Eudusbabekia paralepidoseta new species, was recorded on the Hart's little fruit bat Enchistenes hartii (Thomas) in the southern part of Mexico. The female and male are described and illustrated. E. paralepidoseta n. sp. represents the 32nd species in the genus. From the 31 known species of Eudusbabekia known to infest phyllostomid and mormoopid bats, E. paralepidoseta n. sp. has some morphological features similar to Eudusbabekia lepidoseta Jameson, 1971, including shapes of almost all dorsal and ventral setae; the presence of a patch of supernumerary; mostly broad to thick, medium, and almost scale-like setae; and the absence of setae 2b. However, E. paralepidoseta n. sp. can be differentiated from E. lepidoseta, by the reduced number of supernumerary setae on the female venter (37-43). The close morphological and therefore evolutionary similarities between E. lepidoseta and E. paralepidoseta n. sp. suggest possible close evolutionary relationships between their hosts, Sturnira lilium (Geoffroyi and St.-Hilaire) and E. hartii, which belong to the monophyletic subfamily Stenodermatinae.
新种 Eudusbabekia paralepidoseta 记录于墨西哥南部的哈氏小果蝠 Enchistenes hartii (Thomas)上。本文对雌性和雄性个体进行了描述和图示。E. paralepidoseta n. sp. 是该属的第 32 个种。在已知的 31 种寄生于叶口蝠和犬吻蝠的 Eudusbabekia 中，E. paralepidoseta n. sp. 具有一些与 Eudusbabekia lepidoseta Jameson, 1971 相似的形态特征，包括几乎所有背、腹须的形状；存在超数的斑块；主要是宽而厚、中等、几乎鳞片状的须；以及没有须 2b。然而，E. paralepidoseta n. sp. 可以通过雌性腹部的超数须数量减少（37-43）与 E. lepidoseta 区分开来。E. lepidoseta 和 E. paralepidoseta n. sp. 之间的形态和因此进化上的相似性表明，它们的宿主，Sturnira lilium (Geoffroyi 和 St.-Hilaire) 和 E. hartii 之间可能存在密切的进化关系，它们属于单系的 Stenodermatinae 亚科。
