New records of water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) from the Comoros are presented. Two species new to science, Torrenticola comorosensis (Torrenticolidae) and Sterkspruitia comorosensis (Hygrobatidae) are described; the latter species is the second known species of the genus Sterkspruitia Cook, 2003. First records are given for Limnochares crinita Koenike, 1898 and Mamersella thienemanni K. Viets, 1929. Additional measurements, figures and information on the morphology are given for specimens assigned to the Monatractides ventriosus-species complex.
本文介绍了来自科摩罗的水螨(蜱螨亚纲:水螨目)新记录。描述了两个科学新物种,科摩罗急流水螨(急流水螨科)和科摩罗斯泰克水螨(湿螨科);后一个物种是2003年库克所命名的斯泰克水螨属已知的第二个物种。给出了1898年柯尼克命名的多毛淡水螨和1929年K. 维茨命名的蒂内曼马默螨的首次记录。还给出了分配到膨腹单肢螨物种复合体的标本的补充测量数据、图和形态学信息。
