The cosmopolitan mite family Laelapidae includes both free-living predatory species and species associated with arthropods, mammals or birds. This work presents a list of free-living and arthropod-associated species of laelapids, with corresponding taxonomic information and references. It includes 1088 species (in addition to three subspecies) assigned to 73 genera, 61 new combinations and two new synonymies at the generic level. Laelaps (Apolaelaps) Silvestri is raised to the generic level. Many of the species described before about 1950 are poorly characterised and cannot be classified with confidence at the family or generic level. Hence, ten genera, one subgenus, 121 species (ca. 70% of which were reported as Hypoaspis Canestrini or Laelaps (Hypoaspis) Canestrini) and one subspecies, are considered incertae sedis, because of their inadequate morphological characterisation in the literature. Some of these may not even belong to the Laelapidae or to the groups of interest for this publication. A total of 89 species, 30 genera, one subgenus, one tribe and one subfamily previously associated with genera treated in this catalogue are now placed in other families or, less commonly, in laelapid genera not considered here because they are considered essentially vertebrate parasites (taxa excluded). Twenty-six other species (one cited as a “variety”) are cited as nomina nuda. An illustrated key to the 73 genera included in the catalogue along with revised generic diagnoses are provided.

“…We herein consider Gaeolaelaps as a genus. So far, a total of twelve species were reported from Iran: Gaeolaelaps aculeifer (Canestrini), Gaeolaelaps nolli (Karg), Gaeolaelaps kargi (Costa), Gaeolaelaps queenslandicus (Womersley), Gaeolaelaps angusta (Karg), Gaeolaelaps angustiscutatus (Willmann), Gaeolaelaps praesternalis (Willmann), Gaeolaelaps minor (Costa), Gaeolaelaps postreticulatus (Xu & Liang), Gaeolaelaps deinos (Zeman), Gaeolaelaps oreithyiae (Walter & Oliver), and Gaeolaelaps glabrosimilis (Hirschmann, Bernhard, Greim & Götz) (Mosaddegh 1997, Nemati et al 2000, Kamali et al 2001, Hadad Irani-Nejad et al 2003, Mosavi et al 2004, Noei 2007, Faraji et al 2008, Babaeian et al 2010, Nemati and Babaeian 2010, Ramezani and Nemati 2010). During our survey of soil and litter habitats in Iran we discovered a thirteenth species, new to science, which we describe in this paper.…”

The Genus Gaeolaelaps Evans & Till, 1966 is currently one of the largest genera of the family Laelapidae Berlese. The known representatives of this genus are active predators of small invertebrates such as other mites, insect eggs and nematodes. Gaeolaelaps iranicus Kavianpour & Nemati sp. n., was collected from soil and litter in various parts of Iran. The description and figures of this species are given. A key to the Gaeolaelaps species of Iran is provided.
