The superfamily Bdelloidea (snout mites) are counted active predatory and cosmopolitan mites in suborder Prostigmata. They are recorded from plants, mosses, litter, decomposing bark, soil and with wide variety of prey e.g. nematodes, insects and other mites (den Heyer, 1981; Walter and Kaplan, 1991). In this study, fauna of bdelloid mites (Bdellidae and Cunaxidae) from Tyserkan region, Hamedan province, Western Iran was carried out during 2017. The specimens were collected from soil and litter under trees (apricot and walnut), lichen and areas of river bank by using a Berlese-Tullgren funnel. The mites were prepared on microscope slides with Hoyer’s medium, dried at 50° for one week, covered with insulating varnish, and examined with an Olympus BX51 phase contrast microscope. The identified species were as follows (2 familiese:12 species belonging to 8 genera): Bdellidae: B. muscorum Ewing; Bdella sp.; Cyta leliae Eghbalian et al.; Hexabdella quercusi Eghbalian et al.; Odontoscirus denheyeri Eghbalian et al.; Spinibdella pourmirzaei Eghbalian et al.; Spinibdella sp.; Cunaxidae: Cunaxa capreolus Berlese; Cunaxa setirostris (Hermann); Cunaxa sp.; Cunaxoides decastroae den Heyer et al.; Lupaeus iranensis den Heyer et al.
