Species characters in Mediorhynchus are discussed, and a consistent method of describing hook arrangement, longitudinal rows, is proposed. Mediorhynchus papillosus Van Cleave 1916, and M. orientalis Belopol'skaya 1953 are redescribed, and M. edmondsi sp. n. is described from Palawan. The new species is most similar to M. rodensis Cosin 1971 in armature, but differs from it in proboscis shape and overall size. Among other new records are M. gallinarum (Bhalerao, 1937) in chickens in Palawan, and M. turnixena (Tubangui, 1933) from a button quail in Palawan. Several synonymies are pointed out and several unidentifiable species are mentioned. A key to 29 species recognized as valid is provided.
讨论了中吻属的物种特征，并提出了一种描述钩排列的一致方法——纵向排。重新描述了1916年范·克莱夫的乳头中吻虫和1953年别洛波尔斯卡娅的东方中吻虫，并从巴拉望岛描述了新物种埃德蒙兹中吻虫。新物种在形态上与1971年科辛的罗德中吻虫最相似，但在吻部形状和整体大小上与之不同。其他新记录包括巴拉望岛鸡体内的鸡中吻虫（巴莱拉奥，1937年），以及巴拉望岛纽扣鹌鹑体内的弯嘴中吻虫（图班吉，1933年）。指出了几个同物异名，并提及了几个无法鉴定的物种。提供了一份认可的29个有效物种的检索表。
