Two New Species of the Genus Periglischrus (Acari: Mesostigmata: Spinturnicidae) on Two Bat Species of the Genus Tonatia (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from Southeastern Mexico, with Additional Data from Panama

Description

(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Two new species of spinturnicid mites of the genus Periglischrus are described and illustrated from phyllostomid bats from southeastern Mexico: The female, male, and protonymph of Periglischrus steresotrichus, new species, from Tonatia evotis Davis & Carter, and the female and male of Periglischrus eurysternus, new species, from Tonatia saurophila Koopman & Williams. A supplementary description of the male deutonymph of P. eurysternus from T. saurophila from Panama is given. The morphological features of the two new species of Periglischrus are used as a basis for discussing their phylogeny and its potential relationship to that of their hosts.
