| dna-barcoding contradicts morphology in quill mite species torotrogla merulae and t. rubeculi (prostigmata: syringophilidae). | torotrogla merulae skoracki, dabert et ehrnsberger, 2000 and t. rubeculi skoracki, 2004 have been considered as distinct steno- and monoxenous quill mite species (acari: prostigmata: syringophilidae) parasitizing the thrushes of the genus turdus linnaeus and the european robin erithacus rubecula (linnaeus), respectively. morphological and molecular studies on the taxonomical status of these two species provided contradictory results. well defined differences in morphology were not supported by s ... | 2013 | 23539952 |
| a systematic review of the subfamily syringophilinae (acari: syringophilidae) of the nearctic region. part 1: quill mites associated with passerines (aves: passeriformes). | quill mites belonging to the subfamily syringophilinae lavoipierre, 1953 associated with the nearctic passeriform birds are revised. all of the 49 known species, which are grouped in seven genera, are recorded. among them, four new species are described: syringophiloidus audubioni sp. nov. from spizella breweri (cassini) (emberizidae), syringophilopsis catesbyi sp. nov. from vireo olivaceus (linnaeus) (vireonidae), s. wilsoni sp. nov. from pheucticus melanocephalus (swainson) (cardinalidae), and ... | 2016 | 27394276 |
