New findings of organismal dispersal by other organisms can help explain the distribution of species to remote places. In this work, I describe a male and a female of a new water mite species of the genus Arrenurus that were found in the crop of an Anas flavirostris duck near Cochabamba, Bolivia. Both specimens were complete; however, it is unknown if they were alive and, thus, potentially viable at the time of collection. This study also represents the first reported finding of water mites in a bird crop.

Dockovdia oruensis sp. nov., from the mantle cavity of the prosobranch gastropod Potadoma moerchi (Reeve) in Nigeria is described and figured. This is the second water mite species from the Hygrobatidae to be reported as a ‘parasite’ of a freshwater mollusc and, significantly, the first record of a water mite from a thiarid gastropod.

Four water mite species of the genera Atractides and Sperchon (Acari: Hydrachnidia) are reported from Serbia and Crna Gora, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Bulgaria. Sperchon vesnae is described as a new species; first description are given of the female of Atractides longisetus Pesic, 2002; first records from the Balkan peninsula are given of Sperchon longissimus Viets, 1920, and Atractides cf. lunipes Lundblad, 1956. The latter is a rare water mite species previously known only from the French Pyrenees.

Two water mite species (Acari: Hydrachnidia) are reported from Montenegro (Yugoslavia, SE Europe). Stygohydracarus karanovici is described as a new species and Atractides inflatipes Lundblad, 1956 as the first record from the Balkan peninsula. The latter is a rare water mite species previously known only from the French Pyrenees.

In the present study we used morphological data and DNA barcodes to describe a new species, Hydrodroma angelieri sp. nov. from Corsica, France. A high genetic distance of 17.3±0.017% K2P from its molecularly most closely related European congener, H. despiciens (Müller, 1776), supports H. angelieri sp. nov. as a distinct species. Morphologically the new species can be identified on the basis of relatively small leg claws, the presence of only one swimming seta on II-L-5 and 4-6 swimming setae on the anterior surface of IV-L-5. An updated key for the European species of Hydrodroma is provided.

Three water mite species of the genus Torrenticola Piersig, 1896 are reported from Foding Mountain National Nature Reserve, Guizhou Province, China. Torrenticola fodingensis Gu & Guo, n. sp. and T. tenuichelicera Gu & Guo, n. sp. are described and illustrated as new to science, and T. nipponica (Enami, 1940) is recorded in China for the first time, with the first description and illustration of its deutonymph. In addition, a key to the species ofTorrenticola in China is presented in this paper. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, P. R. China (GUGC).
