蝾螈水螨（Hygrobates salamandrarum Goldschalm，Gerecke and Alberti，2002），属阿卡里蜱螨亚纲，水螨科水螨属，是我国首次发现的寄生于蝾螈成虫的水螨。在其描述之后，又描述了三种蝾螈寄生螨，并提出了Lurchibates Goldschallow和Fu，2011的亚属，现在包含四种蝾螈寄生螨。到目前为止，每种水螨都会寄生在不同的蝾螈物种上（表1），这表明螨与蝾螈可能存在共同物种形成。为了验证这一假设，我们需要对宿主和寄生虫进行准确的分类。然而，那些已知被Lurchibates螨寄生的亚洲蝾螈属的分类在最初描述了H。蝾螈为了解释这些分类学变化，我们在此修订了宿主-寄生虫种属列表，并修改了宿主种属名称，如表1所示。
Hygrobates salamandrarum Goldschmidt, Gerecke and Alberti, 2002 (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Hygrobatidae) is the firstknown water mite parasitizing adult newts. After its description, three further species of newt-parasitizing mites were described and the subgenus Lurchibates Goldschmidt and Fu, 2011 was proposed for the group, now containing four newtparasitizing mites. Until now, each water mite species parasitizes a different newt species (Table 1), suggesting possible mite-newt co-speciation. In order to test this hypothesis, we need an accurate taxonomy of both of the hosts and parasites. However, the taxonomy of those Asian newt genera known to be parasitized by Lurchibates mites has been substantially revised after the initial description of the H. salamandrarum. To account for these taxonomic changes, we here revise the host-parasite species list and amend the host species name as shown in Table 1.
