  • Title: Bolivian ectoparasites: a new species of laelapine mite (Acari: Parasitiformes, Laelapidae) from the rodent Neacomys spinosus.
    Author: Gettinger D, Gardner SL.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 2005 Feb; 91(1):49-52. PubMed ID: 15856871.
    Abstract:
    Laelaps neacomydis n. sp. is described from the pelage of the rodent Neacomys spinosus collected in Bolivia. Collection records from northern Brazil, southeastern Peru, and central Bolivia indicate its wide distribution across Amazonas associated with rodents of the genus Neacomys. The formal taxonomic description and illustrations are derived from the adults (female and male). Two larger species of laelapine mites, Gigantolaelaps intermedius and L. boultoni, infest the same hosts at the same localities.
