Abstract
This paper reviews the research on the systematics and biology of the superfamily Bdelloidea in China, with an updated checklist of 48 species belonging to 16 genera in the family Cunaxidae and 26 species belonging to nine genera in the family Bdellidae. Important contributions to the Chinese fauna of the Bdellidae were made by Tseng Yi-Hsiung (Taiwan), Hong Mei (former with Fudan University in Shanghai) and Lin Jian-Zhen (and colleagues in Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Fuzhou), and those to the Cunaxidae by Tseng Yi-Hsiung, Li Long-Shu (and colleagues in Southwest University, Chongqing) and Lin Jian-Zhen (and colleagues). There have been relatively few studies on the biology and use in biological control of the Bdelloidea in China, and these are briefly reviewed.
