Family ZELANDOTHYADIDAE Cook, 1983

Introduction

Cook (1983) described the new subfamily Zealandothyadinae for an unusual species of aquatic mite from New Zealand. Harvey (1998) promoted the group to family level, and noted that the correct placement of the family has not yet been settled. The family includes two genera, one each in Australia and New Zealand. The single Australian species is known only from a stream in Tasmania. The small amount of available information on the family was reviewed by Cook (1986), Harvey (1998) and Walter et al. (2009).
