Abstract

The family Spinturnicidae comprises 110 species, 17 recorded in Brazil. These mites are exclusively ectoparasites of bats and can be found in 13 different Chiropteran families. In this study, we provide 18S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and cox1 sequences for Periglischrus iheringi associated with Artibeus spp. in Brazil. We were able to identify this species based on the examination of the type specimens. In addition, the recently collected material was used to provide SEM micrographs to further assist in the characterization of this widespread species. (AU)
