Genus Androlaelaps Berlese

Laelaps (Androlaelaps) Berlese, 1903a: 14 .

Type species Laelaps (Iphis) hermaphrodita Berlese, 1887; by original designation.

Diagnosis. The diagnosis of Androlaelaps used here is based on that of Evans & Till (1966) [in part] and Shaw (2014).

Remarks. Until now, eight species considered to belong to Androlaelaps have been reported from Egypt: Androlaelaps casalis (Berlese, 1887), A. aegypticus Hafez, Elbadry & Nasr, 1982, A. zaheri Hafez, Elbadry & Nasr, 1982, A. reticulus Hafez, Elbadry & Nasr, 1982, A. kifli Metwally & Ibrahim, 1985, A. (Haemolaelaps) orientalis Ibrahim & Abdel-Samad, 1990, A. lehfeni Oyoun & El Kady, 1995; A. bayoumi Basha & Yousef, 2000 . Basha & Yousef (2000) provided a key to the Egyptian species of Androlaelaps, but the species A. bayoumi, A. kifli and A. lehfeni were not included in their key. We had no opportunity to examine the type material of these species.
