We studied the quill mite fauna of the family Syringophilidae, associated with bee-eaters. We examined 273 bird specimens belonging to nine closely related species of the genus , representing two phylogenetic sister clades of a monophyletic group. Our examination reveals the presence of two species of the genus , as follows: (1) a new species sp. n. from in the Philippines, in Nepal and Sri Lanka, and in Sri Lanka; and (2) from in Tanzania and Egypt, in Sudan, Tanzania, Liberia, Senegal, Kenya, and D.R. Congo, in Papua New Guinea, in Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka, and in the Philippines. The prevalence of host infestations by syringophilid mites varied from 3.1 to 38.2%. The distribution of syringophilid mites corresponds with the sister clade phylogenetic relationships of the hosts, except for associated with . Possible hypotheses for the host lineage shift are proposed.
我们研究了与蜂虎相关的管羽螨科羽螨动物区系。我们检查了属于该属九个近缘物种的273个鸟类标本，这些物种代表了一个单系类群的两个系统发育姊妹分支。我们的检查发现了该属的两个物种，如下：（1）一种新物种，来自菲律宾的 sp. n.，尼泊尔和斯里兰卡的 ，以及斯里兰卡的 ；（2）来自坦桑尼亚和埃及的 ，苏丹、坦桑尼亚、利比里亚、塞内加尔、肯尼亚和刚果民主共和国的 ，巴布亚新几内亚的 ，泰国、印度尼西亚和斯里兰卡的 ，以及菲律宾的 。管羽螨对宿主的侵染率在3.1%至38.2%之间。管羽螨的分布与宿主的姊妹分支系统发育关系相对应，但与 相关的 除外。我们提出了宿主谱系转移的可能假说。
