Cosmolaelaps hortensis (Ishikawa)

Hypoaspsis (Cosmolaelaps) hortensis Ishikawa, 1986: 174 . Cosmolaelaps hortensis . — Moreira et al., 2014: 319.

Specimens examined. 48 females and one male, Jecheon-si, Chungbuk province, Republic of Korea, 37°08' N, 128°15' E, alt. 468 m, 22 Aug 2014, E. Keum coll., in breeding farm of beetles, on adult female Allomyrina dichotoma (Linnaeus) ( Coleoptera View in CoL : Scarabaeidae View in CoL ) (deposited in PMANU).

Notes. Cosmolaelaps hortensis was described from Japan ( Ishikawa, 1986). It has been found associated with a millipede species, Oxidus gracilis (Koch) ( Polydesmida : Paradoxosomatidae ), and is now recorded in Republic of Korea for the first time, on the rhinoceros beetle A. dichotoma . Our specimens agree well with the description given by Ishikawa (1986). The species is easily recognised by the long setae of the dorsal shield (most setae long enough to reach well past the base of the next posterior seta) and the fixed digit of the female’s chelicera with two large and six small teeth.
