Species of Demodex live in hair follicles and sebaceous glands of many species of mammals. Demodex macaci n .sp. is described (all life stages) from a captive rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta (Zimmermann, 1780). Mites were found at all levels of the hair follicles and occasionally in sebaceous glands of the skin of the perineal region. This is the first description of a demodectic hair follicle mite from the primate family Cercopithecidae.
蠕形螨寄生于多种哺乳动物的毛囊和皮脂腺中。新种猕猴蠕形螨（Demodex macaci n.sp.）是从一只圈养的恒河猴（Macaca mulatta，齐默尔曼，1780年）身上描述的（所有生活阶段）。在会阴区皮肤的毛囊各层均发现螨虫，偶尔也见于皮脂腺。这是首次对猕猴科灵长类动物的毛囊蠕形螨进行描述。
