Abstract: | A small collection of pilicolous (Acari: Chirodiscidae and Myobiidae) or skin mites (Sarcoptidae), collected from bats deposited in the Museum of natural History of Geneva, is studied. Thirteen species were identified and among them a new genus and species, Eurolabidocarpus helveticus, collected from Myotis daubentoni from Switzerland. Pseudoalabidocarpus secus MacDaniel, 1972 is synonymized with Pseudoalabidocarpus phyllostomi Fain, 1972. |
