We consider our new genus as a member of Laelapinae subfamily (sensu Evans and Till 1966) based on the presence of attributes of the subfamily: presternal area in the female reticulated or with pre-endopodal shields, deutosternum with five to seven (usually six) transverse rows of denticles, chelicerae in the female chelate-dentate or rarely chelate-edentate, pilus dentilis present, in the male chelate-dentate with spermadactyl free anteriorly or partially fused with the movable digit, hypertrichy of dorsal shield when present usually restricted to the region of the J series of setae, male with holoventral shield or with discrete sternito-genito-ventral and anal shields.</p><p>This subfamily contains seven genera: Ololaelaps, Androlaelaps, Ondatralaelaps, Laelaps, Hyperlaelaps, Pseudoparasitus and Hypoaspis sensu lato with nine subgenera for the latter like: Hypoaspis (Hypoaspis), Hypoaspis (Alloparasitus), Hypoaspis (Stratiolaelaps), Hypoaspis (Cosmolaelaps), Hypoaspis (Penumolaelaps), Hypoaspis (Gymnolaelaps), Hypoaspis (Holostaspis), Hypoaspis (Laelaspis) and Hypoaspis (Gaeolaelaps), which are considered as full generic status presently ( Trägårdh 1952, Hunter 1966, Lindquist et al. 2009, Rosario 1981, Beaulieu 2009, Joharchi et al. 2011).</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>Members of Pogonolaelaps gen. n. in general appearance may be similar to those genera of Laelapinae sensu Evans &amp; Till (1966), which possess a broad epigynal shield such as Laelaspis, Gymnolaelaps, Pseudoparasitus, and due to the absence of st4 and presence of hypertrichy on dorsal shield to Laelaspisella (was considered in this subfamily by Marais and Loots 1969) and for its special shape of dorsal setae with small knob at their base to Cosmolaelaps genera.</p><p>Pogonolaelaps may be similar to Laelaspis but it can be distinguished readily by the following characters. In Laelaspis palptarsal claw is two-tined (three tined in Pogonolaelaps); genital shield in Laelaspis with characteristic ornamentation including two distinct Λ-shaped lines; with two pairs of setae on extreme edges of shield in addition to st5 (in Pogonolaelaps without this special ornamentation and with only one pair of setae on the shield margin); Laelaspis usually lacks pre-sternal shield (present in Pogonolaelaps, but not markedly sclerotized). Laelaspis genu IV with nine setae including one ventral seta ( Pogonolaelaps with ten setae including two ventral setae: av and pv); male of Laelaspis with holoventral shield ( Pogonolaelaps with separate sub-triangular anal shield); dorsal shield in Laelaspis lacks hypertrichy ( Pogonolaelaps with hypertrichy on opisthonotal part); Laelaspis members with st4 and pore-like iv3 on integument posterior to sternal shield ( Pogonolaelaps lacks st4 and iv3 located on posterolateral extension of sternal shield near st3).</p><p>Pseudoparasitus and Gymnolaelaps members have st4 and pore-like iv3 on integument posterior to sternal shield, conspicuous denticulate epistome, genu IV with one ventral seta (av), and holotrichous dorsal shield with acicular setae; known males have holoventral shield and lack large spine or spur-like setae on femur II. Pseudoparasitus has large genital shield with 4-5 pairs of setae including two pairs on the shield surface; however, all of those in Gymnolaelaps are located on the lateral margin of shield. Pogonolaelaps lacks st4 and iv3 located on posterolateral extension of sternal shield near st3, with smooth sub-triangular epistome, large genital shield with only one pair of setae (st5) on the lateral margin, genu IV with two ventral seta (av and pv), dorsal shield possesses setae with small knob at their base, opisthonotal part with hypertrichous condition, males have separate anal shield and have large spine-like seta (pv) on femur II.</p><p>Laelaspisella ( Laelaspisella macrodorsalis and Laelaspisella epigynialis) (Marais and Loots 1969) has dorsal shield hypertrichous for both the podonotal and opisthonotal parts, and with very small acicular setae, setae Jv5 and Zv5 are spatulate and pilose, chelicera lacks dorsal seta, the setation of genu I is deficient in one postero-dorsal seta (2 3/2 2/1 2), while Pogonolaelaps has dorsal setae with small knob at their base, hypertrichous condition only of opisthonotal region, setae Jv5 and Zv5 acicular, chelicerae possess dorsal setae; the setation of genu I is typical with three pd setae (2 3/2 3/1 2). Differences among Pogonolaelaps gen. n. and other related genera such as Laelaspis, Gymnolaelaps, Pseudoparasitus, Laelaspisella and Cosmolaelaps are mentioned in Table 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/25965D734E91524A8AF013A65F53E26B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Some confusion about the state of the male ventral shields in Pogonolaelaps canestrinii (Berlese), comb. n. exist as Berlese (1892) originally showed the anal shield not separated, but later Berlese (1904) illustrated the species with a separate anal shield. Costa (1962) and Hunter (1967) regarded the species as having a separate anal shield, and here we confirm this by checking the type specimens of Pogonolaelaps canestrinii comb. n. kindly examined by Dr. Roberto Nanelli, and the type information is as follows:</p><p>Slide 4 Myrm./45 labeled Laelaps canestrinii Berl., 1 female, type, nidi formiche, Portici; (nests of ant, Portici: a locality near the city of Naples, Italy); Slide 4 Myrm./46 labelled Laelaps canestrinii Berl., 1 female, nidi formiche, Portici; Slide 4 Myrm./47 labelled Laelaps canestrinii Berl., 3 females, type, nidi formiche, Portici; Slide 4 Myrm./48 labelled Laelaps canestrinii Berl., 1 male, type, nidi formiche, (without locality of collection) (perhaps Portici); Slide 221/31 labelled Hypoaspis (Gymnolaelaps) canestrinii Berl., female, Spalato, libero nell’humus; (free, vacant in humus); The specimens are in poor condition but it is possible to see that the female’s dorsal shield has short setae, plus seven long thickened posterior setae, very similar to that shown in Figures 1, 11, 12. The slides labelled Myrm.= associated with ant, myrmecophilous.</p><p>Berlese (1892) described female and male specimens of Laelaps canestrinii, and according to his figures the female possesses a very wide epigynal shield with four pairs of setae in addition to st5 and with straight posterior margin, lacks setae between the epigynal and anal shields, sternal shield only with two pairs of setae, lacks the metasternal plates and setae, the movable digit of the chelicera with three teeth, and male without separate anal shield. Berlese (1904) redescribed Laelaps (Hypoaspis) canestrinii as epigynal shield of the female posteriorly rounded, carries only st5, possess one pair of setae between the epigynal and anal shields. In the male, the anal shield is clearly separate from the genito-ventral shield. The examination of the type material of Pogonolaelaps canestrinii and figures by Berlese (1904) confirm the identity of specimens redescribed in this study.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8D1B06C6D70068B23249E00414423717	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(see text), and the genital shield in Pogonolaelaps beaulieui gen. n., sp. n. [377-395 long, 208-226 wide at level of st5 and widest (260-273) near setae Zv1] is longer and wider than that of Pogonolaelaps canestrinii comb. n.
