Abstract

Basilia andersoni n. sp. and B. plaumanni Scott represent the first species of Nycteribiidae to be reported from Uruguay. B. andersoni was found on Myotis nigricans (Schinz), and is closely related to B. guimaraesi Sch. Stekh. and B. currani Guim. It is characterized mainly by the shape of the thoracic sternal plate and legs of both sexes, tergal plates I and II and sternite VI of the female, and the aedeagus of the male, as well as by the chaetotaxy of the legs, tergites and sternites of both sexes, and of the anal segment, genital and anal plates of the female.
