Among the Acaridida, only a few taxa can be regarded as truly aquatic, living all the time completely submerged in water (W u r s t, 2006). Freshwater mites are found just in the families Acaridae (Schwiebea, Naidacarus) and Histiostomatidae; while Naidacarus and Histiostomatidae have been so far recorded only from surface water, various species of Schwiebea have in addition been found in samples of ground waters (W u r s t, 2006).
