Nevertheless, the genus is certainly much more diverse than currently known. Park &amp; Atyeo (1971a) 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 &amp; Hernandes (2010) revised the genus Pterodectes and erected a new genus, Amerodectes Valim &amp; 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 c2 are situated off the hysteronotal shield, and in female setae h2 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 &amp; 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).</p><p>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 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D087EB2F25A254FF73FDA26F41FAED	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Seta d of tarsi I, II slightly shorter than corresponding seta f, setae d of tarsi III, IV 2–3 times shorter than corresponding setae f. Genu IV dorsally inflated, with narrow dorsal crest.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Amerodectes longifuscus sp. nov. is similar to three species of this genus described from hosts of the family Emberizidae: A. phyrgillus Mironov &amp; González-Acuña 2011, A. sicalis Mironov &amp; González-Acuña 2011, and A. zonotrichiae Mironov &amp; González-Acuña 2014 . All those species have, in males, setae h3 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.</p><p>Remarks. Although the unique longitudinal pattern of darker sclerotization of this species is absent in previously described species of Amerodectes, it has been reported in species of another pterodectine genus from the Old World: Montesauria euplectes Mironov &amp; Fain 2003, M. jesionowskii Mironov &amp; Kopij 1997, M. macronoi Mironov et al. 2012, and M. pallida Mironov 2008; in the latter three species it has been reported from females only (Mironov &amp; Fain 2003; Mironov &amp; Kopij 1997; Mironov 2008; Mironov et al. 2012).</p><p>Etymology. The specific name refers to the longitudinal dark band on the dorsal shields in both sexes (from longus, L. = long + fuscus, L. = dark, swarthy) and is an adjective.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D087EB2F25A250FF73FA136F74F997	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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 h3; and in females, setae e2 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 e2 are inserted at the posterior margins of the anterior hysterosomal shield.</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is taken from the generic name of the host and is a noun in apposition.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D087EB2F2CA258FF73FF306930FA02	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Trochilodectes willisi sp. nov. resembles T. brevicaulus Černý, 1974 and T. ramphodonis Park &amp; Atyeo, 1974 in having the aedeagus reaching the midlevel between setae g and ps3. In T.</p><p>brevipenis Hernandes, 2013 it reaches only the level of setae g, in T. trochilidarum (Trouessart, 1885) it extends to the level of ps3, and in all the remaining species the aedeagus is much longer and always extends beyond the level of setae ps3 (Park &amp; 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 h3 are about twice as long as each lobe’s width.</p><p>Females of Trochilodectes willisi are distinguished from those of T. brevicaulus in having the length and greatest width of lobar shield (at level of h2) subequal, setae h1 situated posterior to the level of setae f2, 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 h1 are anterior to the level of setae f2, 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 f2 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 ps1. In females of T. ramphodonis, the bases of setae f2 are moved mesal from the lateral margins of lobar shield, and the terminal cleft is 3–4 times the width at level of ps1.</p><p>Etymology. The species is named in memory of the late professor Edwin O’Neill Willis (1935–2015), who has greatly contributed to the improvement and understanding of ornithology in Brazil (Ragusa-Netto 2015).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D087EB2F28A244FF73FED86926FEFA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Genu IV not inflated.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Xynonodectes phaethornis sp. nov. is most similar to X. glaucalis Park &amp; Atyeo, 1975 in having setae h1, 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 h1 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 h1, clearly detached from the terminal cleft.</p><p>Etymology. The specific name is taken from the generic name of the host and is a noun in apposition.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D087EB2F34A240FF73FED86930FE82	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
