Scheloribates (S.) laevigatus * (C.L. Koch, 1835) View in CoL

Material examined – Table 2 (37, 40, 48).

Distribution – Semicosmopolitan (Holarctic and Paleotropical) ( Subías 2004, updated 2016).

Iranian localities – Heyran, Arasbaran and Jolfa ( Akrami 2015); Marand (Lotfollahi et. al. 2016).

Note – Weigmann et al. (2015) considered S. laevigatus as a synonym of S. labyrinthicus but, they did not give any reason for their action. We do not follow these authors because the labyrinth-like ornamentation is unique and consistent in all populations of S. labyrinthicus but all populations of S. laevigatus cuticle is smooth and without obvious ornamentation.
