Syringophiloidus seiuri Bochkov and Galloway 2001: 2025 , fig. 9.

This species was described from Seiurus aurocapilla (Linnaeus) ( Passeriformes : Parulidae ) from USA. The same host was infected in USA and Canada (Manitoba) ( Clark 1964; Kethley 1970; Bochkov & Galloway 2001). S. seiuri was recorded on several following hosts: Helmitheros vermivorum (Gmelin) ( Parulidae ) in USA, Melospiza melodia (Wilson) ( Emberizidae ) in USA, M. lincolnii (Audubon) ( Emberizidae ) in USA, Quelea erythrops (Hartlaub) ( Ploceidae ) in Togo, Ploceus baglafecht (Daudin) ( Ploceidae ) in Congo, P. superciliosus (Shelley) in Togo and Oreothlypis ruficapilla (Wilson) ( Parulidae ) in California ( Bochkov et al. 2011; Clark 1964; Skoracki & Dabert 2002). Below we give a new host record from family Ploceidae .

Material examined. 13 females and 2 males from Ploceus xanthops Hartlaub ( Passeriformes : Ploceidae ) (new host), KENYA: Yimbo (Nyanza), 17 May 1969, coll. unknown, (Reg. No. 22435). 7 females and 1 male are deposited in the AMU (Reg. No. AMU –SYR. 471), 6 females and 1 male in the LMEE (Reg. No. LMEE /S/ 10).
