  • Parasites of Western Australia V Nasal Mites from Bats (Acari: Gastronyssidae and Ereynetidae) (1)
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1979,7 (1) ~ PARASITES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA V NASAL MITES FROM BATS (ACARI: GASTRONYSSIDAE AND EREYNETIDAE) (1) A. FAIN* and F.S. LUKOSCHUSt [Received 6 October 1977. Accepted 16 November 1977. Published 26 February 1979.] ABSTRACT Two species of parasitic mites have been observed in nasal cavities of flying foxes: Opsonyssus asiaticus Fain, 1959 in Pteropus alecto and P. scapulatu8 (new host records) and Neospeleognathopsis (Pteropignathus) pteropus n. sp. from P. scapula tus, the latter representing a new subgenus of Neo­ speleognathopsis. INTRODUCfION In the nasal cavities of bats from Western Australia, the junior author col1ected two species of mites belonging to the family Gastronyssidae (Order Astigmata), and Ereynetidae (Order Prostigmata). One of these is a new species and is described here. FAMILY GASTRONYSSIDAE Fain, 1956 SUBFAMILY RODHAINYSSINAE Fain, 1964 Genus Opsonyssus Fain, 1959 Opsonyssus asiaticus Fain, 1959 This species has been described from the nasal cavities of Pteropus giganteus (Brünn) and of Pteropus melanopogon Peters, both from unknown localities. * Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium. t Department of Zoology, Catholic University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands. 57 ln Western Australia we found a small series of specimens of that species in two new hosts: 1 Pteropus alecto Temminck, 1825, from Brooking Springs, 8.X.1976 (bat no. 2969) (one male and one female specimen). 2 Pteropus scapulatus Peters, 1862, from Geikie Gorge, 6.X.1976 (bat no. 2947) (five females and two males). FAMILY EREYNETIDAE Oudemans, 1931 SUBFAMILY SPELEOGNATINAE Womersley, 1936 Genus Neospeleognathopsis Fain, 1958 Subgenus Pteropignathus subg. nov.

Fleas (Siphonaptera) are Cretaceous, and Evolved with Theria Qiyun Zhu1, Michael Hastriter2, Michael Whiting2, 3, Katharina Dittmar1, 4* Jan. 23, 2015 Abstract: Fleas (order Siphonaptera) are highly-specialized, diverse blood-feeding ectoparasites of mammals and birds with an enigmatic evolutionary history and obscure origin. We here present a molecular phylogenetic study based on a compre- hensive taxon sampling of 259 flea taxa, representing 16 of the 18 extant families of this order. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree with strong nodal support was recovered, consisting of seven sequentially derived lineages with Macropsyllidae at the base and Stephanocircidae as the second basal group. Divergence times of flea lineages were estimated based on fossil records and host specific associations to bats (Chiroptera), showing that the common ancestor of extant Siphonaptera split from its clos- est mecopteran sister group in the Early Cretaceous and basal lineages diversified during the Late Cretaceous. However, most of the intraordinal divergence into families took place after the K-Pg boundary. Ancestral states of host association and bioge- ographical distribution were reconstructed, suggesting with high likelihood that fleas originated in the southern continents (Gondwana) and migrated from South America to their extant distributions in a relatively short time frame. Theria (placental mammals and marsupials) represent the most likely ancestral host group of extant Siphonaptera, with marsupials occupying a more important role than previously assumed.

Bv. 120 s/n e/ Av. 60 y calle 61, 1900 La Plata, Argentina. [email protected] Abstract. A high diversity of fleas parasitizing sigmodontine rodents has been mentioned for Patagonia. Several of these fleas have been described having their type localities in the region, including several endemic taxa. For many species, however, the original descriptions are brief and there are no new morphological contributions. In the present study we report 8 species of fleas (Ctenophthalmidae, Rhopalopsyllidae and Stephanocircidae) parasitizing sigmodontine rodents from Argentinean Patagonia. Nineteen new parasite–host associations are reported and all studied fleas extend their known geographic range. Among them, Tiarapsylla argentina is mentioned for the first time for Patagonia; Craneopsylla minerva, Sphinctopsylla ares, Polygenis (P.) platensis and Polygenis (P.) rimatus are registered for the first time for Chubut, and Agastopsylla boxi, Ectinorus (E.) ixanus and Ectinorus (E.) hapalus for Santa Cruz, extending the southernmost limit of their geographical distribution. Also, for A. boxi and T.

    Gharaibeh, B. M. 1997. Systematics, distribution, and zoogeography of mammals of Tunisia. Thesis: 1-369. Keywords: 1TN/Acinonyx jubatus/caracal/Caracal caracal/cheetah/distribution/Felis margarita/Felis silvestris/Felis silvestris lybica/leopard/Leptailurus serval/lion/mammals/Panthera leo/Panthera pardus/records/sand cat/serval/systematics/taxonomy/wildcat/zoogeography Abstract: The taxonomic identity of each species of mammals that occurs in the Republic of Tunisia, North Africa has been determined to the subspecific level. History of names was followed and descriptions of types were studied to better provide opinions on the nomenclamre and minimize the confusion existing in the literature concerning the taxonomic identity of many Tunisian species. Keys to distinguish related taxa were constructed and maps depicting the distribution of species within the borders of Tunisia and in the whole North African region were drawn. These maps show original records obtained during this study as well records reported in the literature. Furthermore, the available natural history information on the Tunisian mammal fauna and background information on the vegetation, rainfall, topography, and land forms of the country were presented. Chromosomal G-band data for Merlones shawl from Tunisia, hitherto unavailable, was used to reexamine proposed chromosomal homologies and update the phylogenetic tree of Family Gerbillidae. G-banded chromosomal complement for Jaculus orlentalls was reported. Notable differences in pelage color were seen between populations of the North African elephant shrew, Elephantulus rozetl in northern and southern Tunisia. However, no disjunction was seen in morphometric measurements analyzed using principal components analysis (PCA). Differences in pelage color between 5 populations of Gerblllus campestrls are discussed.

  • DESCRIPTIONS of NEW SPECIES of HYSTRICHOPSYLLID FLEAS with NOTES on ARCHED PRONOTAL COMBS, CONVERGENT EVOLUTION and ZOOGEOGRAPHY (Siphonaptera)1
    Pacific Insects 9 (4) : 603-677 20 November 1967 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF HYSTRICHOPSYLLID FLEAS WITH NOTES ON ARCHED PRONOTAL COMBS, CONVERGENT EVOLUTION AND ZOOGEOGRAPHY (Siphonaptera)1 By Robert Traub2 and Thomas M. Evans3 Abstract: It is suggested that the peculiar arched or flared pronotal comb, now known to occur in 8 genera and 5 families of fleas, is an example of convergent evolution in shrew-fleas or macroscelid-fleas. The following new species are described and illustrated, and are cited as exhibiting modifications in the genal or pronotal spines which are asso­ ciated with the phylogeny of the host, or else with its habits or environment: Palaeop- sylla recava n. sp. ex shrews in Taiwan; P. apsidata n. sp. ex Crocidura in the mountains of Malaya; P. setzeri n. sp. ex Hyperacrius burrowing-voles in the Himalayas of W. Paki­ stan ; P. remota nesicola n. ssp. primarily ex Taiwanese Anourosorex; Doratopsylla wissemani n. sp. ex Sorex in W. Pakistan; and Corrodopsylla harrerai n. sp. ex Sorex in Guerrero, Mexico. The hitherto unknown female of Xenodaeria telios Jordan 1932, ex shrews, etc. in the Himalayas, is described and illustrated. Discussions on the geographic and host-distribu­ tion of some fleas in W. Pakistan and on "adaptive" modifications of the pronotal and genal spines of shrew-fleas are presented. The genus Corrodopsylla is shown to be high­ ly unusual in possessing pseudosetae on the first tergum and comments are made about this structure, on apical spinelets and combs of spines in certain fleas. Fleas of the family Hystrichopsyllidae are intimately associated with rodents and insec­ tivores and hence are frequently encountered in field studies on vectors and reservoirs of viral and rickettsial infections, such as those undertaken by field teams of the Depart­ ment of Microbiology of the University of Maryland School of Medicine conducted in West Pakistan and elsewhere.
