Checklist of the Quill mites (Acariformes: Syringophilidae) of the World

Abstract: Mites of the family Syringophilidae (Acariformes: Cheyletoidea) are ectoparasites inhabiting the quills of various feather types in many groups of birds. Until now, 334 valid species and 60 genera of quill mites have been described and recorded from 482 bird species (95 families and 24 orders). Currently, the family is divided into 2 subfamilies: Syringophilinae Lavoipierre, 1953 with 260 species grouped in 49 genera, and Picobinae Johnston and Kethley, 1973 with 74 species grouped in 11 genera. Mites of the s… Show more

“…Quill mites of the family Syringophilidae Lavoipierre (Acariformes: Prostigmata: Cheyletoidea) are permanent, obligatory, and host-specific (mono-or stenoxenous) parasites associated with birds belonging to 24 orders (Skoracki et al 2012;Glowska et al 2015). They are found inside the quills of different types of feathers: primaries, secondaries, tertials, coverts, rectrices, and contour feathers (Kethley 1970;Skoracki 2011).…”

“…Mites of the family Syringophilidae (Acariformes: Cheyletoidea) are a highly diverse group of obligatory bird ectoparasites inhabiting the quills of a wide spectrum of hosts (Kethley 1970 ; Skoracki 2011 ). Currently, this family is represented by 334 species grouped into 60 genera which were recorded from 482 bird species (belonging to 95 families and 24 orders) (Glowska et al, 2015 ). The genus Aulonastus Kethley, 1970 , so far has included 14 species parasitising 17 passeriform species belonging to ten families, Emberizidae (4 species), Motacillidae (3 spp.…”
