Extract

1. A review is given of the Laelaptid paraphages of the Myriapoda with a key to the genera.

2. One new genus, Scolopendracarus (type: S. brevipilis) and a new subgenus, Parajacobsonia (type: Jacobsonia tertia Vitzthum) of the genus Jacobsonia Berl. are proposed.

3. The following three species are described as new to science: Jacobsonia (Jacobsonia) audyi, Scolopendracarus brevipilis, Hypoaspis (Hypoaspis) polydesmoides.

4. The phylogeny and classification of the family Laelaptidae Berl. are discussed. A key is given to the subfamilies of the Laelaptidae.
