Laelaps pallidus Trägårdh, 1931: 616, figs 145–147. Type locality. Italia (Toscana). Type host. Mus decumanus Pallas, 1778 = Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout, 1769). Principal hosts. Domestic rats of the genus Rattus Fischer, 1803. Distribution. Virtually cosmopolitan (in tropical and temperate zones). The range of L . echidninus coincides with the range of its principal hosts, Rattus spp. (Strandtmann & Mitchell, 1963; Zemskaya, 1973). In Asiatic Russia, the species has been recorded from Eastern Siberia and the Far East (Amur Region, Sakhalin Island), however, no recordings from Western Siberia are known to date (Zemskaya, 1973; Nikulina, 2004). Although Strandtmann & Mitchell (1963) report this mite from a wide range of hosts, including tupaids, sciurid rodents, and a wide range of muroid rodents, L . echidninus is primarily associated with the cosmopolitan domestic rat species Rattus rattus and R . norvegicus .
