Abstract
Water mites of the genus Arrenurus Dugès, 1834 are recorded for the first time parasitizing odonates in the Dominican Republic and Hispaniola. The report is based on a single individual of the damselfly Telebasis dominicana (Selys, 1857) parasitized by multiple individuals of the water mite Arrenurus sp.
