Abstract
Here we provide first data on the apparently rich water mite fauna of Belize. In this work 27 genera in 14 families were registered at ten sites. The state of knowledge on water mites of El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Southern Mexico (South of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec) is described and similarities with the presented data are discussed. In total, 23 families, 61 genera are now known from Northern Central America, with one family (Hungarohydracaridae) and three genera (Santiagocarus, Neoaxona (Lamellaxona), Stygarrenurus) published for the first time from this region in the present study.
