( Fig. 25 View FIGURE 25 )
Microtrombicula paralios Webb and Loomis, 1970: 135 View in CoL , fig. 2; Hoffmann 1990: 93, fig. 56; Daniel & Stekolnikov 2003b: 31.
Diagnosis. SIF = 5B1N-N-2-3111.1000; fsp = 7.7.7; fCx = 1.1.1; fSt = 2.2; fPp = B/B/BBB; fSc: PL> AM> AL; Ip = 607–637; fD = 2H-6-6-6-4-4(6)-2; DS = 30–32; V = 26–30; NDV = 57–60. Palpal claw two-pronged, outer prong smaller; scutum nearly pentagonal, sparsely punctated, with distinct anterolateral shoulders, with angulate posterior margin; AM anterior to level of AL; sensilla flagelliform, with 8–10 branches in distal part, far anterior to level of PL (PSB—P-PL = 8–10 µm); sternal setae with few cilia or nude, coxal seta I with 2 branches, coxal seta II looks nude, coxal seta III with 3 branches. Standard measurements of examined specimens given in Table 15.
Distribution. Mexico ( Webb & Loomis 1970) and Paraguay (this study).
Hosts . Myotis vivesi Ménégaux (= Pizonyx vivesi ) ( Chiroptera : Vespertilionidae ) ( Webb & Loomis 1970).
New host records: Dendrocolaptes platyrostris , Paroaria capitata .
Material examined. Nine larvae ( ZIN 8950–8955 View Materials , 8957–8959 View Materials ) ex D. platyrostris No PG 238, PARAGUAY: San Rafael Nat. Park, Kanguery, 23 August 2012; 1 larva ( ZIN 9116 View Materials ) ex P. capitata No PG 439, Tres Gigantes Biological Station , 8 September 2012 .
Remarks. This species is very similar, by all available characters, to Microtrombicul a fragibarba ( Brennan and Jones, 1960) , but the latter was described incompletely. A careful redescription of M. fragibarba is required to establish the possible conspecificity of these species.
