Pterygosoma livingstonei sp. n. collected from the Kenyan lizard Agama caudospinosa Meek shows morphological affinities with other South African congener species parasitizing lizards of the genus Agama, especially with P. triangulare Lawrence, 1936. This new species was found concentrated in a nuchal "mite pocket-like structure", a behaviour previously unreported among species belonging to the genus Pterygosoma

Pterygosoma livingstonei sp. n. sbíraná z keňského ještěra Agama caudospinosa Meek vykazuje morfologickou afinitu k ostatním jihoafrickým zástupcům rodu, parazitujícím u rodu Agama, zejména k P. triangulare Lawrence, 1936. Tento nový druh byl nalezen koncentrovaný v nuchálních "mite pocket-like" strukturách, což je chování předtím u rodu Pterygosoma neznámé
