“…The most comprehensive study was recently presented by Almeida et al [16] and comprised the analysis of tinamous phylogenetic relationships and divergence dates, including both living and extinct species. Prostigmatan fauna (Acariformes: Trombidiformes: Prostigmata) that is permanently associated with tinamous is represented only by members of the family Syringophilidae, whereas representatives of the other prostigmatan families, including Harpirhynchidae, Cheyletidae (Ornithocheyletini, Metacheyletiini, and Cheletosomatini), and Ereynetidae (Speleognathinae), have never been collected from any of the palaeognathous birds [17][18][19][20][21]. Currently, the family Syringophilidae associated with Tinamidae is represented by two species of the genus Tinamiphilopsis, which are recorded on four species of the subfamily Nothurinae, i.e., Tinamiphilopsis elegans Skoracki and Sikora, 2004, collected from the elegant crested tinamou Eudromia elegans Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, and Tinamiphilopsis ariconte , recorded from the red-winged tinamou Rhynchotus rufescens (Temminck), the white-bellied nothura Nothura boraquira (Spix), and the lesser nothura Nothura minor (Spix) [22,23].…”

The quill mite fauna of the Syringophilidae family (Acariformes: Prostigmata), which is associated with palaeognathous birds of the Tinamiformes order, remains poorly studied. Thus far, only two species of syringophilid mites have been documented on four species of tinamous. In this study, we present a description of a new species, Tinamiphilopsis temmincki sp. n., which was found on the Tataupa Tinamou (Crypturellus tataupa) in South America. This newly identified species differs from others in the genus due to the short hysteronotal setae d2 in females, unlike the long setae d2 found in females of other Tinamiphilopsis species. In addition to describing the new species, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis of the primitive syringophilid genera. The results reveal that the Tinamiphilopsis genus does not emerge as a sister group to all other syringophilids. Instead, it is deeply embedded within the radiation of quill mites associated with neognathous birds. This study provided evidence that mites belonging to the genus Tinamiphilopsis initially parasitised Neoavian birds before host switching to tinamous birds. This placement carries significant implications for our understanding of the evolution of quill mites and their relationship with their avian hosts.

“…Harpypalpinae are living on Passeriform birds, Harpirhynchinae -also on Passeriformes, but also on birds of other orders -Anseriformes, Apodiformes, Charadriiformes, Ciconiiformes, Coliiformes, Columbiformes, Galliformes, Pelecaniformes. Harpirhynchids were shown to be highly host specific, with 69.5% being monoxenous species and 23% species are associated with several closely related hosts (Bochkov, Klimov & Skoracki, 2017).…”

Contains both predators and permanent parasites of vertebrates. Some are nest or house-dust inhabitants, others live on plants or in insect colonies (phoretic), or are found (Hoffmannita) on Crustacea (Decapoda) and Arachnida (Scorpiones). There are Cheyletids (Cheyletiella parasitivorax, Ch. yasguri) living on domestic animals (rabbits, cats, dogs) and recorded as vectors of mange on Man. According to , 280 species of 54 genera (77.8%) are predators, 80 sp. of 19 gen. (23.2%) are parasites of birds and mammals.The first Cheyletid was described by Schrank (1781, the well known "Acarus" eruditus, type of the genus Cheyletus Latreille, 1796). The family Cheyletidae was described by Leach (1815). Among the many publications until 1969 should be mentionned the revision (and many other papers) of , the paper of Baker (1949) on North American Cheyletidae and the analysis of . Other acarologists having contributed to the taxonomy of Cheyletidae before 1969 are Heller,
