Torrenticolid mites is a distinctive and a common component in running water in the Palaearctic, and often dominate in fast flowing streams in mountainous areas. The present study is based on material collected in 2021 in Bhutan. In total 17 species of the two torrenticolid genera Torrenticola Piersig, 1896 and Neoatractides Lundblad, 1941 are reported in this study. A detailed description is given for each species, facilitating their identification in future systematic surveys of Himalayan torrenticolid mites. In addition, seven species new to science of the genus Torrenticola are described, i.e., T. longiseta sp. nov., T. brachypalpis sp. nov., T. trongsaensis sp. nov.., T. dbgurungi sp. nov.., T. himalayica sp. nov., T. ancylopalpis sp. nov. T. megapalpis sp. nov.). Furthermore, one new species of the genus Neoatractides is described in this paper, i.e., N. (Allotorenticola) tashiwangmoi sp. nov.

Plap with serrated ventral extensions was also found in a small number of torrenticolid mites, such as T. dentifera Wiles, 1991(Gu et al 2020b, T. dentipalpis Jin, 1997(Jin 1997, T. alargada Goldschmidt, 2007(Goldschmidt 2007 and T. turkestanica (Sokolow, 1926) (Pešić & Smit 2009). However, the aforementioned torrenticolid mites only have a regular (rod-shaped or rectangular) ventral extension on P-2.…”

Torrenticolid mites (Hydrachnidiae, Acari) are presented from Yintiaoling National Nature Reserve, China. Torrenticola multiserrater Gu & Guo sp. nov., and T. pseudoalargada Gu & Guo sp. nov. are described and illustrated as new to science; T. siamis Pešić & Smit, 2009 and T. nipponica (Enami, 1940) are reported as new records for Chongqing’s fauna. Meanwhile, this is the first report of Torrenticolidae from Chongqing, China.

“…In the number of species, the family Torrenticolidae is one of the largest groups of water mites. Until now, the total number of torrenticolid mites is about 600 worldwide, but only 38 species are known from China, including the three new species added in this paper (Gu et al 2019a(Gu et al , 2020a. This means that the Chinese torrenticolid mites fauna is largely unknown, and the identification of Chinese torrenticolid species will be a focus in the near future.…”
