Abstract
Cunaxid mites are important predators of harmful mites, small soft bodied insects and their eggs. In order to
explore Cunaxidae from Punjab- Pakistan the survey resulted in the collection of two new species of genus
Armascirus i.e Armascirus asghari and Armascirus satianaensis. These were described and illustrated. Types are
deposited in the Acarology Research Laboratory University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. To incorporate
these new species, a key of all the known species of the genus Armascirus from Pakistan was also prepared.
Key words: Acari, cunaxidae, Armascirus, Punjab, Pakistan
