Remarks. Gaeolaelaps nolliwas described from agricultural soil and grassland in Germany( Karg, 1962). It is now recorded in Egyptfor the first time, from soil. The synonymy presented above reveals some confusion about the identity of this species. Much of the information on this species has been published under the names Gaeolaelaps praesternalisor Hypoaspis( Gaeolaelaps) praesternalis. The original description of Hypoaspis praesternalisby Willmann (1949)is brief, and both the description and illustrations lack some important details. The description of Hypoaspis nolli Karg, 1962is more detailed, but does not include a direct comparison with H. praesternalis. Evans & Till (1966)synonymised these two species, but did not provide any explanation for that decision, and did not give details of the specimens they examined. This has probably led to the ambiguity about the identification of these two different species. Karg (1993)included both species in his key to species of Hypoaspis( Geolaelaps). The first author had the chance to examine both species in Karg’s collection which deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlinin Germany. Thus, we can easily distinguish between these two species as follows: 1- size of body in G. nolliis larger than G. praesternalis( Figs 28 & 31). 2- dorsal shield setae short, none of them reach to base of next setae in G. praesternaliswhile much longer in G. nolli(some setae in the opisthonotal region long enough to reach the base of the next posterior setae) ( Figs 28 & 31). 3- ornamentation of genital shield, posterior eight irregular cells flanked by a median inverse Y-shaped ornamentation in G. nolliwhile in G. praesternaliswith the same inverse Y-shaped ornamentation medially but almost completely smooth (or faintly reticulated) posteriorly ( Figs 29 & 32). 4- the length of the peritreme short, reaches to mid-level of coxa II in G. nolliwhile much longer in G. praesternalis(reaches at least to anterior level of coxa I) ( Figs 30 & 33). 5- tarsus IV with two very long setae pd2, pd 3in G. nolliwhile tarsus IV without any long setae in G. praesternalis( ad2and ad3longer than other setae on segment). We have been unable to locate the holotypeof H. praesternalis. It is not present in the Willmann collection in the Zoologische Staatssammlungen, München (Stefan Friedrich, pers. comm.). The information on morphological characters of G. praesternalisis based on the two females (ZMB Kat. Nr. 41038 & ZMB Kat. Nr. 41054) from Germanyin museum für naturkunde, Berlin, Germany, identified by Prof. Dr. habil. Wolfang Karg as Hypoaspis praesternalis Willmann, 1949.
