Before present study, &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; was found in some parts of Hunan province, China with a narrow geographical distribution. During field investigation 2016-2017, we found &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; in Jingha, southern Yunnan, China. Of 15 small mammal host species, &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; were collected from 6 species of the hosts. Rattus brunneusculus was a dominant host of &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt;, from which 98.3% of the mites were collected. The chigger mite showed a relatively high infestation prevalence (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;sub&gt;M&lt;\/sub&gt;&lt;\/i&gt;=11.7%) and mean abundance (&lt;i&gt;MA&lt;\/i&gt;=0.5) in comparison with the rest 5 host species. These results reveal a certain host specificity of &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; to a rat &lt;i&gt;R. brunneusculus&lt;\/i&gt;. The mite &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; showed an aggregated distribution on the host (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;0.05). A positive correlation observed between &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; and the body length of hosts. There was a positive interspecific association between &lt;i&gt;L. sialkotense&lt;\/i&gt; and 2 other dominant vectors, &lt;i&gt;L. deliense&lt;\/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;L.
