Hypoaspis (Laelaspis) imitate (sic.) – Nemati and Babaeian, 2010: 364 (misidentification).

Remarks — This species was described from the former USSR in association with the rodent Meriones tristrami Thomas ( Reitblat, 1963) . It was reported from unidentified insects in Iran by Nemati and Babaeian (2010), but we have had the opportunity to examine specimen and we believe this was a misidentified specimen of Laelaspis mossadeghi , therefore Laelaspis imitatus Reitblat, 1963 is excluded from the Iranian fauna.
