Two new mite species from Madagascar, based on female specimens, viz. Armascirus skvarlai sp. nov. and Cunaxa corpuzrarosae sp. nov. (Acari: Prostigmata: Cunaxidae), are described and figured. Armascirus skvarlai sp. nov. differs from the related species A. gimpeli Smiley, 1992 by having long hysterosomal platelets, thin and long lateromedial sts on the palpal genu, and from A. ozarkensis Skvarla & Dowling, 2012 by having a cone-shaped proterosomal shield with straight lateral edges, and by its nearly triangular hysterosomal shield. Cunaxa corpuzrarosae sp. nov. differs from the related species C. potchensis Den Heyer, 1979 by having 4 pairs of sts between coxae IV and the genital region, and by having a short stout palpal femoral apophysis; and from C. mageei Smiley, 1992 and C. neogazella Smiley, 1992 by having much shorter hysterodorsal and palpal tibiotarsal setae.

Two new mite species of the genus Cunaxa are described based on female specimens in Vietnam: Cunaxa oblongostriata sp. n. and C. sergeyenkoi sp. n. (Acari: Prostigmata: Cunaxidae). Cunaxa oblongostriata sp. n. differs from the related species, C. setirostris (Hermann, 1804), in having the propodosomal shield triangular and longitudinal striae between dorsal setae d1–d1; while in C. setirostris, the propodosomal shield is trapezoidal and striae between setae d1–d1 are transversal. Cunaxa sergeyenkoi sp. n. differs from two related species, C. bochkovi Khaustov & Kuznetsov, 1998 and C. womersleyi Baker and Hoffmann, 1948, by the basifemoral chetotaxy of legs I–IV: 4-4-2-1 sts; while C. bochkovi and C. womersleyi have the basifemoral chaetotaxy I–IV: 3-3-3-1 sts and 4-4-3-1 sts, respectively.

Four members of the family Renicolidae are described from Heron I., Australia. Adults of two new species are found in the kidneys of the black noddy, Anous minutus. Of these, Renicola foliata, sp. nov., differs from related species in the position of the ovary and testes, in the lobate gonads, in egg size, and in the presence of an oesophagus. R. caudescens, sp. nov., is distinguished by its body size, the lobation and position of the testes, the distribution of the vitellarian follicles and the size of the oral sucker. Also described are a renicolid metacercaria from the musculature of an atherinid fish, and a renicolid cercaria (cercaria F of Rohde, 1981) from the gastropod Planaxis sulcatus.

The genus Plectosphaerella is the largest genus in the family Plectosphaerellaceae. Some species are plant pathogens, whereas others are soil-borne. Seven Plectosphaerella isolates were collected from various locations in the southwest of China. Using multi-locus phylogenetic (LSU, ITS, EF1α, RPB2) analyses combined with morphological characteristics, two new species, Plectosphaerella guizhouensissp. nov. and Plectosphaerella nauculasporasp. nov. are described, illustrated and compared with related species.

This paper deals with the water mite species of the family Aturidae Thor, collected from running waters in Bingöl Province, Turkey. Javalbia (Javalbicula) turcica sp. nov. and Barbaxonella bingolensis sp. nov. are described as new species; Axonopsis armata Chaudonneret & Angelier, 1949 is synonymized with A. romijni Viets, 1923; Kongsbergia (Kongsbergia) persica Pešić, 2005, Albaxona lundbladi Motaş & Tanasachi, 1947, Axonopsis (Hexaxonopsis) romijni Viets, 1923, A.

The first records of the family Nicoletiidae in Iran are given, based on material from subterranean habitats in Fars Province. Two new species are described, one belonging to a new genus of Atelurinae, Persiatelurina farsiana gen. n. sp. n., the other to the genus Lepidospora but representing a new subgenus, Brinckiletinia subgen. n., this new subgenus is close to the subgenus Brinckina, but lacks scales on the thorax. Both new taxa are compared with related species. Nipponatelurina caucasica Kaplin, 2016 is transferred to Persiatelurina caucasica n. comb. The new atelurine was collected in Momtaz and Khan Caves and Lepidospora (Brinckiletinia) malousjanica sp. n. was found in Malousjan Cave. An additional specimen of Lepidospora was collected in Momtaz Cave, and although its specific identity is not clear, it represents a third taxon belonging to the subgenus Brinckina. Data about the habitats of these subterranean Nicoletiidae are presented.

Two new pterodectine feather mite species collected in Indonesia (Kalimantan) are described: Montesauria indonesiana sp. n. from the Asian glossy starling Aplonis panayensis (Scopoli, 1786) (Passeriformes, Sturnidae), and Proterothrix murariui sp. n. from the White-rumped woodpecker Meiglyptes tristis (Horsfield, 1821) (Piciformes, Picidae). Males of M. indonesiana have adanal and opisthoventral circular shields, surrounding the base of setae g and ps3, respectively, and females have the anterior and lobar parts of hysteronotal shields well delimited from each other by a transverse groove. The new species of Proterothrix described here is the first species of this genus discovered on a host of the family Picidae. This species has unique character states and cannot be included in any of the species groups defined so far within the genus. In both sexes, dorsal hysterosomal setae c1 are absent and hysterosomal setae cp are spiculiform. Males of P. murariui have a pregenital sclerite (epiandrum), the aedeagus is band-shaped, thickened in the anterior half and narrowed in the posterior half, the terminal lobes have two pairs of trapezoidal membranous extensions, coxal fields I are almost closed, and coxal fields III are open. Females have a narrow terminal cleft, parallel-sided in the anterior 2/3, large and with oblique margins in the posterior 1/3.
