Genus Peristerophila Kethley, 1970 View in CoL

Genus Peristerophila is represented by three named species: P. columba (Hirst) , P. zenadoura (Clark) and P. tympanistria Skoracki et Dabert , which are mainly associated with columbiform birds ( Columbiformes ) from genera: Columba, Zenaida and Tympanistria. P. columba has been additionally recorded from Buteo jamaicensis ( Falconiformes : Accipitridae ) from Texas ( USA) ( Casto 1976). It was the first and last record of syringophilid mites on bird of prey. In the next section, we describe a new species found inside body quills of Terathopius ecaudatus (Accipitridae) . This host species represents a new avian family for the genus Peristerophila .
