TYPE DEPOSITORY: of L. furcisetus: Laboratoire d’Acarologie, l’Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris , France; of L. lanciolatus: Canadian National Collection, Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada; accession number 7277.

TYPE LOCALITY AND HABITAT: of L. furcisetus: Bainem , Algeria, on bark of Pinus halepensis (Plantae: Pinaceae ); of L. lanciolatus: Davis , California, USA, on a grape (Plantae: Vitaceae ) bud in a greenhouse. NOTES: (a) Lindquist (1964a: 330; 1964b: 3895) and Farrier & Hennessey (1993: 38) considered L. lanciolatus to be a junior synonym of L. penicilliger . In this publication we have adopted the interpretation of Walter & Lindquist (1989: 2810), considering them to be distinct species; (b) Bregetova (1977a: 179) suspected that the specimens reported as Lasioseius (Lasioseius) ometisimilis Hirschmann by Westerboer (1963: 260) were actually L. furcisetus .
