The astigmatic mites are cosmopolitan and some species are the most important pests of stored products. During 2006-2007, a faunal study was carried out to collect and identify rice stored mites in Guilan Province, Northern Iran. Infected rice samples were collected and taken to acarology laboratory Agriculture College, University of Guilan. The mites were extracted by Berlese funnel and cleared in lactophenol; they were mounted in Hoyer’s medium on microscopic slides and identified using available references. During this study, 9 species of Astigmata belonging to four families and 9 genera, were collected and identified. Among them 8 species considered to be new records for Guilan Province mite fauna which are marked by an asterisk (*). The list of identified species is as follow:
