Cold water coral reefs proved to harbour a diverse halacarid fauna. The fauna extracted from small pieces of corals was dominated by the genus Lohmannella which was represented by three species. Two species, new to science, are described and illustrated, namely Lohmannella njoerdri and Lohmannella sulensis. Of the third species only a single juvenile stage is available, since a reliable identification is not possible. Lohmannella njoerdri is characterized by long, slender claws. Lohmannella sulensis differs from other Lohmannella species by its wide dorsal plates, long and slender gnathosoma and legs and the part of the idiosoma posterior to insertion of leg IV being short.
冷水珊瑚礁被证明栖息着多样的海螨动物群。从小片珊瑚中提取的动物群以洛曼海螨属为主,该属有三个物种。描述并图示了两个新的科学物种,即约尔德洛曼海螨和苏尔洛曼海螨。对于第三个物种,仅获得了一个幼体阶段,因为无法进行可靠鉴定。约尔德洛曼海螨的特征是爪子长而细。苏尔洛曼海螨与其他洛曼海螨物种的不同之处在于其宽背板、长而细的颚体和腿,以及第四对腿插入处后方的体躯部分较短。
