“…They described new diagnostic characters for R. lativentris, including remnants of membranous hypostomal flaps, gave new information on female characters of R. faini, and provided a new definition and diagnosis of Reticulolaelaps together with a new definition of Pseudoparasitus. Currently, five species complete the list of recognized species of Reticulolaelaps -R. costai Joharchi & Babaeian, 2015, R. elsae (Joharchi et al, 2016), R. faini Costa, 1968, R. hallidayi Joharchi, Nemati & Babaeian, 2013, and R. jilinensis (Ma, 2004).…”

A new species, Reticulolaelaps caditanus n. sp., is described based on adult females found in an oothecal cell of Mantis religiosa. The species has several morphological characteristics, including the presence of presternal shields, endopodal III-IV widely connected with sternal shield, 50 pairs of dorsal setae and at least 11 setae x, curly and barbed, and thin and smooth ventral setae including six pairs of setae on the genitoventral shield. A revised diagnosis of the genus with the addition of new characters and a key to the world species of the genus are provided.

“…Members of the genus Reticulolaelaps were found in soil, litter, tree bark (Costa, 1968;Ma, 2004;Ghafarian et al, 2012), as well as in ant nests (Formicidae) (Nemati et al, 2013;Joharchi & Babaeian, 2015;Joharchi et al, 2016).…”

“…Although also exhibiting many differences from Persicolaelaps, species of Oloopticus, Laelaspisella, Pogonolaelaps and Reticulolaelaps share with it a salient attribute: the absence of metasternal setae (Marais & Loots, 1969;Karg, 2003;Nemati et al, 2013;Nemati & Gwiazdowicz, 2016;Joharchi et al, 2016). Except for Oloopticus, which has a well-developed sternal shield (and apparently bearing deep pits at the region usually occupied by st4), the absence of st4 in these genera and Persicolaelaps may be a result of a marked anterior expansion of the epigynal shield, leaving too little space, and little functional role (being so close to another pair of setae, st3) for them to develop.…”

A new monotypic mite genus of the family Laelapidae, Persicolaelaps gen. nov., is described to accommodate a new species, P. hallidayi sp. nov., on the basis of adult female specimens collected from decaying wood, soil and litter in northern Iran, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces, respectively. The new genus can be distinguished from other members of the family by a combination of morphological attributes, some of which are unique or rarely observed in laelapids, such as (1) a series of small subrectangular sclerites flanking dorsally coxae I and gnathosomal base and adjoining podal plates anterolaterally, which are extending from and fused with sternal shield between coxae I and II; (2) an epigynal shield, so broad as to reach or even overlap acetabula III-IV, posteriorly axe-shaped; (3) metasternal setae absent; (4) a typical anal shield, though capturing pair of opisthogastric setae JV3; (5) gnathotectum triangular and acuminate; (6) the presence of six setae on trochanter IV; (7) genu IV with two ventral setae (occasional in Laelapidae); (8) internal malae with a series of thick, elongate filaments.

“…Nevertheless, even with modern descriptions, opinions about generic boundaries may differ (e.g. Joharchi et al, 2016a andNemati &Gwiazdowicz, 2016b). This may be due to several factors, including existing concepts being based on poorly known type species, description methods still improving, with some morphological attributes (e.g.…”

The cosmopolitan mite family Laelapidae includes both free-living predatory species and species associated with arthropods, mammals or birds. This work presents a list of free-living and arthropod-associated species of laelapids, with corresponding taxonomic information and references. It includes 1088 species (in addition to three subspecies) assigned to 73 genera, 61 new combinations and two new synonymies at the generic level. Laelaps (Apolaelaps) Silvestri is raised to the generic level. Many of the species described before about 1950 are poorly characterised and cannot be classified with confidence at the family or generic level. Hence, ten genera, one subgenus, 121 species (ca. 70% of which were reported as Hypoaspis Canestrini or Laelaps (Hypoaspis) Canestrini) and one subspecies, are considered incertae sedis, because of their inadequate morphological characterisation in the literature. Some of these may not even belong to the Laelapidae or to the groups of interest for this publication. A total of 89 species, 30 genera, one subgenus, one tribe and one subfamily previously associated with genera treated in this catalogue are now placed in other families or, less commonly, in laelapid genera not considered here because they are considered essentially vertebrate parasites (taxa excluded). Twenty-six other species (one cited as a “variety”) are cited as nomina nuda. An illustrated key to the 73 genera included in the catalogue along with revised generic diagnoses are provided.
