Cimex adjunctus Barber View in CoL

Ex Myotis lucifugus (little brown myotis): TN, Blount Co., Abrams Creek shed, 19 Jun. 2002, J. J. Bellwood, L2923.

This batbug is an ectoparasite of several species of bats mainly in the eastern United States including North Carolina ( Usinger 1966) . This record appears to be the first for C. adjunctus from Tennessee and from the Park. Cimex adjunctus might be a vector of a Bartonella sp. of bats ( Reeves et al. 2005a).
