On the taxonomy of water mites (Acari: Hydrachnidia) described from the Palaearctic, part 2: Hydryphantoidea and Lebertioidea Author Sabatino, Antonio Di Author Gerecke, Reinhard Author Gledhill, Terence Author Smit, Harry text Zootaxa 2009 2266 1 34 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.190843 cb229040-f235-462d-b23b-55e3870709a9 1175-5326 190843 Torrenticola sandalensis ( Sokolow, 1926 ) Atractides sandalensis Sokolow, 1926 Species incerta Discussion: This species was desribed from a single female specimen collected from a stream in Karelia ( Sokolow 1926 ). From the original description it is similar to T. brevirostris and both Szalay (1933) and Cicolani & Di Sabatino (1990) hypothesized a possible synonymy with this species. Since the gnathosoma was not figured in the original description, and the species is based on a single female, it is impossible to confirm this synonymy and T. sandalensis is thus considered a species incerta .
