This survey of the distribution of the water mite species (Acari: Hydrachnidia, Hygrobatidae) of the genus Atractides Koch in Iran is based on all published data so far and numerous new records. Five new species are described, viz. Atractides markaziensis Pesic, A. mossahebii Pesic, A. mirkopesici Pesic, A. gereckei Pesic, and A. nikooae Pesic; a first description is given for the male of Atractides cf. lunipes Lundblad, 1956; a redescription are given for Atractides baderi Schwoerbel & Sepasgozarian, 1976, Atractides nahavandii Schwoerbel & Sepasgozarian, 1976, and Atractides fluviatilis (Szalay, 1929); first records from Iran are given for Atractides acutirostris (Motas & C.Angelier, 1927), A. robustus (Sokolow, 1940) and A. inflatus (Walter, 1925).

Using published records and original data from recent research, a checklist was compiled of the water mite (Acari: Hydrachnidia) fauna of India. It includes 275 species in 70 genera and 25 families of water mites. The new records of 23 water mite species are reported; one species Wuria indica is described as new for science; a first description of the male is given for Wuria sumatrensis K. Viets, 1935. The present state of knowledge of the Indian water mite fauna is discussed.

This is the first record of the genus Ljania Thor, 1898 (Axonopsinae, Aturidae, Hydrachnidiae, Acari) from China. Two new species, Ljania jini sp. nov. and Ljania guangxiensis sp. nov., are described from Guangxi Province, P. R. China. The new detections bring the total number of Chinese aturid mites to eleven species, representing seven genera.

Species of the mite genus Protzia Piersig, 1896 are diverse and sometimes highly abundant freshwater mites. Here, we provide COI barcodes for five species (Protzia rugosa, P. rotunda, P. halberti, P. cabardinica, P. longiacetabulata) and use them for species delimitation analyses accompanied with morphological comparisons. As a result, we resurrected the species P. cabardinica (Sokolow, 1940). Based on morphology only, we describe three new species, P. kyrgyzica sp. nov. and P. tienshanensis sp. nov., from Kyrgyzstan and P. iranica sp. nov. from southern Iran. Furthermore, we describe the male of P. longiacetabulata from Turkey, which was not known previously.

Three new water mite (Acari: Hydrachnidia) species are described from Tasmania, Tasmanobates separatus sp. nov., Procorticacarus karanovici sp. nov. and Guineaxonopsis tasmanica sp. nov. The material was collected in 2008 during a biological survey by Tom and Ivana Karanović (Hobart, Tasmania) from surface and interstitial waters of Tasmania. Moreover, a detailed description of Litarachna cf. amnicola Cook, 1986 is given.
