This paper deals with a collection of epigean and hypogean water mites from the Hormozgan and Sistan va Baluchestan prov-inces in southern Iran. One new genus, Haloaxonopsis, is described, characterized by the presence of so-called wheel-likeacetabula, a unique character so far known only in marine mites of the family Pontarachnidae. One new subgenus, Halolimne-sia, and fourteen new species are described: Hydrachna sistanica, Nilotonia hormozgana, Torrenticola asadiae, T. hormozgan-ensis, Monatractides martini, Neoatractides calidus, Limnesia diversipes, Atractides hormozganus, Javalbia persica,Axonopsis gloeeri, A. interstitialis, A. hyporheica, Haloaxonopsis salina and Albia hyporheica. The first descriptions of thefemale are given for Neumania cf. maharashtris Cook, 1967 and Arrenurus bharatensis Cook, 1967. The following species arereported for the first time in Iran: Hydrachna cf. vaillanti K. Viets 1951, H. globosa lacerata Lundblad, 1969, Diplodontus sil-vestrii (Daday, 1898), Hygrobates hamatus K. Viets, 1935, Atractides biscutatus Cook, 1967 and Arrenurus bharatensis Cook,1967. The zoogeographical and ecological characteristics of the water mite fauna of southern Iran are discussed. The fauna ofSE Iran is of Oriental character, and no typical Palaearctic species were found. Our study shows that this fauna is not transitional, suggesting a rather ‘sharp’ boundary between the Palaearctic and Oriental regions in southern Iran.

New records of water mite species (Acari: Hydrachnidia) from hyporheic waters of Selwyn River (South Island, New Zealand) are reported. One new genus, Canterburaturus Pesic & Smit n. gen. (Aturidae) and nine new species are described: Taintaturus selwynus Pesic & Smit n. sp., T. rostratus Pesic & Smit n. sp., T. waikirikiri Pesic & Smit n. sp., Colobaturus selwynus Pesic & Smit n. sp., Canterburaturus minutus Pesic & Smit n. sp., C. cooki Pesic & Smit n. sp., C. novaeseelandicus Pesic & Smit n. sp., Abelaturus schwoerbeli Pesic & Smit n. sp., and Zelandalbia longipalpis Pesic & Smit n. sp. A first description of the male is given for Piotaturus bovalus Cook, 1983. A list is given of all known hyporheic species of New Zealand.

Ten new species and two new subspecies of the water mite genus Arrenurus are described from the Afrotropical region,i.e. Arrenurus abyssinicus n. sp., A. altomontanus n. sp., A. baleensis n. sp., A. bechuanicus n. sp., A. botswanicus n. sp.,A. coronopetiolatus n. sp., A. flavus n. sp., A. monocavus n. sp., A. okavango n. sp. and A. serratipetiolatus n. sp., A.chutteri longipes n. subsp., A. concavus longifissus n. subsp. One new species of the genus Thoracophoracarus is de-scribed, T. fluviatilis n. sp. The following taxa are proposed to the rank of a full species: A. chutteri K.O. Viets, A. damasiLundblad and A. grandis Walter & Bader. Arrenurus odonatophilus Müchberg is transferred to the subgenus Brevicau-daturus Smit, while A. discretus Cook is synonymized with the latter species. Arrenurus vanopus Cook is synonymizedwith A. capensis Thor, and the female of A. petri Cook must be assigned to A. capensis. The presumed female of A. petriis described therefore again. The male of A. latifoliatus K. Viets is redescribed and the female of this species is described for the first time.
