Although the juvenile instars of oribatid mite family Lohmanniidae are well known compared to the other families of the infraorder Enarthronota, information on morphological ontogeny most known species is still lacking. Herein, a new species of the genus Lepidacarus is proposed from soil-litter of the Maafushi Island, Maldives, based on all ontogenetic instars. A comparative analysis of ontogenetic instars of species belonging various genera of Lohmanniidae is given, and the major characteristics of juvenile instars of 21 species are presented. From this analysis, it can be generalized that the juvenile morphologies of lohmanniid genera are quite similar and uniform, there is no significant features separating different genera of Lohmanniidae, and the juveniles of various genera differ from one another in the same characteristics as the adults.
尽管与下目Enarthronota的其他科相比，洛氏甲螨科的幼螨龄期较为人所知，但大多数已知物种的形态发育信息仍然缺乏。在此，基于所有发育龄期，从马尔代夫马富士岛的土壤凋落物中提出了鳞甲螨属的一个新物种。对洛氏甲螨科不同属物种的发育龄期进行了比较分析，并展示了21个物种幼螨龄期的主要特征。通过该分析可以归纳出，洛氏甲螨科各属的幼螨形态非常相似且一致，没有明显特征能区分洛氏甲螨科的不同属，并且各属幼螨在与成螨相同的特征上彼此不同。
