Here, we redescribe B. punctata based on a lectotype and paralectotype designated herein and describe a new species, Boshkerria erwini n. sp., from the green acouchi Myoprocta pratti in Peru. Also, we provide a key to the three species in this genus. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:8FE7E5ED-262A-4843-9BCF-D1A4E44D9B7C.engChiggersectoparasitesmitesPerurodentsSouth AmericaA new species of Boshkerria and redescription of B. punctata (Boshell and Kerr) (Trombidiformes: Trombiculidae)Artigo10.1080/01647954.2021.19039952-s2.0-85104428648
