“…2b), and the size of the dorsal setae (Fig. 2c) is larger than those presented in the description by Vitzthum (1931) and Radovsky (1967) for C. venezolanus. Thus, the individuals captured by us constitute the record of a new species for the genus, but in order to describe these exemplars new collections must be made so that adult individuals of both sexes are captured.…”

A total of 71 bat flies belonging to families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae, and 37 mites were collected on 12 species of bats (Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae) from the Chapada do Abanador (Minas Gerais, Brazil), between July 2009 and April 2010. Two new occurrences of ectoparasites were recorded on Histiotus velatus (bat fly Basilia producta) and on Carollia perspicillata (mite Parichoronyssus bakeri). Five new occurrences were recorded for the state of Minas Gerais, increasing the range for bat flies Anatrichobius passosi, Paraeuctenodes similis, Basilia juquiensis, Basilia producta and for mite Periglischrus vargasi. Moreover, two new species of mites were recorded for Brazil (P. bakeri and Macronyssus aff. leislerianus). With regard to infracommunities, the most frequent association was between Anastrebla modestini and Exastinion clovisi on bat Anoura geoffroyi. This study contributed to characterize the fauna of bat ectoparasites in representative but poorly-sampled environments of the Atlantic Forest, the campos de altitude (high altitude grasslands) and cloud forests of southern Minas Gerais.

“…Actuellement, peu de renseignements concernant l'écologie des Spinturnicidae figurent dans la littérature scientifique mondiale. Quelques données concernent la localisation de ces parasites sur leurs hôtes : le patagium constitue presque exclusi vement le dermecos (4) signalé par les auteurs ainsi que l'uropatagium, sans qu'une localisation précise soit donnée comme une caractéristique d'espèce [Frisch (1728), Kolenati (1859), Vitzthum (1932), Rudnick (I960)]. Kolenati (1859) et Vitzthum (1941) ont signalé les genres Meristaspis et Ancystropus sur les paupières et dans l'angle de l'oeil de leurs hôtes ; cette localisation n'a pas été retrouvée par Rudnick (1960).…”

Spinturnicid mites are ectoparasites that infest the wings of bats, and species of the genus Periglischrus Kolenati, 1857 are associated exclusively with bats of the family Phyllostomidae. We tested the hypothesis that a long-term evolutionary association led P. iheringi to choose very specific wing locations to infest the great fruit-eating bats, Artibeus lituratus. Seven anatomical wing regions and the uropatagium from 140 bats were analyzed and a total of 78 parasites were collected. Periglischrus iheringi had a significant preference for the plagiopatagium and dactylopatgium major wing regions (i.e., large, proximal regions) and infestation was directly correlated to area (r=0.9744). However, other factors may also influence mite choice, such as higher and more stable temperature and humidity, vascularization and lower risk of displacement.Keywords: Anatomical preference, Artibeus lituratus, bat, Periglischrus iheringi, southeastern Brazil. ResumoSpintunicídeos são ácaros ectoparasitos encontrados nas asas dos morcegos, e espécies do gênero Periglischrus são associadas exclusivamente com morcegos filostomídeos. Foi testada a hipótese de que a longa associação evolutiva entre ácaro e hospedeiro, permitiu P. iheringi escolher uma localização específica na asa do morcego-das-frutas, Artibeus lituratus. Sete regiões anatômicas da asa e o uropatágio de 140 morcegos foram analisados, e um total de 78 ácaros foram coletados. Periglischrus iheringi apresentou preferência significativa para as regiões denominadas plagiopatágio e dactilopatágio largo (ou seja, regiões grandes e proximais), e sua infestação está correlacionada com o tamanho apresentado por essas áreas (r=0.9744). No entanto, outros fatores também podem influenciar a escolha parasitária, tal como a estabilidade da temperatura e umidade, maior vascularização e menor risco de deslocamento.Palavras-chave: Preferência anatômica, Artibeus lituratus, morcego, Periglischrus iheringi, sudeste do Brasil.
