Abstract


Two new species of the genus Geckobia (Acari: Pterygosomatidae) — G. anocellatus sp.n. ex Eublepharis angramainyu (Eublepharoidea: Eublepharidae) from Iraq and G. hirsti sp.n. ex Tenuidactylus caspius (Gekkonoidea: Gekkonidae) from Turkmenistan are described. Host-parasite associations of the genus and species groups with different taxa of Gekkonomorpha are briefly discussed.
