Abstract

A compilation of halacarid mite species (Halacaridae) found from more than 900 m above sea level altitudes have been carried out based on published records. Sixteen species were listed from high altitudes from more than 900 m above sea level belong to nine genera: Copidognathus (1 species), Halacarellus (2 species), Limnohalacarus (2 species), Lobohalacarus (1 species), Parasoldanellonyx (2 species), Porohalacarus (3 species), Porolohmannella (1 species), Ropohalacarus (1 species) and Soldanellonyx (3 species). All species listed from more than 900 m a.s.l., also reported from lower altitude area. Proper investigation may result many more species from upper altitude areas.
