Abstract
In an effort to understand the fauna of edaphic mites of the genus Lasioseius Berlese (Blattisociidae) from Brazil, a new species was found and it is here described as Lasioseius biota Barros & Castilho sp. nov. It is rather unusual among the Lasioseius species for having dorsal setae mostly bacillate or saber- to leaf-shapped. The other species considered in this paper is Lasioseius meridionalis Chant, morphologically known only from the original description, based solely on the holotype female (from USA). Information resulting from the re-examination of the holotype and on females collected from Brazil is provided. This is the first record of this species in Brazil. With this publication, the total number of Lasioseius species reported from Brazil adds to 19 and a key for the separation of females of these species is provided.
期刊介绍：
Systematic and Applied Acarology (SAA) is an international journal of the Systematic and Applied Acarology Society (SAAS). The journal is intended as a publication outlet for all acarologists in the world.
There is no page charge for publishing in SAA. If the authors have funds to publish, they can pay US$20 per page to enable their papers published for open access.
SAA publishes papers reporting results of original research on any aspects of mites and ticks. Due to the recent increase in submissions, SAA editors will be more selective in manuscript evaluation: (1) encouraging more high quality non-taxonomic papers to address the balance between taxonomic and non-taxonomic papers, and (2) discouraging single species description (see new special issues for single new species description) while giving priority to high quality systematic papers on comparative treatments and revisions of multiple taxa. In addition to review papers and research articles (over 4 printed pages), we welcome short correspondence (up to 4 printed pages) for condensed version of short papers, comments on other papers, data papers (with one table or figure) and short reviews or opinion pieces. The correspondence format will save space by omitting the abstract, key words, and major headings such as Introduction.
