AB - Mites of the family Chirodiscidae (Acariformes: Sarcoptoidea) are permanent mono- or stenoxenous symbionts of mammals living in the fur of their hosts. Among three genera included in the tribe Schizocarpini (Labidocarpinae), members of the genus Lutrilichus Fain inhabit small carnivores of the families Mustelidae and Viverridae (Carnivora). The external morphology of postembrionic stages of Lutrilichus javanicus Fain, 1970 (Acariformes: Chirodiscidae), collected from Melogale moschata (Gray, 1831) (Mustelidae) in Vietnam, is described. This is the second report of this mite species, previously known from a single female specimen from Melogale orientalis Blanford, 1888 in Java, and the first description of the immature stages in the genus Lutrilichus.
