Abstract:
Hershkovitzia Guimarães & D'Andretta, 1956 belongs to Nycteribiidae, composed of hematophagous species exclusively ectoparasites of bats. The new species was collected from the bat Thyroptera devivoi Gregorin, Gonçalves, Lim & Engstrom, 2006 (Chiroptera: Thyropteridae) from Barreirinhas in Maranhão State, Brazil. Herein, we proposed schematic drawings of the abdomen, legs and head. We also proposed an identification key to species of Hershkovitzia.
