Abstract: Three new species, belonging to the newly proposed genus Pseudopicobia gen. n., inhabiting body quill feathers of puff-birds (Piciformes: Bucconidae), are described: P nonnula sp. n. from Nonnula frontalis (Sclater) in Colombia, P malacoptila sp. n. from Malacoptila panamensis Lafresnaye in Colombia and P hapaloptila sp. n. from Hapaloptila castanea (Verreaux) in Ecuador. The new genus differs from morphologically similar genus Picobia Heller, 1878 by the absence of the genital setae, absence of the genital lobes, solenidia phiI represented by microsetae, and by the presence of setiform solenidia sigma I. Syringophilid mites are recorded from birds of this family for the first time.
描述了隶属于新提出的伪皮螨属(Pseudopicobia gen. n.)的3个新物种,它们栖息于喷鴷(佛法僧目:喷鴷科)的体羽上:采自哥伦比亚额斑喷鴷(Nonnula frontalis (Sclater))的额斑伪皮螨(P nonnula sp. n.)、采自哥伦比亚巴拿马喷鴷(Malacoptila panamensis Lafresnaye)的巴拿马伪皮螨(P malacoptila sp. n.)以及采自厄瓜多尔栗色喷鴷(Hapaloptila castanea (Verreaux))的栗色伪皮螨(P hapaloptila sp. n.)。该新属与形态相似 的1878年赫勒所定的皮螨属(Picobia Heller)不同之处在于:无生殖刚毛、无生殖叶、感棒phiI由微刚毛代表,以及存在棒状感棒sigma I。首次记录到来自该科鸟类的羽管螨。
