The cat fur mite, Lynxacarus radovskyi Tenorio, 1974 (Acarina: Astigmata: Listrophoridae) is reported from cats, Felis catus from three sites in peninsular Malaysia. The first site is a Malay village, Kampong Menteri in Taiping, Perak, where the mites were found on local pet cats. The other two sites are urban cities of Kuala Lumpur, in the Federal Territory and Georgetown, in the island of Penang. Mites from the urban areas were collected from stray cats. Although several ectoparasites (fleas, mites, ticks and lice) have been previously reported, L. radovskyi is recorded herein for the first time on cats from peninsular Malaysia.
猫毛螨,即罗氏灵猫螨(Lynxacarus radovskyi Tenorio,1974)(蜱螨亚纲:粉螨目:蠕形螨科),在马来西亚半岛三个地点的家猫(Felis catus)身上被发现。第一个地点是霹雳州太平市的马来村庄甘榜 Menteri,在当地宠物猫身上发现了螨虫。另外两个地点是联邦直辖区吉隆坡市和槟城岛的乔治市。城市地区的螨虫是从流浪猫身上采集的。尽管此前已经报道过几种体表寄生虫(跳蚤、螨虫、蜱虫和虱子),但罗氏灵猫螨在此首次记录于马来西亚半岛的猫身上。
