03D087EB2F25A254FF73FDA26F41FAED.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Proctophyllodes (Pterodectes) gracilis Trouessart, 1885, by original designation. Among the Pterodectes generic complex, which currently includes seven genera (Pterodectes Robin, 1877, Amerodectes Valim & Hernandes, 2010, Berladectes Valim & Hernandes, 2008, Cotingodectes Valim & Hernandes, 2008, Metapterodectes Mironov, 2008, Tyrannidectes Mironov, 2008, and Hemitriccodectes Hernandes, 2013), Amerodectes is the most species-rich genus, currently comprising 28 species including the two species described below (Trouessart 1885; Stoll 1893; Berla 1958, 1973; Černý 1974; OConnor et al. 2005; Mironov et al. 2008; Valim & Hernandes 2010; Mironov & Gonzalez-Acuña 2011, 2014; Mironov & OConnor 2014; Mironov & Overstreet 2015). Nevertheless, the genus is certainly much more diverse than currently known. Park & Atyeo (1971 a) erected the subfamily Pterodectinae and redefined the genus Pterodectes based on 9 described and about 90 undescribed species. Mironov (in Mironov et al. 2008) erected two closely related genera, Tyrannidectes Mironov, 2008 and Metapterodectes Mironov, 2008, distinguished from Pterodectes based on the absence of trochanteral seta sR III and genual solenidion σ on legs III. Valim & Hernandes (2010) revised the genus Pterodectes and erected a new genus, Amerodectes Valim & Hernandes, 2010 to accommodate species with the following features: setae sR III and solenidion σ III are present, epimerites I are fused but never form a long sternum, setae c 2 are situated off the hysteronotal shield, and in female setae h 2 are dagger-like (with or without terminal filament). Undetermined species of Amerodectes and related pterodectines are often reported in the faunistic literature on bird-associated mites of the Neotropical region (Roda & Farias 1999; Lyra-Neves et al. 2003; Reeves et al. 2007; Kanegae et al. 2008; Valim et al. 2011; Barreto et al. 2012; Enout et al. 2012; Galloway et al. 2014; Daud et al. 2015; Silva et al. 2015). Hosts of Amerodectes are New World passerines of 11 families: Emberizidae, Cardinalidae, Thraupidae, Parulidae, Furnariidae, Icteridae, Tyrannidae, Turdidae, Troglodytidae, and Mimidae. Silva et al. (2015) also reported undetermined Amerodectes species from Vireonidae.	en	Hernandes, Fabio Akashi, Pedroso, Luiz Gustavo A., Oniki-Willis, Yoshika (2016): Five new feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Acariformes: Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) from passerines and hummingbirds (Aves) of Brazil.

03D087EB2F25A250FF73FA136F74F997.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Amerodectes longifuscus sp. nov. is similar to three species of this genus described from hosts of the family Emberizidae: A. phyrgillus Mironov & González-Acuña 2011, A. sicalis Mironov & González-Acuña 2011, and A. zonotrichiae Mironov & González-Acuña 2014. All those species have, in males, setae h 3 long, exceeding the distance between scapular setae se, and the aedeagus reaching the midlevel or posterior margins of the adanal suckers. The new species can be distinguished from all three species in having the coxal fields I closed in males (posterior part of epimerites I connected with epimerites II), and by having a median dark band on the hysteronotal shield and the posterior part of the prodorsal shield. In males of A. phyrgillus, A. sicalis and A. zonotrichiae, the coxal fields I are open (epimerites I and II are not connected), and the dorsal shields lack any longitudinal dark patch. Females of the new species are also easily distinguished from the same three species by the presence of the median dark band on the anterior hysteronotal shield and in the posterior half of the prodorsal shield. Any median sclerotized bands are absent in the other three species.	en	Hernandes, Fabio Akashi, Pedroso, Luiz Gustavo A., Oniki-Willis, Yoshika (2016): Five new feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Acariformes: Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) from passerines and hummingbirds (Aves) of Brazil.

Amerodectes vireonis sp. nov. resembles five other species of the genus which have, in males, setae h 3 spiculiform and short, and the aedeagus reaching the level of the adanal suckers, namely: A. caribaeus Mironov & Gonzalez-Acuña 2011, A. contopus Mironov & González-Acuña 2011, A. plumbeus Mironov & González-Acuña 2011, A. troglodytis (Černý 1974), and A. wilsoniae Mironov & González-Acuña 2011. The new species is distinguished from these and also from all remaining species of the genus by having, in males, the prodorsal shield completely split transversally at the level of the scapular setae. In males of all known species, the prodorsal shield at most has lateral incisions surrounding setae se, as in A. pitangi (Mironov 2008) and A. troglodytis (Černý 1974).

Tyrannidectes synallaxis sp. nov. resembles T. anairetes Mironov & González-Acuña 2011 by lacking setae f 2, and also in having, in females, setae ps 2 and ps 3 setiform (not button-like) and h 2 lacking terminal filament. The new species is clearly distinguished from the latter in having the following features: in both sexes, numerous lacunae are present on the prodorsal and hysteronotal shields; in males, the aedeagus is much longer, surpassing the body terminus and slightly extending beyond the apices of setae h 3; and in females, setae e 2 are inserted far anterior from the postero-lateral angles of the hysterosomal shield. In both sexes of T. anairetes the dorsal shields are smooth, the aedeagus of males reaches only the level of the anterior margins of the adanal suckers, and in females, setae e 2 are inserted at the posterior margins of the anterior hysterosomal shield.	en	Hernandes, Fabio Akashi, Pedroso, Luiz Gustavo A., Oniki-Willis, Yoshika (2016): Five new feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Acariformes: Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) from passerines and hummingbirds (Aves) of Brazil.

03D087EB2F28A244FF73FED86926FEFA.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Trochilodectes willisi sp. nov. resembles T. brevicaulus Černý, 1974 and T. ramphodonis Park & Atyeo, 1974 in having the aedeagus reaching the midlevel between setae g and ps 3. In T. brevipenis Hernandes, 2013 it reaches only the level of setae g, in T. trochilidarum (Trouessart, 1885) it extends to the level of ps 3, and in all the remaining species the aedeagus is much longer and always extends beyond the level of setae ps 3 (Park & Atyeo 1974). The new species is distinguished from the two closest species, T. brevicaulus and T. ramphodonis, in having a pair of thin, oblique adanal shields between setae g and ps 3 in males. These sclerites are absent in T. brevicaulus and T. ramphodonis, and also in T. bicuspidus, T. latifoliatus, and T. ramphodonis, albeit present in five other species of the genus (T. abbreviatus, T. alloptinus, T. buconvexus, T. mucronatus, T. tenuifolia). It also is distinguished from T. brevicaulus in having much shorter setae h 3 in males, approximately equal to the width of each opisthosomal lobe. In T. brevicaulus setae h 3 are about twice as long as each lobe’s width. Females of Trochilodectes willisi are distinguished from those of T. brevicaulus in having the length and greatest width of lobar shield (at level of h 2) subequal, setae h 1 situated posterior to the level of setae f 2, and the anterior hysteronotal shield without any ornamentation. In females of T. brevicaulus, the lobar shield is 1.3 – 1.4 times wider than long, setae h 1 are anterior to the level of setae f 2, and the posterior part of anterior hysteronotal shield is ornamented with several circular lacunae. Females of the new species differ from T. ramphodonis in having the bases of setae f 2 situated on the very margin of lobar shield, and a narrower terminal cleft with the length exceeding about 6 times the width at level of setae ps 1. In females of T. ramphodonis, the bases of setae f 2 are moved mesal from the lateral margins of lobar shield, and the terminal cleft is 3 – 4 times the width at level of ps 1.	en	Hernandes, Fabio Akashi, Pedroso, Luiz Gustavo A., Oniki-Willis, Yoshika (2016): Five new feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Acariformes: Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) from passerines and hummingbirds (Aves) of Brazil.

Xynonodectes phaethornis sp. nov. is most similar to X. glaucalis Park & Atyeo, 1975 in having setae h 1, in males, inserted at the midline of the opisthosomal lobes (rather than on their inner margins as in X. gracilior (Trouessart, 1885), and by the shape of opisthosomal lobes, with the terminal cleft well-spaced (and not narrow with inner margins of lobes almost touching, as in X. serratus). The new species can be distinguished from X. glaucalis by the following features: in males, the adanal shields are absent, the aedeagus does not reach the level of the anterior end of anal opening; in females, epimerites I are free, and the supranal concavity is situated posterior to the level of setae h 1 and is almost continuous with the terminal cleft. In males of X. glaucalis, a pair of adanal shields is present anterior to the adanal suckers, the aedeagus reaches the level of the adanal suckers; in females, the supranal concavity is situated approximately at the same level as setae h 1, clearly detached from the terminal cleft.	en	Hernandes, Fabio Akashi, Pedroso, Luiz Gustavo A., Oniki-Willis, Yoshika (2016): Five new feather mites of the subfamily Pterodectinae (Acariformes: Astigmata: Proctophyllodidae) from passerines and hummingbirds (Aves) of Brazil.
