Abstract
Abstract Demodex mystacina sp. nov. is described from the Meibomian glands of New Zealand’s lesser short-tailed bat, Mystacina tuberculata. A second species, D. novazelandica, from the same host is described from the follicles of the body hairs. Observations are presented as to the infestation loci of these mites in the pilosebaceous complex. Neither parasite was associated with any obvious pathology. The Meibomian glands of the host are briefly described.
