“…The male reported from the Erzurum Province, Turkey has no tapering distally P-4, but there is no comment about medial seta on P-2 in the paper (Özkan and Boyacı 1994). Notwithstanding, the male reported by Smit and Van der Hammen (1992) from the Netherlands has a tapering distally P-4 and P-2 with one medial seta (Gerecke et al 2016).…”

“…Thus, Hygrobates nigromaculatus, which prefer standing waters, were found in these rivers. At the same time, a closely related species, H. setosus, which prefer fast-flowing rivers (Gerecke et al 2016;Tuzovsky 2017), and which are widespread in small rivers of Western Siberia, were not recorded.…”

In this work, we present the data pertaining to the fauna and ecology of water mites found in the water bodies of the Bolshoy Yugan River Basin in the vicinity of the Yugansky State Nature Reserve. The Bolshoy Yugan River, Nyogusyakh River, Lake Yegipamynglor, as well as a number of floodplain lakes were studied. We collected 29 species of water mites from 12 families, including a rare species, Lebertia oblonga Koenike, 1911. The distribution and seasonal dynamics of these water mites were investigated. In the rivers, water mites are represented by rheophilous fauna, which, albeit its regular occurrence in samples, is low in abundance and diversity of species. The fauna of stagnant waters is more numerous and diverse, and is represented by eurytopic species. Only two of the eurytopic species are common to rivers and lakes.

“…Members of the clade Hydrachnidia (Acari Actinotrichida) mainly inhabit continental waters [ 2 ] and are characterized by three main active life stages—larval, deutonymph and adult—with intermediate dormant stages [ 3 ]. Deutonymphs and adults share a characteristic morphology and may be identified through diagnostic characters.…”

The systematics of many groups of organisms has been based on the adult stage. Morphological transformations that occur during development from the embryonic to the adult stage make it difficult (or impossible) to identify a juvenile (larval) stage in some species. Hydrachnidia (Acari, Actinotrichida, which inhabit mainly continental waters) are characterized by three main active stages—larval, deutonymph and adult—with intermediate dormant stages. Deutonymphs and adults may be identified through diagnostic morphological characters. Larvae that have not been tracked directly from a gravid female are difficult to identify to the species level. In this work, we compared the morphology of five water mite larvae and obtained the molecular sequences of that found on a pupa of the common mosquito Culex (Culex) pipiens with the sequences of 51 adults diagnosed as Arrenurus species and identified the undescribed larvae as Arrenurus (Micruracarus) novus. Further corroborating this finding, adult A. novus was found thriving in the same mosquito habitat. We established the identity of adult and deutonymph A. novus by morphology and by correlating COI and cytB sequences of the water mites at the larval, deutonymph and adult (both male and female) life stages in a particular case of ‘reverse taxonomy’. In addition, we constructed the Arrenuridae phylogeny based on mitochondrial DNA, which supports the idea that three Arrenurus subgenera are 'natural': Arrenurus, Megaluracarus and Micruracarus, and the somewhat arbitrary distinction of the species assigned to the subgenus Truncaturus.
