(2011).</p><p>Notes on the genus.</p><p>Laelaspis belongs to a group of genera of Laelapidae in which the genital shield of the female is greatly expanded, so that its posterior margin abuts the anal shield and its lateral margins extend outward behind coxae IV. The expanded genito-ventral shield in these genera captures at least two pairs of ventral setae in addition to the genital setae on the the extreme edges of the shield. Laelaspis is distinguished from Gymnolaelaps by its two-tined palp tarsal claw, the absence of pre-sternal shields, and the presence of two distinct Λ-shaped lines on the genital shield. Laelaspis differs from Pseudoparasitus because Pseudoparasitus has at least two pairs of setae on the surface of the genital shield, well separated from the edges of the shield, while all the genital setae of Laelaspis and Gymnolaelaps are on the extreme edges of the shield.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C1D17E7BE9B6614F454099923244E743	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species has been found from moss and litter, but has not been reported from the nests of ants. It is now recorded in Iran for the first time from the ant nests.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E73151E48471049442D058CEA0A94290	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species was found associated with at least two genera of ants ( Lasius and Tetramorium), free-living in soil, litter and meadows, and from the nests of mammals. This species is easily recognised by the large number of long, thick and wavy opisthonotal setae, the bidentate movable digit and the tridentate fixed digit. Haddad Irani-Nejad et al. (2003) recorded an unidentified species as Laelaspis near humerata (Berlese 1904), but the identity of that species cannot be confirmed because the specimens have been lost, so this is the first record of Laelaspis humeratus from Iran.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/55AF34DC1C8E41B63A306CE538245665	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
