Abstract

A new species of Weiseronyssus (Mesostigmata: Diplogyniidae) is described from adult females and males taken from Oryctes nasicornis (L.) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in northern Iran. The genus was previously known from a single species associated with an undetermined dynastine scarab from southern China. The generic diagnosis is updated and a key to the genera of Diplogyniidae is presented.
