摘要

Three new species of syringophilid mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) associated with parrots are described: Neoaulobia krafti sp. n. from Cacatua tenuirostris (Kuhl, 1820) (Cacatuidae) from Australia, Megasyringophilus eos sp. n. from Eos bornea (L., 1758) (Psittacidae) from Indonesia and Megasyringophilus geoffroyus sp, n. from Geoffroyus geoffroyi (Bechstein, 1811) (Psittacidae) from New Guinea. Loriculus pusillus Gray, 1859 and L. philippensis (Psittacidae) recorded for the first time as hosts of Neoaulobia puylaerti (Skoracki etDabert, 1999), Trichoglossus euteles (Temminck, 1835) and T. chlorolepidotus (Kuhl, 1820) (Psittacidae) are new hosts for Megasyringophilus trichoglossus Bochkov et Perez, 2002. All known syringophilid records from parrots are summarized in table.
