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.
