This paper describes morphological characteristics and the occurrence of Demodex corniculatus n. sp., which was found on Apodemus flavicollis in Poland. The yellow-necked murid mouse is a common European rodent; until now, it was parasitized by a single demodectic mite species, Demodex rosus, which occurs in the oral cavity and esophagus. The new species was found in hair follicles, particularly within hairy regions of the head and genital-anal area. Demodex corniculatus occurred in 33% of the yellow-necked mice examined. The new species is small (adult stages 140 μm in length); characteristic features of these mites are massive supracoxal spines (ca. 5-6 μm long) on the dorsal side of the gnathosoma and palps with thick-set, bifurcated terminal spines. This paper also contains a checklist of demodecids in European and cosmopolitan murids.
本文描述了在波兰黄颈姬鼠（Apodemus flavicollis）身上发现的角形蠕形螨（Demodex corniculatus n. sp.）的形态特征及发生情况。黄颈姬鼠是欧洲常见的啮齿动物；到目前为止，它仅被一种蠕形螨——玫瑰蠕形螨（Demodex rosus）寄生，该螨存在于口腔和食管中。新发现的物种存在于毛囊中，尤其是头部和生殖器 - 肛门区域的多毛部位。在所检查的黄颈姬鼠中，33%发现有角形蠕形螨。新物种体型较小（成虫体长140μm）；这些螨的特征是颚体背侧有粗大的基节上棘（约5 - 6μm长），触须有粗壮的分叉末端棘。本文还包含了欧洲和世界性啮齿动物中蠕形螨的名录。
