Remarks.
Sheals (1962)
described
Cosmolaelaps rectangularis
as a new species from Patagonia,
Argentina
, on the basis of
one female
specimen collected on an unspecified substrate. Subsequently,
Costa (1968)
redescribed the species based on female specimens and described the male of this species for the first time from
Israel
. This species has been recorded from North America, Europe and Asia from soil-litter or ant nests and is now recorded in
Russia
for the first time, from a nest of
Myrmica
sp
.. Our newly collected material agrees very well with the redescription given by
Costa (1968)
. This species can be readily recognised by the 39 pairs of spatulate-mucronate-tricarinate dorsal setae.
