Treatment

Hypoaspis orientalis Bhattacharyya, 1968: 543 .

Hypoaspis orientalis .— Prasad, 1974: 151; Pramanik & Raychaudhury, 1981: 16; Das, 2003: 290; Moraes et al., 2022:

Collection records in India: Netra Railway Station, Netra, 24 Parganas District, litter and soil under Adina cordifolia View in CoL ( Gentianales View in CoL : Rubiaceae View in CoL ) ( Bhattacharyya, 1968); West Bengal, in soil (Pramanik & Raychaudhury, 1981).

Notes: The available information on the morphology of this species does not allow its placement in a known genus with confidence ( Moraes et al., 2022).

Hypoaspis reticulatus Chaudhury et al., 2010

Hypoaspis reticulatus Chaudhury et al., 2010: 135 .

Collection records in India: from rat burrow ( Bandicota bengalensis View in CoL ) ( Rodentia View in CoL : Muridae View in CoL ) in West Bengal ( Chaudhury et al., 2010).

Notes: The available information on the morphology of this species does not allow its placement in a known genus with any confidence ( Moraes et al., 2022). Hypoaspis reticulatus Chaudhury et al., 2010 is a junior primary homonym of Hypoaspis reticulatus Sheals, 1962 , but we refrain from replacing it until the taxonomic placement of the species is resolved.

Pseudolaelaps splendens Chaudhury et al., 2010

Pseudolaelaps splendens Chaudhury et al., 2010: 136 .

Pseudolaelaps splendens .— Chaudhury et al., 2012: 2606; Mašán et al., 2015: 81.

Collection records in India: West Bengal, in rat burrow ( Chaudhury et al., 2010) ; West Bengal, in bird’s nests ( Chaudhury et al., 2012).

Notes: The familial placement of the genus Pseudolaelaps has been unstable, and it could be classified in the Pachylaelapidae or in a separate family Pseudolaelapidae in the Eviphidoidea ( Mašán & Halliday, 2014). Pseudolaelaps splendens is incorrectly placed in the genus Pseudolaelaps and should be placed in some other unknown family ( Mašán et al., 2015).
