Scutulanyssus delichonum (Mironov)

Ex Hirundo rustica (barn swallow): NC, Haywood Co., Purchase Knob, 16 Jul 2005, P. Super; NC, Haywood Co., Purchase Knob, 23 Jun. 2006, P. Super.

This species was described originally from the Old World house martin, Delichon urbica and represents a new host and geographic record. Several species of Scutulanyssus are known to occur on barn swallows, but only S. obscurus (Berlese) and S. hirundicolus (Mironov) were previously reported from North America (Mironov and Galloway 2006)
