A large, partly pedunculated mass on the scapular area of a wild-caught captive Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) consisted of a multiloculated keratin cyst inhabited by a new species of harpirhynchid mite (Harpirhynchus quasimodo). The mass did not interfere with flight or behavior. This is the first record of such an infestation of cowbirds in Florida.
一只野生捕获的圈养褐头牛鹂（Molothrus ater）肩胛区域有一个很大的、部分有蒂的肿块，该肿块由一个多房性角质囊肿组成，囊肿内寄生着一种新的哈氏螨（Harpirhynchus quasimodo）。这个肿块并未影响其飞行或行为。这是佛罗里达州此类牛鹂感染情况的首次记录。
