Abstract


Five genera and ten species of water mites are reported as new for the Iberian Peninsula. Some belong to the interstitial environment and other may inhabit both the interstitial and the superficial layer of benthos. This fauna is poorly known, although total species number in the Iberian Peninsula could reach more than 500. Drawings and not authority criteria are used to confirm the goodness of species identification.
