Description

14. Laelaps semitectus (L. Koch, 1879)

Sejus semitectus L. Koch, 1879: 123, Taf. V, fig. 5.

Ichoronyssus semitectus. — Ewing, 1923: 13.

Laelaps hilaris. — Kramer & Neuman, 1883: 529, non C.L. Koch, 1836.

Laelaps pachypus. — Kramer & Neuman, 1883: 529, non Hermann, 1804 nec C.L. Koch, 1838.

Laelaps semitectus. — Strandtmann & Wharton, 1958: 69; Grokhovskaya, 1960: 1093; Tipton, 1960: 307; Nikulina, 1987: 230, 232.

Liponyssus semitectus. — Trågärdh, 1904: 31, textfigs 48–51.

Type locality. Novaya Zemlya Archipelago, Gåskup. Type hosts. Myodes obensis = Lemmus sibiricus.

Principal host. The Arctic lemming, Dicrostonyx torquatus (according to Pallas, 1778) (Belyaev, 1969; Bogdanov, 1975; Nikulina, 2004).

Distribution. Northern Eurasia, from Arkhangel’sk Region of Russia eastwards to northeastern Asia, including Wrangel Island (Belyaev, 1969; Zemskaya, 1973; Nikulina, 2004); Greenland (Trågärdh, 1904). A record of this species from Sweden was questioned by Edler & Mehl (1972). Indeed, D. torquatus is not known to occur in Scandinavian countries (Panteleev, 1998), and the finding of L. semitectus there seems unlikely. However, both Lemmus and Dicrostonyx occupied much wider geographic ranges in the recent geological history (Fedorov & Goropashnaya, 1999).
