The mites (Chelicerata: Acari) of the CRENODAT project: faunistic records and ecological data from springs in the autonomous province of Trento (Italian Alps)

Abstract
The taxonomy, distribution and biology of 3391 mite specimens collected from 104 springs in the Trentino Region (Northern Italy) are presented here. A total of 178 taxa are recorded (undetermined Mesostigmata, 14 hygric Trombidia and a further 5 Prostigmata, 2 Halacaridae, 55 Hydrachnidia, and 101 Oribatida). The material includes one subgenus and species new to science and 19 species new to the Italian fauna. One of these, Lebertia macilenta (Lebertiidae), was formerly only known from the type locality in the Czech Republic.
