A new species, Peristerophila falcophila Skoracki and Hromada sp. nov. is described from three avian hosts of the genus Falco: F. peregrinus Tunstall, 1771 from Kenya, Germany and Nepal, F. cherrug Gray, 1834 from Romania, and F. sparverius Linnaeus, 1758 from Colombia. This new species differs from closely related Peristerophila accipitridicus Skoracki et al. 2010 as follow: the propodonotal shield is reduced in the posterior part, but not divided into three separate shield (vs. divided into three punctate and saber-like sclerites in P. accipitridicus); the length ratio of setae ve:si is 1:1.6-1.8 (vs. 1:2-2.8); fan-like setae p' and p" of legs III and IV are with 10 tines (vs. 19-20); and the length of setae e2 is 145-155 (vs. 185-215). Additionally, the key to all species of the genus Peristerophila is constructed and the host-parasite relationships are briefly discussed.
描述了一个新物种，即猎隼嗜虱（Peristerophila falcophila Skoracki and Hromada sp. nov.），其宿主为三种隼属鸟类：1771年发现于肯尼亚、德国和尼泊尔的矛隼（Falco peregrinus Tunstall），1834年发现于罗马尼亚的黄爪隼（Falco cherrug Gray），以及1758年发现于哥伦比亚的美洲隼（Falco sparverius Linnaeus）。这个新物种与2010年Skoracki等人描述的近缘物种——鹰嗜虱（Peristerophila accipitridicus Skoracki et al.）的区别如下：前胸背板盾片后部缩小，但未分成三个独立的盾片（而在鹰嗜虱中分成三个点状且似剑状的骨片）；刚毛ve:si的长度比为1:1.6 - 1.8（而在鹰嗜虱中为1:2 - 2.8）；第三和第四对足的扇形刚毛p'和p"有10个齿（而在鹰嗜虱中有19 - 20个）；刚毛e2的长度为145 - 155（而在鹰嗜虱中为185 - 215）。此外，构建了猎隼嗜虱属所有物种的检索表，并简要讨论了宿主 - 寄生虫关系。
