A survey of the nasal mites from Guatemalan cloud forest birds is reported. Seventy-eight birds, representing 10 families and 18 species, were examined. Prevalance of infection was 24%. Two new species are described: Sternostoma darlingi from Mitrephanes phaeocercus (Tyrannidae) and S. pencei from Empidonax flavescens (Tyrannidae). New host records are reported for S. pirangae from Chlorospingus ophthalmicus (Thraupidae), S. hutsoni from Catharus dryas (Turdidae), Ptilonyssus sairae from Chlorospingus opthalmicus (Thraupidae) and Myioborus miniatus (Parulidae), P. euroturdi from Catharus dryas (Turdidae), P. tyrannus from Empidonax flavescens and Mitrephanes phaeocercus (both Tyrannidae), and Tinaminyssus ixoreus from Catharus dryas (Turdidae). The subspecies Ptilonyssus euroturdi mimicola Fain and Hyland is synonymized with the nominate subspecies. Data are presented to suggest that the Rhinonyssidae may be a polyphyletic assemblage.
本文报道了对危地马拉云雾森林鸟类鼻腔螨类的一项调查。共检查了代表10个科18个物种的78只鸟类。感染率为24%。描述了两个新物种：来自黑尾蚋莺（霸鹟科）的达林氏鼻刺螨和来自黄腹纹霸鹟（霸鹟科）的彭氏鼻刺螨。报告了皮氏鼻刺螨在眼纹绿雀（裸鼻雀科）、哈氏鼻刺螨在灰胸夜鸫（鸫科）、萨氏羽管螨在眼纹绿雀（裸鼻雀科）和纯色姬森莺（森莺科）、欧氏羽管螨在灰胸夜鸫（鸫科）、暴君羽管螨在黄腹纹霸鹟和黑尾蚋莺（均为霸鹟科）以及食虫夜鸫羽管螨在灰胸夜鸫（鸫科）的新宿主记录。欧氏羽管螨模仿亚种法因和海兰被认定为与指名亚种同义。提供的数据表明鼻刺螨科可能是一个多系类群。
