摘要:
A survey is given of our state of knowledge on the water mite fauna of Central Asia. As is documented in Table 1, documentation of this fauna is biased towards species living in standing waters. The present study is based on the analysis of all available bibliography and material collected in July 2013 during a joint collecting trip of the authors in Kyrgyzstan. Six species of water mites are described as yet new to science, representing the families Hydryphantidae (Wandesia albertii n. sp.), Torrenticolidae (Torrenticola kyrgyzica n. sp.) and Hygrobatidae (Atractides grigorievka n. sp., A. manasi n. sp., A. alaarchaensis n. sp. and A. sonkulensis n. sp.)
