In this paper, we describe Najadicola loeiensis sp. nov. (Pionidae: Najadicolinae), a new water mite species from the Loei River, a tributary of the Mekong River in Thailand. The only other species in this small genus, N. ingens (Koenike, 1895), inhabits North America. Our novel tropical Asian species can be distinguished from N. ingens by the shape of coxal plates and body size. N. loeiensis sp. nov. is a parasite of the inner cavity of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) as its Nearctic congener.

Small Genus

Ptilagrostis Grisebach (1852: 447) is a small genus of the grass family, including approximately 11 species (Wu & Phillips 2006, Barkworth 2007). It occurs in both Asia and North America with about eight species distributed in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, its diversity center. Ptilagrostis yadongensis Keng & Tang (1985: 44) is one of the species that occurs in this region, which was described based on materials from Yadong, China, the southern slope of Himalayas. The paper was published in a Chinese journal, viz. Journal of Southwest Agriculural University, and had not been noticed until 2005 (Peterson et al. 2005, Wu & Phillips 2006). The author pointed out that P. yadongensis is distinguished from its morphological close, Ptilagrostis concinna (Hooker 1897: 230) Roshevitz (1934: 75) by linear panicles with fewer spikelets, longer and unequal glumes, and shorter and glabrous anthers.

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).

Posterior Position

Two new species of Bimastos Moore are described based on morphological and molecular data. Bimastos nanae n. sp. resembles B. lawrenceae Fender, B. zeteki (Smith and Gittins) and B. welchi (Smith). Bimastos nanae n. sp. differs from these species in the position of the clitellum, size and number and position of thickened septa. Bimastos magnum n. sp. is similar to B. schwerti Csuzdi & Chang and B. palustris Moore in having a fully annular clitellum and male pores on huge porophores. Bimastos magnum n. sp. differs from both species by having a more posterior position of the clitellum (in xxiv-xxxiii, xxxiv) and larger body size. With the description of these new species, the number of Bimastos species is raised to 14.
