New species of a fur mite of the genus Alabidocarpus (Acari: Chirodiscidae) associated with Desmodus rotundus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from Mexico, including a key to the American species

Résumé

Derived from an extensive survey on the common vampire bat Desmodus rotundus (Geoffroy, 1810) in some localities along the Central region, and the Pacific and Atlantic slopes of Mexico, Chirodiscid fur mites of the genus Alabidocarpus were found exclusively in the country's southern region in the state of Oaxaca, where they turned out to be a new species. Here, we describe the adults and juveniles of this new Chirodiscid species. The present study increases the number of species of Alabidocarpus associated with American bats to seven; therefore, we include an updated key to known species in the American continent.
