Two species of Cyrnea are reported from 706 wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) from 25 localities in 9 southeastern states. Cyrnea (Cyrnea) neeli sp. n. in birds from Alabama and Florida is differentiated primarily by distal processes of the left spicule and spicule lengths. Specimens from wild turkeys previously reported as C. eurycerca are identified as C. coloni. The configuration of caudal papillae of C. colini is redescribed. Neither species occurred in birds from montainous regions, and C. neeli sp. n. was restricted to Florida and southern Alabama. Poults less than 1-month old were not infected. Infections peaked in early fall and then declined rapidly.
在来自东南部9个州25个地点的706只野生火鸡（Meleagris gallopavo）中发现了两种 Cyrnea 属寄生虫。来自阿拉巴马州和佛罗里达州鸟类体内的 Cyrnea（Cyrnea）neeli 新种主要通过左交合刺远端突和交合刺长度来区分。之前被报道为 C. eurycerca 的野生火鸡标本被鉴定为 C. coloni。重新描述了 C. colini 的尾乳突形态。这两个物种均未出现在山区鸟类中，且 C. neeli 新种仅限于佛罗里达州和阿拉巴马州南部。不到1个月大的小火鸡未被感染。感染在初秋达到峰值，然后迅速下降。
