Abstract
Mites collected from the auditory canal of Cebus apella (capuchin monkey), family Cebidae, were identified
as Fonsecalges johnjadini (Psoroptidae, Cebalginae). It is the first record of this parasite from this monkey. This paper emphasizes the importance of clinical and anatomopathological examinations for parasitic
diagnosis in wild animals.
