The Neotropical bat-ectoparasite family Spelaeorhynchidae comprises seven species into in one genus. The species Spelaeorhynchus praecursor is the most distributed in the region, parasitizing phyllostomid bats of the subfamilies Carolliinae, Glossophaginae and Stenodermatinae. The present study expands the known geographic distribution of this species, providing new host records, as well as the first SEM images detailing the main characteristics of this species.
新热带区蝙蝠外寄生虫类的斯氏螨科包含一个属中的七个物种。先驱斯氏螨是该区域分布最广的物种,寄生于卡罗利叶口蝠亚科、长舌叶口蝠亚科和狭面叶口蝠亚科的叶口蝠科蝙蝠。本研究扩展了该物种已知的地理分布范围,提供了新的宿主记录,以及详细展示该物种主要特征的首批扫描电子显微镜图像。
