  • Galliphilopsis colinus sp. nov. (Figs. 11–20) Description. FEMALE. Total body length including gnathosoma 455 in holotype (445-470 in 3 paratypes). Gnathosoma: Hypostomal apex rounded and without protuberances. Each medial branch of peritremes with 1–2 chambers, each lateral branch with 4 chambers. Stylophore rounded posteriorly, apunctate, 155 (150–165) long. Infracapitulum apunctate. Idiosoma: Propodonotal shield punctate, weakly sclerotized with concave anterior margin, bearing bases of setae ve, si, se and c 1. Setae c 1 situated slightly posterior to level of setae se, both setae subequal in length. Hysteronotal shield present, weakly sclerotized, triangular in shape, bearing bases of setae d 1. Bases of setae d 1 slightly closer (1.3 times) to d 2 than to e 2. Setae d 2 about 10 times longer than d 1. Pygidial shield well sclerotized, sparsely punctate. Setae f 2 slightly (1.3 times) longer than f 1. Setae h 2 7.5 times longer than f 1. Length ratio of ag 1:ag 2:ag 3 2: 1: 2.5. Genital plate bearing only genital setae. Genital and pseudanal setae subequal in length. Coxal fields I–II well sclerotized, III–IV weakly sclerotized, all punctate. Setae 3 c 1.4–1.6 times longer than 3 b. Legs. Fan-like setae p’ and p” with 7 tines. Setae tc”III–IV twice as long as tc’III–IV. Lengths of setae: ve 15 (10–15), si 15 (10–15), se 185 (195–230), c 1 230 (220–225), c 2 170 (180–200), d 1 15 (10–15), d 2 155 (150– 170), e 2 25 (20–25), f 1 (25–30), f 2 40 (40), h 1 25 (25), h 2 305 (300–320), ag 1 (50), ag 2 (35), ag 3 80, g 1 and g 2 20 (20–25), ps 1 and ps 2 20 (20–25), tc’III– IV 25 (20–25), tc” III–IV 40 (40), 3 b 25 (25), 3 c 40 (35–40). MALE. Total body length including gnathosoma 350 in one paratype. Gnathosoma. Hypostomal apex rounded and without protuberances. Each medial branch of the peritremes with 2–3 chambers, each lateral branch with 3–4 chambers. Stylophore rounded posteriorly, apunctate, 110 long. Infracapitulum apunctate. Idiosoma. Propodonotal shield punctate, weakly sclerotized, slightly cleft on anterior margin, bearing bases of setae ve, si, and c 1. Setae c 1 situated distinctly posterior to level of setae se. Hysteronotal shield present, weakly sclerotized, situated between bases of setae d 1 and e 2. Setae d 2 twice as long as d 1 and e 2. Pygidial shield absent. Setae h 2 1.7 times longer than f 2. Two pairs of aggenital setae present (ag 3 absent), both pairs subequal in length. Legs. Fan-like setae p’ and p” of tarsi III and IV with 5 tines. Lengths of setae: ve 15, si 15, se 40, c 1 50, c 1 50, d 1 10, d 2 20, e 2 10, f 2 15, h 2 25, ag 1 20, ag 2 20. Type material. From quills of body feathers of Colinus cristatus (Linnaeus) (Odontophoridae): Female holotype and paratypes: 4 females, 1 male, 4 nymphs and 1 larva (AMU-SYR. 320); SURINAM, Zanderij, 16 August 1964, coll. F. Haverschmidt. Mites collected by M. Skoracki. Type material deposition. All material is deposited in the AMU except 1 female paratype in the ZSM and 1 female paratype in the ZISP. Additional material. From quills of body feathers of Colinus leucopogon (Lesson) (Odontophoridae): 3 females (AMU-SYR. 331); COLOMBIA, Bogota, no other data. Host specimen is deposited in the ZSM. Mites collected by M. Skoracki. All material is deposited in the AMU except 1 female in the ZSM. Etymology. The name of this species refers to the generic name of the host – Colinus. Differential diagnosis. G. colinus sp. nov. is morphologically similar to G. bochkovi Skoracki and Sikora, 2004. In these species, females have setae d 2 distinctly longer than setae d 1 and e 2. G. colinus differs from G. b o c h - kovi by the following characters: in females of G. c o l i n u s, setae d 2 are about 10 times longer than setae d 1; setae ag 3 are 2.3 times longer than ag 2; lengths of setae ve, si and d 1 are 10–15. In females of G. bochkovi, setae d 2 are about 4–5 times longer than setae d 1; setae ag 3 are 1.6 times longer than ag 2; lengths of setae ve, si and d 1 are 35– 40.
