Abstract
Spinturnicid mites of the genus Periglischrus Kolenati are permanent hematophagous ectoparasites, associated with phyllostomid bats in the Americas. The entire life cycle of these mites occurs on their hosts. The mites can be transmitted across host individuals via mother to offspring vertical transmission, during copulation or inter-individual contact at bat roosting sites where they form gregarious colonies.
