Abstract

Three new water mite species of the genus Lebertia Neuman, 1880—Lebertia (Lebertia) gimina sp. nov., Lebertia (Mixolebertia) dinghuensis sp. nov. and Lebertia (Mixolebertia) wuyiensis sp. nov.—are described from China, along with one new Chinese record—Lebertia (Lebertia) ignatowi Sokolow, 1930.
