Collection records in India: Northeast Frontier Agency, pine litter on bank of Tenga River ( Bhattacharyya, 1967); West Bengal, in soil ( Pramanik & Raychaudhuri, 1981); southern India, on Tatera indica View in CoL and Bandicota bengalensis View in CoL ( Rodentia View in CoL : Muridae View in CoL ) ( Saxena, 1999); Jammu & Kashmir, Udhanpur, Phalata, Dehari, Rajauri, Naushera, Himachal Pradesh, Mahasu, Pipty at Rampur, Ratanadi at Baghi, on Mus musculus View in CoL ( Rodentia View in CoL : Muridae View in CoL ), Suncus murinus View in CoL (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae View in CoL ), Herpestes edwardsi View in CoL ( Carnivora View in CoL : Herpestidae View in CoL ) ( Bhat et al., 1983); south 24 Parganas District, West Bengal, in mushroom bed ( Mondal & Gupta, 2019); India, in mushroom culture ( Parveen & Gupta, 2020b); Assam, soil in tea plantation ( Ahmed et al., 2020); North Kerala, Pappinissery (Kannur), dried ginger ( Martin et al., 2020).

Notes: (1) Parveen & Gupta (2020b) recorded “ Hypoaspis berlesei (Oudemans) ” from mushrooms in West Bengal, and cited Mondal & Gupta (2019) as the source of that information. We are not aware of any species of Laelapidae with the specific name berlesei described by Oudemans. Mondal & Gupta (2019) recorded “ Hypoaspis berlese ”, in turn referring to a similar observation by Hoda et al. (1986). The paper by Hoda et al. (1986) is an account of the biology of Hypoaspis miles, so we believe Parveen & Gupta’s (2020b) record of “ Hypoaspis berlesei (Oudemans) ” should have referred to Hypoaspis miles. (2) Walter & Campbell (2003) drew attention to the difficulty in identifying Stratiolaelaps miles. Some or all of the Indian records may actually represent Stratiolaelaps scimitus ( Womersley, 1956) .
