Systematics Of Neotropical Hirstionyssus Mites With Special Emphasis With Special Emphasis On Venezuela (Acarina: Mesostigmata), C. Selby Herrin, Conrad E. Yunker
Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series
This paper presents the results of a systematic study of mites of the genus Hirstionyssus Fonseca collected from mammals, primarily in Venezuela, but including one collection each from Colombia, Nicaragua, and British Honduras. Previously described species from Panamá and Brazil are reviewed and new distributional records are listed. The known Neotropical fauna of Hirstionyssus mites includes 15 species, 7 of which are described here as new: H. proctolatus n. sp.; H. brachysternum n. sp.; H. dorsolatus n. sp.; H. rhipidomys n. sp.; H, venezuelensis n. sp.; H. brevicalcar n. sp.; and H. parvisoma n. sp. The previously unknown male and …

The results of an extensive survey of spinturnicid mites of bats from Venezuela are presented in this paper. Approximately 30,000 bats were collected from a wide variety of life zones and localities. A representative sample was searched for ectoparasites. There are 3 genera of the family Spinturnicidae in Venezuela: Cameronieta, Periglischrus, and Spinturnix. Three previously described species of Cameronieta were found in the Venezuelan collection. Of the 7 species of Spinturnix previously described from the New World, 4 are reported from Venezuela. The genus Periglischrus constitutes by far the most significant segment of the Venezuelan collection. It is represented by …

Distribution And Abundance Of The Black-Billed Magpie (Pica Pica) In North America, Carl E. Bock, Larry W. Lepthien
Distribution And Abundance Of The Black-Billed Magpie (Pica Pica) In North America, Carl E. Bock, Larry W. Lepthien
Great Basin Naturalist
Analysis of Audubon Society Christmas bird count data and certain environmental variables shows the degree to which the Black-billed Magpie is a bird of cool arid regions in North America. The abundance and distribution of this species appear to be limited by two major climatic barriers: increasing summer temperatures in the Southwest and increasing summer humidity and precipitation on the central plains.
Mallophaga Of Venezuelan Mammals, K. C. Emerson, Roger D. Price
Mallophaga Of Venezuelan Mammals, K. C. Emerson, Roger D. Price
Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series
Seven species of Mallophaga have been previously reported from Venezuelan mammals. In this paper an additional 28 species and subspecies, 7 of which are new, are reported from Venezuela; and 21 other species which have not been previously reported from Venezuela are included because their hosts are found there.

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series
Detailed or summarized records of 136 species in 38 genera with a key to the latter are provided. Of 86 described forms, 49 are new for Venezuela; the remaining undescribed taxa are coded for purposes of this report. A classified host-parasite list is appended.

Brigham Young University Science Bulletin, Biological Series
Neotropical representatives of the subfamily Leeuwenhoekinae are reviewed. The genus Odontacarus comprises 66 percent of the chiggers examined, and 82 percent of this genus were identified as O. tubercularis (Brennan). The following genera are redescribed: Albeckia Veracammen-Grandjean and Watkins, Leeuwenhoekia Oudemans, Odontacarus Ewing, Sasacarus Brennan and Jones, Wagenaaria Brennan, and Whartonia Ewing. New taxa are: Odontacarus comosus comosus, O. c. novemsetus, O. dienteslargus, O. pugnosus, O. schoenesetosus, O. sunnianae, O. tiptoni, O. tuberculohirsutus, O. vanderhammeni, O. vergrandi, Sasacarus furmani panamensis, and Whartonia angulascuta. Odontacarus fieldi Brennan and Jones, 1961, and O. cayolargoensis Brennan, 1959, are synonymized under O. tubercularis Brennan, …
