Notes: Aqualignicola was introduced by Ranghoo et al. (2001) with Aqualignicola hyalinaas type species. Currently, two species are accepted in this genus (Ranghoo et al.2001; Hu et al. 2012a), and both species were collected from freshwater habitats in Asia (Ranghoo et al. 2001; Sudheep and Sridhar 2011; Hu et al. 2012a).
