Three species new to science, i.e. Deuterothyas parvtabula Zhong & Guo sp. nov., Deuterothyas luzhangensis Zhong & Guo sp. nov. and Deuterothyas baiyuensis Zhong & Guo sp. nov., are described and illustrated in detail. They were collected from China. The three new species represent a newly recorded rare genus in the subfamily Euthyadinae K. Viets, 1931 for the Chinese water mite fauna. The diagnosis of the genus Deuterothyas Lundblad, 1941 is revised based on the new species.
