NOTES:
Banks (1904: 58)
illustrated
Laelaps mexicanus
but did not provide any description.
Banks (1905: 138)
made the name available by providing the description.
Chant (1963: 295)
questioned the placement of this species in
Lasioseius
, arguing that it could belong to
Melichares
, which could only be done with the examination of the
type
specimens, which were lost.
