ABSTRACT
Here we report the ectoparasitic mite Spinturnix scuticornis Dusbábek, 1970 collected from the Himalayan whiskered bat, Myotis siligorensis Horsfield, 1855 (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), in the Quang Binh province, Vietnam. Previously this mite species have been recorded from Myotis longipes, Miniopterus fuliginosus in Afghanistan and Taiwan and presumably from Eptesicus serotinus in Azerbaijan. This is the southernmost record and new host record for S. scuticornis.
