Discussion: Two species, Pelops tardus Koch and P. planicornis 

 (Schrank), are known as vectors of the tapeworm Cittotaenia cte- 

 noides in Germany. 



The genus Lepidozetes is not typical of this group and may warrant 

 subfamily or family rank. It differs mainly in having large, coalesced 

 lamellae covering the entire propodosoma. The interlamellar setae are 

 small, the hysterosoma overlaps the propodosoma, there are six pairs 

 of genital setae, and the chelicerae are normal.

Diagnosis: Of the Pterogasterina these mites have large, movable, 

 hinged, winglike pteromorphs; the rounded anterior and posterior ends 

 project far over the line where they join the body. A suture between 

 the propodosoma and the hysterosoma may or may not be present. 

 The lamellae are weakly developed or lacking. Each genital plate has 

 six setae; the first anterior pair of circumanal setae is on the lateral 

 anterior margin of the anal opening.
