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

Two new species of spinturnicid mites of the genus Peliglischrus 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 Periglisch...

Descripción
Sumario:Two new species of spinturnicid mites of the genus Peliglischrus 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.
