In the life cycle of water mites the larvae of nearly all species live as ectoparasites on different insect
hosts. Only for a small share of the species exists larval descriptions and
those are of very different quality. In the present database all genera and species with any kind of description are listed with their respective reference. Additionally remarks on existing figures are made. Only species from the West Palaearctis are included. The construction of this database was financially supported by the foundation PAB
