Laelaspis kamalii Joharchi & Halliday , in Joharchi et al., 2012: 2004 .

Material examined Holotype (ARS-20131018-4a) borrowed from JAZM.

Notes

Laelaspis kamalii Joharchi and Halliday, 2012 was described from Iran ( Joharchi et al. 2012), where it was found in nests of Tapinoma sp. ( Hymenoptera : Formicidae ). Joharchi et al. (2012) did not provide any illustrations for legs, so we now provide some additional figures to support the original description ( Figs. 39–43 ). Joharchi et al. (2012) stated that the tibia of the palp has 12 setae, but we now correct that to 14 setae.
