Abstract

The occurence of Megninia ginglymura (Megnin, 1877) on Gallus gallus in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is reported. The identification of the mite was based on the examination of 160 specimens fixed in alcohol 70%, clarified in glacial acetic acid, cleared in creosote, and mounted between slides in Entelann. The morphological characteristics like 1st epimera not fused and adanal bristles inflated and bigger than the others let us classify it as Megninia ginglymura (Megnin, 1877).
