Review of progress in the taxonomy of water mites from China II (Acari: Hydrachnidia).

With a brief review on taxonomic studies of Chinese water mites since 2010, this paper gives a checklist of the 381 species in 53 genera, 25 subfamilies, 23 families and 7 superfamilies, recorded from China. 25 of these (6.56%) are Palaearctic-Oriental, 85 (22.31%) Palaearctic, 271 (71.13%) Oriental in their distributions, and 290 (76.12%) are known at present only from China. The information on distribution within China is given for each species. Arrenurus (Arrenurus) bilobatus Jin & Li, 1996 is replaced with Arrenurus (Arrenurus) leishanus nomen novum, and Arrenurus (Micruracarus) bipetiolatus Jin & Wiles, 1996 with Arrenurus (Micruracarus) yibinus nomen novum.
