Introduction
The genus Lasioseius has previously been placed in the Family Ascidae. However, it is here placed in the Family Blattisociidae, following the classification in Lindquist et al. (2009). A complete synonymy for the genus and a review of some important diagnostic characters was provided by Walter & Lindquist (1997). Beaulieu & Weeks (2007) reviewed the state of knowledge and ecological significance of this group in Australia. Many undescribed species are known to exist, as reported for example by Stone & Simpson (1990), Walter (1995, 1999), Walter et al. (1994), Walter & Lindquist & (1995), Waite & Gerson (1995), Proctor et al. (2011), Manwaring et al. (2018) and Walter & Stirling (2018).
