Abstract

Hydrachnidia) from the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico are presented. Litarachna lopezae sp. n., from substrata collected from Bajo de Sico, a mesophotic coral reef ecosystem in Mona Passage off Puerto Rico, is described as new to science. The new species was collected from nearly 70 m depth, the greatest depth from which pontarachnid mites have been found until now. In addition, a Litarachna sp. was also found in association with the tube of the polychaete Sabellastarte magnifica (Shaw, 1800) at the shallow waters of north Puerto Rico.

摘要

本文介绍了来自加勒比海波多黎各岛的水螨目（Hydrachnidia）。来自波多黎各莫纳海峡中光带珊瑚礁生态系统巴霍德西科采集的基质中的洛佩斯立螨（Litarachna lopezae sp. n.）被描述为科学上新发现的物种。该新物种采自近70米深处，这是迄今为止发现Pontarachnid螨类的最大深度。此外，在波多黎各北部浅水区还发现一种立螨属（Litarachna sp.）与多毛纲动物壮丽缨鳃虫（Sabellastarte magnifica，肖，1800）的管相关联。
