A total of 81 Tyraniidae birds were examined, 80 Pitangus sulphuratus (Linnaeus, 1766) (Great kiscadee), and one Machetornis rixosa (Vieilot, 1819) (Cattle tyrant), for collection of nasal mites, which were identified as Ptilonyssus spinosus (Brooks & Strandtmann, 1960) and Sternostoma longisetosae (Hyland, 1961) (Rhinonyssidae). This finding characterises the first report of P. spinosus and S. longisetosae in P. sulphuratus, and the first record of P. spinosus in M. rixosa, and expands the geographic distribution of these species. It is the first occurrence of S. longisetosae in the Neotropics, and the first citation of P. spinosus in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
总共检查了81只霸鹟科鸟类，其中80只是黄腹绿霸鹟（Pitangus sulphuratus，林奈，1766年）（大绿霸鹟），1只是牛背霸鹟（Machetornis rixosa，维约洛，1819年），目的是采集鼻螨，这些鼻螨被鉴定为棘刺羽螨（Ptilonyssus spinosus，布鲁克斯和斯特兰特曼，1960年）和长鬃鼻刺螨（Sternostoma longisetosae，海兰，1961年）（鼻刺螨科）。这一发现是棘刺羽螨和长鬃鼻刺螨在黄腹绿霸鹟中的首次报道，也是棘刺羽螨在牛背霸鹟中的首次记录，并扩大了这些物种的地理分布范围。这是长鬃鼻刺螨在新热带区的首次出现，也是棘刺羽螨在巴西南里奥格兰德州的首次记载。
