G. szeptyckii is close to G. c o l i n u s and differs from this species as follows: in females of G. szeptyckii the propodonotal and pygidial shields are apunctate; each medial branch of the peritremes has 3 chambers; setae c1 and se are situated in the same transverse level; setae f2 are twice as long as f1; setae h2 are 5.7 times longer than f1; length ratio of setae ag1:ag2:ag3 is 1.2:1:1.8; setae 3c are twice as long as 3b; fan-like setae p’ and p” of tarsi III and IV are with 9 tines.

Galliform-associated mites belong to two species, C. polonica (Skoracki et al., 2002), C. alectoris (Fain et al., 2000), and one new species described below.</p><p>Although, this genus was established based on material collected from nest of Columba livia Gmelin in Afganistan (Kivganov &amp; Sharafat 1995), in our opinion, this bird is not true host for this mite species. Really the picobiin connected with doves is Neopicobia zumpti (Lawrence, 1959) recorded from African, American, European doves (Lawrence 1959; Bochkov et al. 2005; pers. obs.). C. khushalkhani is morphologically very similar to C. polonica, (a poor description and access to the type material of C. khushalkhani being unavailable, does not allow us to compare these two species). We suggest accidental transfer of these quill mites from domestic hen to nearby nesting doves. Thus, the name Columbiphilus does not show the real association of these quill mites with their hosts.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D987CDFFFEFFD7FF61FC4BFAAEFA3E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
