Two rare water mite species (Acari, Hydrachnidia), i.e., Torrenticola malaisei (Lundblad, 1941) and Momonides trabecularis Lundblad, 1941, are reported from streams in the eastern Himalayan region in India. Torrenticola malaisei (Lundblad, 1941) has been discovered after 70 years and the first description of the male is given; the synonymization of T. lamellifera (Lundblad, 1941) with T. malaisei proposed by Wiles (1997) is not accepted; the male of M. trabecularis is described for the first time.
