描述了在蝎尾蕉属和相关的卷叶植物栖息地中，与Cephaloleia属和Chelobasis属的刺甲虫和其他革螨有关的4个新描述种和1个未描述种的成虫和未成熟体中的一个新的毛绥螨种群。该种群具有一系列的近形属性，将其归入L亚属。（Lasioseius）.成虫和未成熟的被发现自由移动和关闭的甲虫时，后者从他们的栖息地暴露。幼虫是指成年女性怀孕与充分发展的幼虫。有限的数据表明相当大的主机之间的螨和他们的甲虫主机的特异性，这表明可能有一个巨大的多样性，这些螨与数百种的刺甲虫在新热带区。检索表提供了目前公认的种组和新的种组内的物种。
A new species-group of Lasioseius is described from adults and immatures of four newly described and one undescribed species associated with hispine beetles of the genera Cephaloleia and Chelobasis and other gamasine mites in the furled leaf habitat of Heliconia and related Zingiberales plants. The species-group presents a suite of apomorphic attributes placing it in the subgenus L. (Lasioseius). Adults and immatures were found moving freely on and off the beetles when the latter were exposed from their habitat. Larviparity is indicated by adult females gravid with fully developed larvae. Limited data suggest considerable host specificity between mites and their beetle hosts, indicating that there may be a vast diversity of these mites associated with hundreds of species of hispine beetles in the Neotropical Region. Keys are provided to currently accepted species-groups of Lasioseius and to the species within the new species-group.
