Onchodellus glandularis
(

Pachylaelaps glandularis

.
Onchodellus glandularis
.—
Mašán, 2007: 109
;
Mašán & Halliday, 2014: 16
.
This species was erroneously recorded by
Ahadiyat & Cheraghali (2012)
from
Tehran Province
, although most morphological characteristics of its specimens were similar to those of
O
.
glandularis
provided in the identification key by
Mašán (2007)
. Subsequent examination by the senior author (AA) showed that this species seems to belong to a closely related species,
O
.
strigifer
. Therefore,
O
.
glandularis
has not yet been recorded from
Iran
, and we removed it from the Iranian species.
