Three new genera and 25 new species of water mites are described from New Caledonia. The new genera described are Aspidiobatopsis n. gen., Caledoniabates n. gen. (both Hygrobatidae) and Cookaturus n. gen. (Axonopsinae). The following new species are described: Hydrachna neocaledonica n. sp., H. oculoscutata n. sp., Frontipoda curta n. sp., F. dothioensis n. sp., F. fuviatilis n. sp., F. goroensis n. sp., F. neocaledonica n. sp., Oxus ingens n. sp., O. punctatus n. sp., Limnesia neocaledonica n. sp., Aspidiobates minutus n. sp., A. neocaledonicus n. sp., A. rarus n. sp., A. suturalis n. sp., Aspidiobatopsis rubra n. sp., Caledoniabates inflatipalpis n. sp., C. purpureus n. sp., Cookaturus triacetabulatus n. sp., C. disparilis n. sp., Neumania lacustris n. sp., Recifella neocaledonica n. sp., R. immutabilis n. sp., Koenikea rotunda n. sp., K. solitarius n. sp. and Wuria expansipalpis n. sp. Two species are reported new for the fauna of New Caledonia, i.e. Hydryphantes haliki Cook and Limnochares australica Lundblad. The female of Aspidiobates caeruleus K.O. Viets is described for the first time. The genus Heterolimnesia is lowered to the rank of subgenus within Limnesia.
