Abstract

Historical and recently published information on the parasitic associations of larval water mites with insect hosts is critically reviewed and summarized. A number of problematical published host records are either confirmed or rejected, and many newly discovered associations are reported. Associations of parasitic larvae with insect hosts are confirmed for species of water mites representing 70 of the nearly 300 described genera, in 28 of the 45 currently recognized families, and all 7 superfamilies. Life history, behavioral, ecological, and phylogenetic data on water mites of genera with known larvae are summarized to provide the basis for interpreting the evolutionary significance of observed host associations. Previously established hypotheses are evaluated in the light of a greatly expanded list of verified observations.

Résumé

L’ouvrage présente une revue critique et un sommaire de l’information historique et nouvelle sur les associations des larves d’acariens aquatiques avec leurs hôtes insectes. Les auteurs confirment ou rejetent plusieurs mentions douteuses qui se trouvent dans la littérature publiée, et rapportent beaucoup d’associations découvertes à nouveau. Nous confirmons les associations parasites des larves d’acariens aquatiques représentant 70 des presque 300 genres décrits, dans 28 des 45 familles reconnues, et tous les 7 superfamilles. Nous présentons un résumé de l’information sur le développement postembryonnaire, le comportement, l’écologie, et la phylogénie d’acariens aquatiques pour proviser la base d’une discussion de la signification évolutionnaire des associations parasites des larves connues. Les hypothèses phylogénétiques sont réévaluées à la lumière d’une liste beaucoup plus complète d’observations vérifiées.
