Rhizoglyphus sp.*

Ex Felis silvestris (domestic/feral cat): 1DN, NC, Swain Co., 16 Aug. 2002, W. K. Reeves, L­3007. A deutonymph of an unidentified Rhizoglyphus sp. was found attached to the hair of a feral cat in the

Park. Rhizoglyphus sp. are not typically considered ectoparasites and this association could be accidental.

Fain & Beaucournu (1972) reported Rhizoglyphus as phoretic parasites of fleas from moles in Europe.
