TYPE DEPOSITORY: of L. dentatus: Department of Medical Zoology, School of Tropical Medicine, San Juan, Puerto Rico; of L. scapulatus: United States National Museum, Washington DC, USA; of L. analis: British Museum (Natural History), London, England.
TYPE LOCALITY AND HABITAT: of L. dentatus: Camp O’Reilly, Gurabo, Puerto Rico, on Rattus species or Mus m. musculus (sic) [Animalia: Muridae]; of L. scapulatus: Morgan Hill, California, USA, on eggs of Paria sp.

NOTES: (a) Evans (1958a: 224), Athias-Henriot (1959: 189) and Farrier & Hennessey (1993: 36) considered Lasioseius floridensis Berlese to be a senior synonym of L. (= Borinquolaelaps) dentatus Fox. We adopted the interpretation of Britto et al. (2011: 13), considering them to be distinct species; (b) Evans (1958b: 582) considered the possibility that L. dentatus could be a junior synonym of Lasioseius (Lasioseius) muricatus var. transoceanicus, a nomen nudum according to Evans (1958a: 224); (c) Farrier & Hennessey (1993: 36) considered L. floridensis to be a senior synonym of L. scapulatus, but Britto et al. (2011: 14) considered them to be distinct species; that latter interpretation is accepted in this publication; (d) Specimens reported as L. scapulatus by Athias-Henriot (1959: 175) were described by Karg (1980: 356) as Lasioseius scapulatosimilis.
