Investigation of the diversity and taxonomy of feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) on passerines (Passeriformes) and kingfishers (Coraciiformes: Alcedinidae) in Manitoba revealed 19 species in 5 genera. Of them, eight new species are described, seven of these from passerines and one from a kingfisher: Alaudicola eremophila sp. n. from Eremophila alpestris (Alaudidae), Amerodectes icteri sp. n. from Icterus galbula (Icteridae), A. pheucticus sp. n. from Pheucticus ludovicianus (Cardinalidae), A. tiffanyluiae sp. n. from Oporornis agilis (Parulidae), A. tretiakae sp. n. from Molothrus ater (Icteridae), Tyrannidectes sealyi sp. n. from Tyrannus tyrannus (Linnaeus, 1758) (type host) and Tyrannus verticalis Say, and T. empidonicus sp. n. from Empidonax minimus (Tyrannidae), and Proterothrix megaceryle sp. n. from Megaceryle alcyon (Alcedinidae). Additionally, nine pterodectine species are reported for the first time in the fauna of Canada. Based on re-evaluation of diagnostic charcters, new diagnoses are proposed for the genera Amerodectes, Tyrannidectes, and Metapterodectes, and species contents of these genera are revised. Four species are transferred from the genus Amerodectes to Tyrannidectes with the new combinations proposed: T. caribaeus (Mironov and Gonzlez-Acua, 2011) comb. n., T. charitomenos (Hernandes, 2018) comb. n., T. pitangi (Mironov, 2008) comb. n., T. vireonis (Hernandes and Pedroso, 2016) comb. n. Six species are transferred from the genus Tyrannidectes to Metapterodectes with the new combinations: M. amaurochalinus (Hernandes and Valim, 2006) comb. n., M. cinclodes (Mironov and Gonzlez-Acua, 2011) comb. n., M. crassus (Trouessart, 1885) comb. n., M. falcklandicus (Mironov and Gonzlez-Acua, 2011) comb. n., M. fissuratus (Hernandes and Valim, 2005) comb. n., and M. pteroptochi (Mironov and Gonzlez-Acua, 2015) comb. n.
在马尼托巴省对雀形目 passerines 和佛法僧目 kingfishers(Alcedinidae)上的翼虱亚科 Pterodectinae(Astigmata:Proctophyllodidae)的多样性和分类学进行研究,揭示了 5 个属中的 19 种。其中,描述了 8 个新种,其中 7 种来自 passerines,1 种来自 kingfisher:来自 Eremophila alpestris(Alaudidae)的 Alaudicola eremophila sp. n.,来自 Icterus galbula(Icteridae)的 Amerodectes icteri sp. n.,来自 Pheucticus ludovicianus(Cardinalidae)的 A. pheucticus sp. n.,来自 Oporornis agilis(Parulidae)的 A. tiffanyluiae sp. n.,来自 Molothrus ater(Icteridae)的 A. tretiakae sp. n.,来自 Tyrannus tyrannus(Linnaeus,1758)(模式宿主)和 Tyrannus verticalis Say 的 Tyrannidectes sealyi sp. n.,以及来自 Empidonax minimus(Tyrannidae)的 Tyrannus empidonicus sp. n.,以及来自 Megaceryle alcyon(Alcedinidae)的 Proterothrix megaceryle sp. n.。此外,在加拿大动物区系中首次报道了 9 种翼虱。基于对诊断特征的重新评估,对 Amerodectes、Tyrannidectes 和 Metapterodectes 属提出了新的诊断,并修订了这些属的物种内容。有 4 种物种从 Amerodectes 属转移到 Tyrannidectes 属,并提出了新的组合:T. caribaeus(Mironov 和 Gonzlez-Acua,2011)comb. n.、T. charitomenos(Hernandes,2018)comb. n.、T. pitangi(Mironov,2008)comb. n.、T. vireonis(Hernandes 和 Pedroso,2016)comb. n.。有 6 种物种从 Tyrannidectes 属转移到 Metapterodectes 属,并提出了新的组合:M. amaurochalinus(Hernandes 和 Valim,2006)comb. n.、M. cinclodes(Mironov 和 Gonzlez-Acua,2011)comb. n.、M. crassus(Trouessart,1885)comb. n.、M. falcklandicus(Mironov 和 Gonzlez-Acua,2011)comb. n.、M. fissuratus(Hernandes 和 Valim,2005)comb. n.和 M. pteroptochi(Mironov 和 Gonzlez-Acua,2015)comb. n.。
