4C5787B1170B7C4EFF31FC9AFCC2F881.taxon	discussion	Remarks: The water mite Torrenticola ungeri (Szalay, 1927) includes two subspecies: T. ungeri ungeri (Szalay, 1927), originally described from Hungary, and T. ungeri disparilis (Walter, 1947), a subspecies described based on a single male collected from interstitial waters of a stream in Romania (Walter 1947). Later on, K. O. Viets (1958) placed the latter subspecies into synonymy with the nominal subspecies. According to Lundblad (1956), and followed by Szalay (1964), P- 3 of the nominal subspecies lacks fine serration on the ventral margin, while the ventral margin of P- 4 bears fine serration in addition with 2 – 4 ventral tubercles. In contrast, in T. ungeri disparilis, the ventral margin of P- 3 shows fine serrations similar to those of P- 4, although these are less conspicuous (see Walter 1947). In our molecular study, two well-supported clades were recovered among specimens identified as T. ungeri, corresponding to Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) BOLD: AED 2307 and BOLD: AFD 1056. Re-examination of specimens assigned to BOLD: AED 2307 showed that their palp morphology (ventral margin of P- 3 lacking fine serrations; ventral margin of P- 4 in addition to fine serration with 2 – 4 ventral tubercles; Fig. 1 A) matches the description of T. ungeri ungeri. In contrast, a single juvenile female from BOLD: AFD 1056 exhibited palp characteristics consistent with T. ungeri disparilis, with both P- 3 and P- 4 bearing fine serrations, and P- 4 additionally bearing 6 – 7 small ventral tubercles (Fig. 1 B). The COI genetic divergence between these clades was estimated at 6.14 % (K 2 P), indicating clear genetic separation. Therefore, we propose the resurrection of Torrenticola ungeri disparilis as a valid subspecies, distinct from the nominal T. ungeri ungeri. Note: Based on palp morphology — with both P- 3 and P- 4 bearing fine serrations, and P- 4 additionally bearing 6 – 7 small ventral tubercles — the male specimen from the Mrtvica stream in Montenegro, illustrated by Pešić et al. (2019; figs. 3 A – B), should be assigned to T. ungeri disparilis.	en	Pešić, Vladimir, Girão, Dinis, Vergata, Chiara, Da Silva, Luís P., Ferreira, Sónia (2025): A new species of Torrenticola ungeri complex (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Torrenticolidae), and new water mite records for Portugal.

4C5787B1170A7C43FF31FB3CFA8BFBC6.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The species name galaica refers to the presence of this species on the northwest Iberian Peninsula from which the new species is currently only known. Species delimitation using DNA barcodes: The final alignment for species delimitation using COI sequence data comprised 669 nucleotide positions (nps) from 130 Torrenticola specimens (representing ten Torrenticola spp. characterized by dorsal shield with two free anterior platelets and shoulder platelets partially fused with large dorsal plate) listed in Table 2. Monatractides madritensis (K. Viets, 1930) from Serbia was used as outgroup. The Neighbour-Joining (NJ) tree is presented in Figure 4. COI sequences obtained from Torrenticola specimens collected in Portugal, here described as T. galaica sp. nov., forms a strongly supported clade (BIN BOLD: AGP 6165). In the phylogenetic tree, this clade appeared as a sister group to the cluster containing sequences of Torrenticola ungeri from the Balkans. The mean K 2 P genetic distance between the BIN of the new species and its closest neighbour, BOLD: AED 2307 (which includes sequences of T. ungeri ungeri), was estimated at 8.60 %. The mean intraspecific K 2 P distance within the new species cluster was 0.2 %.	en	Pešić, Vladimir, Girão, Dinis, Vergata, Chiara, Da Silva, Luís P., Ferreira, Sónia (2025): A new species of Torrenticola ungeri complex (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Torrenticolidae), and new water mite records for Portugal.

4C5787B1170A7C43FF31FB3CFA8BFBC6.taxon	discussion	Discussion: The new species belongs to the Torrenticola ungeri species complex, which currently includes two species known from the Palaearctic region: T. ungeri and T. neoungeri. The Portuguese species differs from both species in having a more rounded idiosoma (dorsal shield L / W ratio 1.2) and a distinct dorsal shield color pattern (compare Fig. 3 A – B with Figs. 3 C – E). Additionally, the new species differs in the shape and configuration of the dorsal plate: the angle between the frontal plates is only slightly pointed, and the anterior part of the dorsal plate lying between the traces of the shoulder plate delimitation is relatively wide. In contrast, both T. neoungeri and T. ungeri exhibit a more sharply pointed angle between the frontal plates, a narrower anterior section of the dorsal plate between the traces of the shoulder plates, and more strongly pronounced angles of the shoulder plate traces posterior to setae Dgl- 3.	en	Pešić, Vladimir, Girão, Dinis, Vergata, Chiara, Da Silva, Luís P., Ferreira, Sónia (2025): A new species of Torrenticola ungeri complex (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Torrenticolidae), and new water mite records for Portugal.
