Specimens examined
One female, Alborz, Karaj, 35°56'N, 51°22'E, alt. 2000 m, 11 July 2011, O. Joharchi coll., in nest of Tetramorium caespitum.
Notes
Laelaspis humeratus was described from Luxemburg (Berlese 1904), and has been recorded from Latvia (Lapina 1976[3]; Salmane 2001a[7], 2001b[8]), Russia and Austria (Bregetova 1977), and England (Hull 1925[4]; Evans and Till 1966[2]). 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)[14] recorded an unidentified species as Laelaspis near humerata (Berlese 1904[1]), 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.
