph, protonymph, and larva of Eustigmaeus anauniensis (Canestrini) were known till now, but its immature male stage was unknown. In this study, five deutonymph male specimens of E. anauniensis were found in Türkiye. The description, illustrations of deutonymph males of E. anauniensis, and its measurements for some body parts were made. This is the first record of deutonymph male of E. anauniensis.

Two new species of Eustigmaeus Berlese (Acari: Stigmaeidae), E. incisus n. sp. and E. paraincisus n. sp. are described and illustrated from Türkiye. This paper presents compile checklist of the valid Eustigmaeus species. Eustigmaeus sphagneticolus Cooreman stat. nov., originally described as a subspecies of E. ottavii by Cooreman in 1943, is regarded as a separate species. Eustigmaeus aminiae (Nazari and Khanjani) n. comb.. and E. indiscretus (Dönel and Doğan) n. comb.. (from Ledermuelleriopsis Willmann) have a partially detached hysterosomal shield. Currently, we consider that these species belong more comfortably in Eustigmaeus than in Ledermuelleriopsis, where they are considered transitional species between the genera Eustigmaeus and Ledermuelleriopsis.
