A new mite, Lasioseius senegalensis n. sp. (Acari, Gamasina, Blattisociidae), is described. Lasioseius senegalensis n. sp. was found in Senegal on flowers of mistletoe Englerina lecardii (Engl.) Balle and on beaks of Scarlet-chested sunbirds Chalcomitra senegalensis (L. 1766) searching for food in the flowers of E. lecardii. L. senegalensis n. sp. differs from similar species by short smooth setae Z4, longer ventri-anal shield, number of ventrianal setae and absence of setae J1. A re-examination of the type material of Lasioseius cinnyris Fain and Mariaux, 1991 also was done and figures of the legs are newly presented.
