Notes.
Hypoaspis phyllognathi
was described from beetles in the genus
Phyllognathus
in
Egypt
and
Israel
by Costa (1971), and has not been reported since. There are no published records of this species from
Iran
. The species is easily recognised by the long dorsal shield setae (apart from z1 and Z5, which are short), and the long dorso-distal seta
ad
1 on genu IV.
