Laelaps grubei Oudemans, 1938 : LXXI. Laelaps lemni (sic).— Oudemans, 1927 : 195 . Type locality. Northern Siberia. Type host. Lemmus obensis (Brants, 1827) = Lemmus sibiricus (Kerr, 1792) . Principal hosts. Lemmings of the genus Lemmus Link, 1795 (according to Zemskaya, 1973 ). Distribution. Northern Eurasia, from Scandinavia to Chukchi Peninsula ( Edler & Mehl, 1972 ; Zemskaya, 1973 ; Bogdanov, 1975 ; Nikulina, 2004 ). The species’ range coincides with the range of its principal hosts, Lemmus sibiricus and L . lemmus (L., 1758). In Asiatic Russia , the species inhabits the northern parts of Siberia and the Russian Far East; recorded also from Transbaikalia ( Nikulina, 2004 ). Although Lemmus is known from the Dutch fossil record ( Dieleman, 2013 ), a finding of this mite species from the Netherlands reported by Oudemans (1896) seems to be the result of misidentification.
