Nine species of Rhagidiidae, that is, Foveacheles brevichelae Zacharda, 1980; Foveacheles sp.; Brevipalpia minima Zacharda, 1980; Coccorhagidia clavifrons Canestrini, 1886; Coccorhagidia pittardi Strandtmann, 1971; Rhagidia sp.; Rhagidia cf. breviseta Zacharda, 1995; Robustocheles mucronata (Willmann, 1936); Robustocheles hamedanensis sp. nov., were identified in litter and soil in the sprayed commercial fruit orchards in the Iranian Hamedan and Ardabil provinces. All these species, except R. hamedanensis sp. nov. that is presently known only from Iran, have Holarctic or even worldwide distribution. A new species R. hamedanensis sp. nov. is described. This new taxon is authored by M. Zacharda only.
