Abstract
Sixty-four individuals of a macronyssid mite, Parasteatonyssus nyctinomi (Zumpt, Patterson 1951), were identified from Egyptian free-tailed bats Tadarida aegyptiaca (É. Geoffroy 1818) (Chiroptera: Molossidae) captured in the Kunene region of Namibia (southern Africa). This is the first report on P. nyctinomi in the country. Keywords: Parasteatonyssus nyctinomi; Macronyssidae; Tadarida aegyptiaca. Namibia; Egyptian free-tailed bat
