Records of halacarid species collected in the Norwegian Exclusive Economic Zone are summarized, and three new records are added. The list of halacarids includes 45 marine species in 15 genera and two species belonging to two freshwater genera. To each genus a short diagnosis is given, and to each species information about original descriptions, as well as recently published details about the morphology, geography and habitat is provided. The fauna of Norway, compared to that of other eastern North Atlantic coastlines, is poor. We can expect that in the course of further collecting activities, spanning from the tidal zone to deep-sea basins, the number of species will be distinctly more than doubled.

Svalbard is a singular region to study biodiversity. Located at a high latitude and geographically isolated, the archipelago possesses widely varying environmental conditions and unique flora and fauna communities. It is also here where particularly rapid environmental changes are occurring, having amongst the fastest increases in mean air temperature in the Arctic. One of the most common and species-rich invertebrate groups in Svalbard is the mites (Acari). We here describe the characteristics of the Svalbard acarofauna, and, as a baseline, an updated inventory of 178 species (one Ixodida, 36 Mesostigmata, 43 Trombidiformes, and 98 Sarcoptiformes) along with their occurrences. In contrast to the Trombidiformes and Sarcoptiformes, which are dominated in Svalbard by species with wide geographical distributions, the Mesostigmata include many Arctic species (39%); it would thus be an interesting future study to determine if mesostigmatid communities are more affected by global warming then other mite groups. A large number of new species (42 spp.) have been described from Svalbard, including 15 that have so far been found exclusively there. It is yet uncertain if any of these latter species are endemic: six are recent findings, the others are old records and, in most cases, impossible to verify. That the Arctic is still insufficiently sampled also limits conclusions concerning endemicity.
