Notoedres (Bakeracarus) coreanus sp. n. (Acari: Sarcoptidae), a new intranasal sarcoptid mite from Pipistrellus savii (Ognev) from Korea. 1975

H S Ah

Notoedres (Bakeracarus) coreanus sp. n. from the mucosa of the nasal cavity of the swift bat, Pipistrellus savii (Ognev), is described. This sarcoptid mite is the third species of the subgenus Bakeracarus and is distinguished from other previously recognized species in having markedly reduced terminal setae on legs III and IV and in the presence of the sclerotized anal area. Unlike other members of this genus and the family Sarcoptidae, which are characteristically skin parasites, the new species is an intranasal parasite. The presence of greatly reduced whiplike terminal setae on legs III and IV and the general configuration of the body suggests the possibility of adaptive changes in structure to adjust to an intranasal mode of parasitism.
