New records of water mite (Acari: Hydrachnidia) species from Iran are presented. Seven species are recorded, of which six are new for the studied area. Nilotonia iranica is described as new to science. Trichotyas alborzensis Bader & Sepasgozarian, 1979, is synonimized with T. petrophila (Michael, 1895).
Keywords: Acari, water mites, taxonomy, new species, Iran
