D. A. Crossley, Matthew J. Clement

Abstract

A new species, Hoffmanniella solickiana (Acari: Trombiculidae), is described from specimens of Corynorhinus rafinesquii Lesson, 1827 (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) collected in southeastern counties of Georgia, USA. The new species differs from congeners by a different pattern of unbranched leg setae, number of body setae, and highly branched sensillae.
