“…Genus Pipicobia Glowska and Schmidt, 2014 This genus comprises small-sized picobiines (total body length 430-690), distinguished from other genera by the following combination of features: the hypostomal apex is tapering; the opisthosomal and genital lobes are absent; each pseudanal and genital setal series is represented by one pair; apodemes I are with small thorn-like protuberances; solenidia phi (ϕ) on tibiae I are absent.…”

The family Syringophilidae (Acari: Prostigmata) includes obligatory ectoparasites, which occupy feather quills from various parts of avian plumage, where they feed and reproduce. Our study was concerned with the global fauna of syringophilid mites associated with Psittaciformes, as well as host-parasite specificity and evolution. We assumed that the system composed of quill mites and parrots represents a model group that can be used in a broader study of the relationships between parasites and hosts. In total, we examined 1524 host individuals of parrots belonging to 195 species, 73 genera, and 4 families (which constitute ca. 50% of global parrot fauna) from all zoogeographical regions where Psittaciformes occur. Among them, 89 individuals representing 81 species have been infested by quill mites belonging to 45 species and 8 genera. The prevalence of host infestations by syringophilid mites varied from 2.8% to 100% (95% confidence interval (CI Sterne method) = 0.1–100). We applied a bipartite analysis to determine the parasite-host interaction, network indices, and host specificity at the species and whole network levels. The Syringophilidae-Psittaciformes network was composed of 24 mite species and 47 host species. The bipartite network was characterized by a high network level specialization H2′ = 0.98, connectance C = 0.89, and high modularity Q = 0.90, with 23 modules, but low nestedness N = 0.0333. Moreover, we reconstructed the phylogeny of the quill mites on the generic level, and this analysis shows two distinct clades: Psittaciphilus (Peristerophila + Terratosyringophilus) (among Syringophilinae subfamily) and Lawrencipicobia (Pipicobia + Rafapicobia) (among Picobiinae). Finally, the distributions and host-parasite relationships in the system composed of syringophilid mites and parrots are discussed.

“…The family Syringophilidae Lavoipierre (Acariformes: Prostigmata: Cheyletoidea) includes permanent and highly specialized mono-or stenoxenous ectoparasites, infesting feather quills (Kethley 1970;Skoracki 2011). This taxonomically specious family with about 320 species grouped in 60 genera is distributed on a broad spectrum of hosts belonging to 23 orders, both from neoganthous and paleognathous birds (Skoracki 2011;Skoracki et al 2012;Glowska & Schmidt 2014).…”

Two new species of quill mites (Acariformes: Syringophilidae) associated with doves of the subfamily Treroninae (Columbiformes: Columbidae) from the Oceanian realm are described: Gunabopicobia masalaje sp. nov. from six avian host species, Ptilinopus iozonus Gray (type host) Ducula pistrinaria (Bonaparte), D. rosacea (Temminck), D. rufigaster (Quoy and Gaimard), D. spilorrhoa (Gray), D. luctuosa (Temminck), and Peristerophila lature sp. nov. also from six host species Ducula luctuosa (type host ), D. spilorrhoa, Ptilinopus jambu Gmelin, P. melanospilus Salvadori, P. porphyreus Temminck, P. regina Swainson. Additionally, Treron waalia (Meyer) is noted as a new host species for Meitingsunes columbicus Glowska and Skoracki, 2010.

“…They are represented by 60 genera with 318 species reported from bird hosts belonging to 93 families and 23 orders. The family is divided into two subfamilies: Syringophilinae Lavoipierre with 257 species grouped in 50 genera and Picobiinae Johnston and Kethley with 61 species belonging to 10 genera (Glowska 2014, Glowska andSchmidt 2014). Among picobiins, five species of two genera have been previously reported from picid birds (Piciformes: Picidae).…”

A new quill mite species Neopicobia hepburni sp. nov. is described from the Ecuadorian Piculet Picumnus sclateri Taczanowski (type host) and the Olivaceous Piculet Picumnus olivaceus Lafresnaye (Piciformes: Picidae) from Peru. Females of N. hepburni are distinguishable from most similar species N. ea Skoracki et Unsoeld by the propodonotal shield divided into 3 sclerites, the pygidial shield with a vertical furrow and wing-like appendages, the presence of the genital lobes, setae f2 2.7 times longer than f1 and length ratio of ag1:ag2:ag3 equals 2:1:2. In females of N. ea, the propodonotal shield is entire, the pygidial shield is oval, without vertical furrow and appendages, the genital lobes are absent, setae f2 are 4.5-5.5 times longer than f1 and length ratios of ag1:ag2:ag3 are 2.2-2.7:1:3-3.2.
