Abstract

The Raphignatoidea members occure as predators in a variety of terrestrial and semi-aquatic habitats in litter, tree bark, moss, soli, and plants. During 2012-2013 different samples were taken from soils of orchards, weeds and crops and their aerial parts in Zanjan county. Sampeles were transferd to the labratory and separated using Berlese/Tullgren setup. Then microscopic slides were prepared and identified. Twoelve species from 5 genera were identified as follow: Caligonellidae: Caligonella humilis (Koch, 1838), Molothrognathus bahariensis Ueckermann & Khanjani, 2002, Neognathus rijabicus Nazari et al., 2013, Neognathus terrestris Summers & Schlinger, 1955; Camerobiidae: Neophyllobius asalii Khanjani & Ueckermann, 2006, Neophyllobius edwardi Ahmad Hoseini & Khanjani, 2013, Neophyllobius persiensis Khanjani & Ueckermann, 2002, Neophyllobius zolfigolii Khanjani et al., 2010; Raphignathidae: Raphignathus hecmataniensis Khanjani and Ueckermann, 2003, Raphignathus ensiplopsis Meyer & Ueckermann, 1989, Raphignathus protapsus Khanjani & Ueckermann, 2002., Raphignathus zhaoi Hu Ging & Liang, 1995The Raphignatoidea members occure as predators in a variety of terrestrial and semi-aquatic habitats in litter, tree bark, moss, soli, and plants.
