A New Species of Paraspeleognathopsis Fain (Acari: Ereynetidae) From an Australian Dasyurid Marsupial

R. Domrow¹

Abstract: The distinctive Paraspeleognathopsis exul sp. n. is the first ereynetid mite parasite to be described from an Australian marsupial (Anrechinus stuarrii Macleay, Dasyuridae). New synonymy : Paraspeleognarhopsis Fain, 1958 = Speleorodens Fain, 1962 = Speleomvs Fain, 1971.

This paper summarizes knowledge of the biodiversity and pathology associated with parasites of the respiratory tract of wild mammals, including feral species, in Australia. Representatives of 21 genera of nematodes distributed in the superfamilies Trichostrongyloidea, Metastrongyloidea, Thelazioidea, Filarioidea, Trichinelloidea and Muspiceoidea are included. Larval stages of the cestode, Echinococcus granulosus, occur in the lungs of macropodids and feral pigs (Sus scrofa). Trematodes occur in the lungs of dugongs (Dugong dugon) and in the cranial sinuses and blowholes of dolphins. Pentastomes occur in the lungs of the sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) and in the frontal sinuses of dingoes (Canis lupus dingo) and foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Nymphal stages of the latter have been found in the lungs of rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and nymphs of a pentastome of tree pythons occur in the lungs of the northern brown bandicoot (Isoodon macrourus). Pneumonyssid mites occur in the lungs of the northern brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula arnhemensis) and an undescribed speleognathine mite has been found in the lungs of P. breviceps. Trombiculid, tydeoid, dermanyssid and halarachnid mites are endoparasitic in the nasal sinuses of rodents, antechinuses, possums, gliders, elephant seals and fur seals. Larvae of oestrid bot-flies occur in the trachea of macropodids and in the nasal sinuses of camels (Camelus dromedarius). Host specificity in these parasites represents the full spectrum from species specific to class catholic with the intranasal chigger, Ascoschoengastia rattus, occuring in metatherian and eutherian mammals as well as varanid lizards. Similarly, pathological changes associated with these parasites range from inapparent to verminous bronchitis and bronchiolitis resulting in mortalities or severely impaired respiratory reserve or hypoxia precipitating death.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The prostigmatic mites (excluding Trombiculidae) parasitic on, or associated with, Australian vertebrates are reviewed, and keys and illustrations are provided to enable separation of all 45 genera and 121 species recognised. Two new species are described: Paraspeleognathopsis exaeta sp. nov. (Erynetidae), from the nasal passages of the marsupial Petaurus breviceps in New South Wales, and Radfordia hydromys Fain sp. nov. (Myobiidae). New synonymy in Ereynetidae: Boydaia Womersley, 1953 = Coboydaia Fain, 1971b; Neospeleognathopsis Fain, 1958b = Pteropignathus Fain & Lukoschus, 1979b; Psittaboydaia Fain, 1985 = Trichoglossiella Fain, 1985; in Myobiidae: Australomyobia dasycercus Fain, 1973a = A. d. antechinus Fain & Lukoschus, 1979d; Calcarmyobia miniopteris (Womersley, 1941a) = C. o. orianae Uchikawa, 1985c; Ewingana bispinosa Radford, 1948 = E. b. longispina Fain & Lukoschus, 1979c; Radfordia Ewing, 1938 = Pseudoradfordia Dubinin, 1957a = Syconycterobia Fain, 1973b; in Demodecidae: Demodex equi Railliet, 1893 = D. caballi Desch & Nutting, 1979a; D. ovis Railliet, 1893 = D. aries Desch, 1987; in Leeuwenhoekiidae: Odontacarus Ewing, 1929 = Leogonius Vercammen-Grandjean, 1968. A host-parasite list and bibliography are included.

The astigmatic mites (excluding feather mites) parasitic on, or associated with Australian vertebrates are reviewed, and keys and illustrations provided to enable separation of all 77 genera and 204 species recognised. Murichirus anabiotus, sp. nov. (Atopomelidae) is described from Pseudocheirus peregrinus (Boddaert) (Marsupialia: Petauridae). New synonymy in Echimyopodidae: Marsupiopus leporilli Fain, 1969a = M. l. pseudomys Fain & Lukoschus, 1976; in Acaridae: Thyreophagus Rondani, 1874 = Michaelopus Fain & Johnston, 1974; in Hypoderatidae: Hypodectes de Filippi, 1861 = Hypodectoides Fain & Bafort, 1966; Hypodectes propus (Nitzsch in Giebel, 1861) = H. p. bubulci Fain, 1967a = H. p. similimus Cerny, 1969; Neottialges Fain, 1966d = Suladectes Fain, 1969b; Tytodectes Fain, 1966d = Caprimuldectes Janssen Duijghuijsen, Lukoschus & Fain, 1979; in Laminosioptidae: Fainocoptes Lukoschus & Lombert, 1979 = Calamicoptes Lukoschus & Lombert, 1979 = Streetacarus Lukoschus & Lombert, 1979; Laminosioptes cisticola (Vizioli, 1868) = Acarus depilis Brown, 1897; in Listrophoridae: Leporacarus Fain, 1970b = Listracarus Domrow, present paper; in Chirodiscidae: Alabidocarpus recurvus (Womersley, 1943) = A. yandinae intersitus Fain & Lukoschus, 1981a; Dentocarpus Dusbabek & Cruz, 1966 = Paradentocarpus Fain, 1976a = Labidocarpellus Fain, 1976a; in Atopomelidae: Austrochirus Womersley, 1943 = Austrochiroides Fain, 1970e; Campylochirus Trouessart, 1893 = Campylochiroides Fain, 1971a; Dasyurochirus Fain, 1970e = Neodasyurochirus Fain, 1972a = Atopomelopsis Fain, 1972a; Dasyurochirus longipilis Fain, 1971a = Atopomelopsis gibberosa Fain, 1972a; D. sminthopsis (Womersley, 1954) = D. s. leucopus Fain & Lukoschus, 1981b; Murichirus Fain, 1971a = Murichiroides Fain, 1971a = Teinocheirus Fain & Lukoschus, 1981c; Murichirus a. alatus Fain & Lukoschus, 1981c = M. a. prosquamatus Fain & Lukoschus, 1981c. A host-parasite list and bibliography are included, and corrigenda and addenda to earlier parts of this checklist are provided. Laelaps elegans Canestrini, 1898 (Laelapidae) is a primary homonym of L. elegans Domrow, 1980a (= L. lampetes, nom. nov.); and L. manguinhosi calvescens Furman, 1972 of L. calvescens Domow, 1980b (= L. deanei, norn. nov.). Liponyssoides adsonis, sp. nov. (Dermanyssidae) is described from Climacteris leucophaea (Latham) (Passeriformes: Climacteridae).
