Abstract
In the present paper, we continue our studies on quill mites of the family Syringophilidae parasitising birds of the family Sturnidae. Herein, we describe a new species, Picobia wisniewskii sp. nov., collected from the red-winged starling Onychognathus morio (Linnaeus) in Tanzania. Additionally, we provide an emended diagnosis and new host records for Picobia lamprotornis Klimovicova et al., 2014 and Picobia sturni Skoracki et al. 2004.
