| Abstract: |
| During series of surveys on mesostigmatic mites of Russia in 2020, mites were collected from different regions and habitats including in association with insects. Host insects were collected individual handpicking and placed in vials with 96% ethanol and their associated mites were removed by the fine brush. Mites were extracted from the soil, ants’ nests and plant hosts using Berlese–Tullgren funnels, and then all mites were cleared in lactic acid solution and finally mounted in Hoyer’s medium on microslides. As a result, 28 species belong to 13 genera, and six families were recorded for the first time from Russia. The name of the host is written in square brackets after the stage of the mite that is found associated with its host: Laelapidae: Gaeolaelaps zhoumanshuae (Ma, 1997) ♀ [soil-litter]; G. glabrosimilis (Hirschmann, Bernhard, Greim and Gotz, 1969) ♀, ♂ [Lasius fuliginosus Latreille]; G. brevipilis (Hirschmann, Bernhard, Greim & Götz, 1969) ♀ [soil-litter]; G. debilis (Ma, 1996) ♀, ♂ [soil-litter, Formica sp.]; G. lenis Vatankhah & Nemati, 2016 ♀, ♂ [Formica sp.]; G. altaiensis Joharchi, 2021 ♀, ♂ [Lasius sp. ]; G. euparadactylifer Joharchi, 2021 ♀, ♂ [moss on the shore of the lake]; G. heteroceri Trach, 2106 ♀ [Heterocerus sp.]; G. mossadeghi Kavianpour & Nemati, 2013 ♀ [soil-litter]; Hypoaspisella pini (Hirschmann, Bernhard, Greim and Götz, 1969) ♀ [rotten siberian spruce stump]; H. rigensis (Lapina, 1976) ♀ [soil-litter]; H. intermedius (Bernhard, in Hirschman et al, 1969) ♀ [soil-litter]; Cosmolaelaps lutegiensis (Shcherbak, 1973) ♀ [soil-litter]; Holostaspis flexuosa (Michael, 1891) ♀ [Camponotus herculeanus (L.)]; Laelaspis formicaphilus Joharchi & Abramov, 2020 ♀, ♂ [Formica cunicularia Latreille]; Pogonolaelaps canestrinii (Berlese, 1892) ♀ [soil-litter]; Melicharidae: Proctolaelaps epuraeae Hirschmann, 1962 ♀ [Cucujus sp.]; Eviphididae: Scamaphis equestris (Berlese, 1911) [Geotrupes sp.]; Digamasellidae: Dendrolaelaps sinodendronis (Wisniewski & Hirschmann, 1989) ♀, DN [Sinodendron sp.]; Ascidae: Antennoseius (Vitzthumia) granulatus (Willmann, 1949) ♀, ♂ [in soil of salt marsh]; Phytoseiidae: Amblyseius ampullosus (Wu & Lan, 1991) ♀, ♂ [soil-litter]; A. silvaticus (Chant, 1959) ♀, ♂ [bark of Picea obovata]; A. myrtilli (Papadoulis, Emmanouel & Kapaxidi, 2009) ♀ [soil-litter]; Neoseiulus caucasicus (Khaustov et al., 2021) ♀ [soil-litter]; Typhlodromips montanus (Wainstein, 1962) ♀, ♂ [herbaceous plants]; Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) montanus (Chant and Yoshida-Shaul, 1978) ♀ [Prunus padus L.]; T.
