Three new records of Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata) in Syria, with a key to Syrian species

Two genera and three species of the family Phytoseiidae (Acari: Mesostigmata), Paragigagnathus insuetus (Livshitz & Kuznetsov), Euseius ovalis (Evans), and Neoseiulella litoralis (Swirski & Amitai), are reported for the first time from Syria. Additional morphological information and new illustrations for the new records, as well as an identification key for the Syrian species of Phytoseiidae, are presented.
