Coleolaelaps asiaticus was described from Kazakhstan , and is now recorded for only the second time. All the specimens have come from beetles in the genus Polyphylla ( Karg & Rössner, 1999 ) . This species may be distinguished from most other species of Coleolaelaps by the presence of two postero-lateral setae on genu IV, the relatively short dorsal shield setae in the J series, and the short peritreme, which reaches only to the posterior margin of coxa I.
