However, Laelaspisella has a hypertrichous dorsal shield, two ventral setae on genu IV, and lacks metasternal setae st4. Gymnolaelaps has a normal complement of 40 pairs of setae on the dorsal shield, one ventral seta on genu IV, and the metasternal setae are always present.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>The genus is characterised by a well sclerotised hypertrichous holodorsal shield, (podonotal area hypertrichous or with normal chaetotaxy), convex dorsal shield and flat venter, and a large genito-ventral shield, expanded posterior to the genital setae, with strong reticulated ornamentation. Pre-sternal plates present (lightly sclerotised in the new species); female sternal shield deeply concave in posterior margin and lateral corners extended to the level of coxa III, with three pairs of simple sternal setae; endopodal shields between coxae II and III fused with sternal shield. Metasternal setae st4 always absent; pores iv3 present on the posterolateral extensions of sternal shield; exopodal plate behind coxa IV triangular, more or less contiguous with but separate from peritrematal shields; peritrematal shield extending posteriorly well past coxae IV; genito-ventral shield with rounded posterior margin separate from anal shield, or with straight posterior margin touching anal shield; opisthogastric membrane with eight to nine pairs of smooth setae (r6 is not included), setae Jv5 and Zv5 longer than other opisthogastric area setae or normal (not longer than the other dorsal setae); anterior margin of epistome smooth or with irregular minute denticulation; chelicera with small and robust digits with few teeth, dorsal seta sometimes absent. Hypostomal groove with four to six rows of denticles. Corniculi well-sclerotised; palp tarsal claw with two pointed tines. Legs shorter than idiosoma, genu IV with ten setae (2 2/1 3/1 1), genu I with seta pd3 absent (2 3/2 2/1 2) or present (2 3/2 3/1 2).</p><p>These characters are variable within the genus Laelaspisella: (1) dorsal seta of chelicera present or absent; (2) podonotal shield hypertrichous or with normal chaetotaxy; (3) setae Jv5 and Zv5 expanded or normal; (4) seta pd3 on genu I present or absent; (5) extra opisthogastric setae present or absent; (6) genito-ventral shield with rounded posterior margin separate from anal shield, or with straight posterior margin touching anal shield; (7) Anterior margin of epistome smooth or with irregular minute denticulation.</p><p>To separate Laelaspisella from Gymnolaelaps, the following characters can be used: Laelaspisella has (1) opisthonotal area of dorsal shield hypertrichous; (2) metasternal setae absent; (3) genu IV with two ventral setae; (4) pore iv3 on sternal shield. Gymnolaelaps has (1) opisthonotal area of dorsal shield not hypertrichous; (2) metasternal setae present; (3) genu IV with one ventral seta; (4) pore iv3 in soft skin.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/88A771AA82919387A4A7C1863C67E633	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In Laelaps canestrinii Berlese, 1892, the female has a very wide genito-ventral shield carrying four pairs of setae in addition to st5, and has a straight posterior margin. There are no setae between the genito-ventral and anal shields. The sternal shield has only two pairs of setae, the metasternal plates and setae are absent, the anal shield is wider than long, and the movable digit of the chelicera has three teeth. In the male the anal shield is fused to the genito-ventral shield, with the fusion marked by a distinct line. Berlese (1903) referred to this species as Laelaps (Eulaelaps) canestrinii . Berlese (1904) then added some morphological information and illustrations for a species that he called Laelaps (Hypoaspis) canestrinii . In these illustrations the genito-ventral shield of the female carries only one pair of setae and has a rounded posterior margin. The anal shield is narrow, and there is a pair of setae between the genito-ventral shield and the anal shield. In the male, the anal shield is clearly separate from the genito-ventral shield. These descriptions appear to refer to two different species. Hunter (1967) referred to this problem but did not resolve it. Laelaps canestrinii does not belong to the genera Laelaps or Hypoaspis, and a solution to the identification of the true genus of Laelaps canestrinii Berlese, 1892 can only come from a detailed study of Berlese’s specimens. The 1904 re-description is only a misidentification of the 1892 species. Costa (1962) re-described and illustrated a species he called Gymnolaelaps canestrinii (Berlese, 1903), but he did not mention Laelaps canestrinii Berlese, 1892. Costa was wrong about this species because only the 1892 description and illustrations refer to the true species of canestrinii . Therefore Laelaps canestrinii sensu Berlese (1903), (1904) and Costa (1962) does not have a name. Therefore, we rename this species as Laelaspisella berlesei Joharchi, nom. n. (= Laelaps (Eulaelaps) canestrinii Berlese, 1903 = Laelaps (Hypoaspis) canestrinii Berlese, 1904 = Gymnolaelaps canestrinii (Berlese, 1903) sensu Costa, 1962) in honour of Antonio Berlese. In view of this confusion, it is difficult to determine the identity of the specimens cited under these names by other authors.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/ADF1DB54A71FF2F7C7FC00D2486A04D4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
