Resumen:
Larvae, nymphs and adults of the cave dwelling tick Ornithodoros dyeri,
collected in 3 Mexican states, were studied using morphological and
molecular methods. The adults and nymphs were characterized by an
elongated body in proportion to the width and a dorsum bounded by two
contiguous ridges and one third ridge (inner) that was incomplete on
each side. The larvae of this species have 14 pairs of dorsal setae, a
venter body with nine pairs of setae plus a posteromedian; a moderately
large, dorsal plate and piriform, a hypostome arising from a relatively
short, subtriangular median extension of the basis capituli, and a
capsule of Halleris organ with reticulations. Based on a maximum
likelihood analysis of the sequences of a fragment of approximately 414
by of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, we showed that O. dyeri
represents an independent lineage within neotropical species of the
Argasidae. The bat species Mimon cozumelae and Peropteryx macrotis
represents a new host record for this argasid. (C) 2016 Elsevier GmbH.
