(Buxaceae); Halle am Saale, Sachsen, Germany. Relation to the host plant Leaf deformation, flower blasting; hairy bud gall-making (2 – 4 mm diameter); shortening of internodes (Nalepa 1930; Baker et al. 1996; Soika and Labanowski 1999). Localities and host plant 30 females, 5 males and 7 nymphs collected during March and July from Buxus sempervirens hyrcana (Pojark.) Takht. (Buxaceae) in Cheshmeh Bolbol, Bander Gaz, Golestan province, Iran. Previous provincial records for Iran This is the first report of this mite from Iran. Remarks Iranian female characters largely matches the short original description and summarized drawings made by Keifer (Baker et al. 1996). However, the Iranian specimens are longer [182 – 205 versus 170 in Baker et al. (1996)] and their coxae are mainly smooth with few dashes on coxae I, while according to Baker et al. (1996) coxae ornamented with few curved lines, lines, dashes and lines of granules. In addition the Iranian specimens have shorter seta d (30 – 40) than Nalepa described specimens with 56 long setae d. µm for AD, AL, CG, GM, IG, PM; 5 µm for LO, L 1; 2.5 µm for em.	en	Arbabi, Masoud, Lotfollahi, Parisa, Abaii, Mansour, Alazmai, Mohammad, Baradaran, Parvaneh (2017): Eriophyoid (Trombidiformes: Eriophyoidea) mite species associated with boxes worldwide with a new record of Eriophyes canestrinii (Nalepa, 1890) from Iran.
