Description

A new species of the Listrophorid mites, Alabidocarpus fujii n. sp., was found from the Japanese long-winged bat, Miniopterus schreibersii niponiae, collected at Miyazaki, Shizuoka and Chiba, Japan. This species is most closely related to A. calcaratus Lawrence, 1952, but the two species deffer in the shape of propodosomal shield and of tarsi of first and second legs. According to the key to the species of Alabidocarpus by Pinichpongse, this new species falls into A. longipilus Pinichpongse, but A. fujii is much larger and has minute setae on mid-dorsum at the level of leg IV. Holotype : Female is deposited in The National Science Museum (Zoology), Tokyo, Japan; (NSM-AC-P 280).
