A76187C2BE62E67DFFC6FDCDEE00FEA2.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The first scientific description of a species of the genus Laelaps was made by Sven Ingemar Ljungh (1757 – 1828), the Swedish naturalist who published a Latin account of the black morph of the water vole, Arvicola terrestris (L., 1758), with a short description of its ectoparasites, Pediculus murinus Fabricius, 1780 and Acarus muris Ljungh, 1799. C. L. Koch (1836), included two species into his genus Laelaps: L. agilis Koch, 1836 and L.	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.

The range of L. echidninus coincides with the range of its principal hosts, Rattus spp. (Strandtmann & Mitchell, 1963; Zemskaya, 1973). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been recorded from Eastern Siberia and the Far East (Amur Region, Sakhalin Island), however, no recordings from Western Siberia are known to date (Zemskaya, 1973; Nikulina, 2004). Although Strandtmann & Mitchell (1963) report this mite from a wide range of hosts, including tupaids, sciurid rodents, and a wide range of muroid rodents, L. echidninus is primarily associated with the cosmopolitan domestic rat species Rattus rattus and R. norvegicus.	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.

A76187C2BE68E676FFC6FF31EDECF9DD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The taxonomic validity of L. pavlovskyi is disputable. Some acarologists believe it to be a good species (Bregetova, 1956; Tipton, 1960; Salmane 2001), whereas other authors follow Mrciak (1964), who synonymised L. pavlovskyi with L. jettmari (Senotrusova, 1987; Goncharova et al., 1991; Mašán & Fenďa, 2010). Mrciak (1964) also found no significant morphological differences between the two species. However, in parasitic gamasid mites, ecologically distinct species parasitising phylogenetically and ecologically distinct hosts are sometimes very similar in morphology. Ecologically segregated cryptic species are not rare within Mesostigmata (Muma & Denmark, 1969; Zuevsky, 1970; Engelbrecht et al., 2014; Skoracka et al., 2015). Concerning the species pair L. jettmari — L. pavlovskyi, Tipton (1960: 281) stressed that “ host relationships are of some significance in distinguishing these species ”. Indeed, L. pavlovskyi is primarily associated with Apodemus mice, whereas L. jettmari infests hamsters of the genus Cricetulus. These two rodent genera are not phylogenetically related and belong to different families, Muridae Gray, 1821 and Cricetidae Fischer, 1817, respectively. Their ecology is also different, which implies strong habitat segregation between hosts and, hence, spatial and ecological isolation between mites. Furthermore, it is uncommon for a particular Laelaps species to be associated with phylogenetically distant mammals (see Discussion). All species of Laelaps living in Northern Asia are associated with hosts belonging to the same genus (L. algericus, L. hilaris, L. nuttalli and others) or, rarely, with hosts of taxonomically close genera (L. clethrionomydis). Some generalist species of this genus proved to represent complexes of cryptic species confined to different host taxa (Engelbrecht et al., 2014). In our opinion, morphological similarity between mites associated with phylogenetically distant taxa of mammals is not a sufficient argument to conclude their conspecificity, and the synonymy between L. pavlovskyi and L. jettmari should be corroborated by means of more sophisticated research techniques that are currently used in the studies of the cryptic speciation in the Acari (Skoracka et al., 2015, Lareschi & Galliari, 2014).	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.

A76187C2BE68E677FFC6F9C4EEAFFE6B.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Northern Eurasia, from Arkhangel’sk Region of Russia eastwards to northeastern Asia, including Wrangel Island (Belyaev, 1969; Zemskaya, 1973; Nikulina, 2004); Greenland (Trågärdh, 1904). A record of this species from Sweden was questioned by Edler & Mehl (1972). Indeed, D. torquatus is not known to occur in Scandinavian countries (Panteleev, 1998), and the finding of L. semitectus there seems unlikely. However, both Lemmus and Dicrostonyx occupied much wider geographic ranges in the recent geological history (Fedorov & Goropashnaya, 1999).	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.

A76187C2BE69E677FFC6FD90EB7EFA62.taxon	distribution	Distribution. The native range of L. multispinosus lies in North America, but the species was probably introduced to Eurasia with its principal host, the muskrat. Now, L. multispinosus is widely distributed in the Palaearctic following the spread of its host. In Asiatic Russia, it is recorded from numerous localities throughout Siberia and the Russian Far East (Nikulina, 2004), which corresponds to the present Palaearctic range of the muskrat (Long, 2003). Addition to the genus Laelaps: Lange (1955) described a new species of Laelaps — L. turkestanicus parasitising rats. This species has been recorded from the southern part of European Russia, Central Asia (Tajikistan), and the Far East, including China and Taiwan (Lange, 1955; Tipton, 1960; Wei et al., 2010). The type host, Rattus turkestanicus (Satunin, 1903) = R. pyctoris (Hodgson, 1845), occurs in the mountains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, but no reliable records of L. turkestanicus in Asiatic Russia are known.	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.

A76187C2BE69E674FFC6FA42EB08FE4F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Mites of this cosmopolitan genus are ecological opportunists associated with a wide range of species hosts (insects, reptiles, birds, rodents) as well as with their nests. Not all Androlaelaps mites are considered as closely associated with small mammals. For example, A. karawajewi Berlese, 1903 recorded from Western Siberia is a myrmecophilous mite inhabiting ant nests (Davydova, 1977). It was excluded from the check-list below. The genus Androlaelaps has sometimes been placed into the stem subfamily Hypoaspidinae Vitzthum, 1941 (Tipton, 1960; Casanueva, 1993). Here we follow Lindquist et al. (2009) and classify it as a member of the nominate subfamily. The long established synonymy between the genera Androlaelaps and Haemolaelaps supported by many authors (Till, 1963; Evans & Till, 1966; Senotrusova, 1987; Goncharova et al. 1991) has been rejected recently by Shaw (2014) who also rediagnosed Haemolaelaps. Bregetova (1977 b) stated there are 10 species of Androlaelaps in the ex-USSR fauna; seven have been recorded from Asiatic Russia, as follows.	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.

The only published record of A. angustiscutis in Asiatic Russia is that by Davydova & Nikolsky (1986). The authors included this species in their list of gamasid mites of the steppe zone of Western Siberia, without giving concrete localities. Also, a female of A. angustiscutis was collected in July of 1983 from the Daurian pica, Ochotona daurica (Pallas, 1776), in the Tes-Khem District of Tuva Republic, Russia, situated in south Siberia close to the Russian-Mongolian border (ORINF archives, unpublished). This locality lies not far from Ninxia Region of China, and it seems likely that A. angustiscutis is widely distributed in Central Asia, including adjacent parts of Siberia.	en	Vinarski, Maxim V., Korallo-Vinarskaya, Natalia P.
