It is similar to other species such as G. nolli (Karg, 1962), G. arabicus (Hafez et al., 1982), G. kargi (Costa, 1968), G. praesternalis (Willmann, 1949) after Karg (1993) and G. iranicus Kavianpour &amp; Nemati, 2013 in general appearance but can be distinguished as follows.</p><p>Gaeolaelaps nolli with 39 pairs of dorsal shield setae (z3 present), sternal shield has thin reticulation in lateral surface and epigynal shield distinctly reticulated, elongate pd2–3 on tarsus IV, length of J4 setae nearly equal to distance between J4–J5.</p><p>Gaeolaelaps arabicus (based on personal comm from Dr. A.

Nemati &amp; Mohseni (2013) provided a key for 17 species of Gaeolaelaps with short peritremes. In most of these species the peritreme extends to the middle of coxa II, except for G. macra (Karg, 1978) and G. orbiculatus Nemati &amp; Mohseni, 2013 in which the peritremes extend to the anterior level of coxa II. In the present paper we provide a key to 26 species that are considered as Gaeolaelaps which have a peritreme that extends to the anterior level of coxa II. In this group there are some species with very short peritreme extending only to the anterior level of coxa III (Mašán, 1998; Sklyar, 2012; Trach, 2012, 2016).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E648175AFFAAFFC1E8BBFCCEFA8BC8E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
