Research Abstract

Mite fauna of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is poorly studied. Based on published works, only 26 species (representing three orders, 18 families and 24 genera) were previously reported from coleopteran insects, plants, leaf litter and soil. This paper reports 11 new records of mites from the emirate of Dubai. A checklist of the taxa reported from the UAE to date is presented.
