Asiolasma damingshan is notable for the absence of keels around the eyes and arrangement of large spines on the penial glans in males. [1] It relatively small species with slightly globular body; with a prolonged central anterior part of prosoma including ocular tubercle and hood markedly elevated, and eyes situated beyond the prosomal anterior margin. The central and two distal pairs of tubercles of the hood are longest and slender. Pedipalps relatively slender with tibia shorter than in the geographically closest species, A. schwendingeri. [2]

Cosmetidae is a family of harvestmen in the suborder Laniatores. With over 700 species, it is one of the largest families in Opiliones. They are endemic of the New World with a Nearctic-Neotropical distribution where a large fraction of the diversity of Opiliones are represented by this single family. Cosmetidae have the northern extent of their range into the USA, where a small number species occur in the southern states. However, the family is especially diverse in Mexico, Central America and northern South America; especially the Andean realms. Their range also extends further south into Argentina and southern Brazil, but they are absent in Chile. Cosmetidae are prevalent in Amazonian region, but only relatively few also occur in Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Several species are also found in the Caribbean.
