The majority of described species are associated with ten families of passerines, from both the infraorders Passerida and Corvida (Mironov, 2006), with two species recorded from a few non-passeriform hosts, namely from African barbets ( Piciformes: Lybiidae) (Gaud &amp; Mouchet 1957) and New Guinean rails ( Gruiformes: Rallidae) (Atyeo &amp; Gaud 1977; Hernandes et al. 2010). All representatives of this genus were recorded from birds distributed in the Old World.</p><p>The genus Montesauria belongs to the Pterodectes generic group, which unites morphologically derived pterodectine genera, characterized by the posterior or postero-lateral position of setae ps 3 in relation to anal suckers in the male, and associated predominately with passerines (Mironov 2009). Within this generic group, Montesauria and four more genera, Alaudicola Mironov, 1996, Anisodiscus Park and Atyeo, 1971, Dolichodectes Park and Atyeo, 1971, and Pedanodectes Park and Atyeo, 1971, constitute the Montesauria generic complex, representatives of which have the genital papillae situated at the level of the genital arch or posterior to it. This generic complex can be also interpreted as a grouping of derived pterodectines distributed in the Old World.</p><p>When Oudemans (1905) established the genus Montesauria he did not clearly differentiate it from Pterodectes Robin, 1877 . Therefore until the 1960s, subsequent authors described the species that actually belong to Montesauria as members of the genus Pterodectes, which encompassed in that period all pterodectines in the current sense. Park and Atyeo (1971a) established the subfamily Pterodectinae and gave uniform diagnoses for genera they recognized. As a result of this work the genus Montesauria received a modern diagnosis and became the most numerous genus of the subfamily. Further, Mironov (2006) revised the species content of Montesauria and arranged all known species into nine species groups. Although the species content and taxonomic limits of this genus are relatively clear now, this taxon still needs redescriptions of many species described prior to the 1960s (Trouessart 1885; Robin &amp; Mégnin 1877; Gaud &amp; Petitot 1948; Gaud 1952; Gaud &amp; Mouchet 1957).</p><p>Three species of this genus, Montesauria mainati (Trouessart, 1885), M. oxyphylla (Gaud and Petitot, 1948) and M. papillo (Gaud and Petitot, 1948), were previously recorded from Vietnam. In the present paper we describe five new species of the genus Montesauria and establish one new species group in its content. Three previously recorded Montesauria species were not recollected in the course of the present study. Montesauria mainati was recently redescribed based on the type material (Mironov 2006).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CF4855FF91EE6CFF57C247FC92FA56	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Montesauria abroscopi sp. n. belongs to the papillo species group (Mironov 2006) and among its previously known species is most close to M. eurycalyx (Gaud, 1964), described from Cisticola brachyptera (Sharpe) (Cisticolidae) by having the following features in males: the genital arch has relatively short wing-like extensions, the basal sclerite of the genital arch is trapezium-shaped, the aedeagus extends to the level of terminal cleft, and setae h3 are spiculiform. Montesauria abroscopi differs from that species by the following features: in both sexes, the prodorsal and hysteronotal shields are covered with numerous small ciscular lacunae (Figs. 1 A, 2A); in males, the terminal cleft is narrow trapezoidal in form, the inner margins of epimerites IIIa have narrow extensions directed backward and bearing setae 4b (Fig. 1 B), setae h3 32–36 long, seta d of tarsus IV is short spiculiform sitting on small inflated base (Fig. 3 E); in females, the posterior margin of prodorsal shield is straight, and the primary spermaduct is slightly enlarged in the proximal 1/8th. In both sexes of M. eurycalyx, the prodorsal and hysteronotal shields lack lacunae; in males, the terminal cleft is angle-shaped, the inner margins of epimerites IIIa have no extensions, setae h3 are 65–75 long, seta d of tarsus IV is button-like; in females, the posterior margin of prodorsal shield is sinuous, and the proximal enlargement of the primary spermaduct is about 1/3rd of its total length.</p><p>Remark. Within the papillo species group, M. abroscopi and two more species described below in the present paper ( M. phylloscopi sp. n. and M. seicerci sp. n.) constitute a distinct complex of closely related species, characterized by the following combination of features in males: the anterior margin of prodorsal shield has a short blunt-angular extension, the terminal cleft is shaped as a narrow trapezium, the anterior margin of the terminal cleft is slightly convex, the inner margins of epimerites IIIa have a narrow extension directed backward and bearing the bases of setae 4b, and seta d of tarsus IV is short spiniform sitting on small inflation (Figs. 1 A, 3A, E.)</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet derives from the generic name of the host, and is a noun in the genitive case.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CF4855FF91EE67FF57C561FA68FD01	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Montsauria macronoi sp. n. strongly differs from all Montesauria species characterized by the presence of setae f2 (Mironov 2006). Among previously described species, this species could be formally compared with species of the heterocaula species group, for instance with M. nesocharis Mironov and Fain, 2003 from Nesocharis shelleyi (Alexander) ( Estrildidae), because of having elongated epimerites II and lanceolate setae h 3 in males and of the absence of setae ve in both sexes. Montsauria macronoi differs from that species and other representatives of the species complex “with setae f2 ” by the following features. In both sexes, trochanteral setae sR III are absent, coxal fields I, II lack large heavily sclerotized areas. In males, the terminal cleft is parallel-sided and narrow, setae ps1 are situated in the middle of opisthosomal lobes and approximately equidistant from their inner and outer margins; the aedeagus almost extends to the level of lobar apices. In females, setae ps1 are situated dorsally and approximately equidistant from the margins of opisthosomal lobes; the head of spermatheca is cup-shaped, the distal one third of the primary spermaduct is enlarged forming a rather long bursa copulatrix.</p><p>In both sexes of M. nesocharis, trochanteral setae sR III are present, lateral parts of coxal fields I, II are heavily sclerotized; in males, the margins of the terminal cleft are strongly divergent, setae ps1 are situated on the inner margin of the opisthosomal lobes, the aedeagus does not extend to the level of the terminal cleft; in females, setae ps1 are situated on the inner margins of the opisthosomal lobes, the head of spermatheca is cylindrical and longitudinally striated, the primary spermaduct is enlarged near the copulatory opening only.</p><p>Remark. Montsauria macronoi sp. n. and the next species, M. pellornei sp. n., are strongly different from all previously described species, and we arrange them here into a separate species group macronoi . Based on the set of characters proposed for diagnoses of species groups of the genus Montesauria (Mironov 2006), the macronoi species group is characterized by the following combination of features. Both sexes: setae f2 present; coxal fields I, II without large sclerotized area; setae c2 situated dorsally and off hysteronotal shield, trochanteral setae sR III absent. Male: setae h1 anterior to terminal cleft; setae ps1 situated in the middle of opisthosoma, distantly from inner margins of lobes; opisthosomal lobes short (not longer than wide), not narrowed apically, lobar apex with pair of blunt teeth, lateral margin with rounded extensions at base of setae h2; setae h3 lanceolate, genital arch small with short lateral extensions; sternum long and connected to epimerites II; coxal fields III open, coxal fields IV without large sclerotized areas; legs III, IV without ventral apophyses. Female: setae ps1 situated dorsally, distant inner margins of opisthosomal lobes, anterior hysteronotal and lobar shields separated dorsally; legs I, II not modified.</p><p>Etymology.

Among previously known Dolichodectes species, the new species is most similar to D. myrmecocichlae Mironov and Fain, 2003 described from Myrmecocichla nigra (Vieillot) (Muscicapidae) by having the following features in males: the posterior part of hysteronotal shield is ornamented with small ovate lacunae, the genital shields is separated into two pieces, and the transverse bridge flanking the anal field is straight and not touching the anterior margin of terminal cleft. Dolichodectes furcilobus sp. n. clearly differs from that species by the following features: in males, the posterior ends of opisthosomal lobes have a pair of long spine–like extensions, sternum formed by epimerites I is connected to epimerites II by transverse bands, the median part of paragenital apodemes is entire, and solenidion ω 1 of tarsus II is strongly elongated and extends to the distal part of ambulacral disc; in females, the lobar shield is completely separated from the anterior part of hysteronotal shield, and the proximal part of the primary spermaduct is uniformly enlarged. In males of D. mirmecocichlae, the posterior ends of opisthosomal lobes is simply acute, the posterior end of sternum has short lateral extensions not reaching corresponding epimerites II, the median part of paragenital apodemes is split into several separate fragments, and solenidion ω 1 of tarsus II extends to distal end of the segment; in females, the lobar shield is not separated from the anterior part of hysteronotal shield, and the primary spermaduct has a short ampuliform enlargement separated from the head of spermatheca by 15–20 micrometers.</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the bifurcate posterior ends of the opisthosomal lobes in males.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03CF4855FF88EE71FF57C2B5FA9AF998	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The majority of species in the wolffi group (9 of the 15 included species) are associated with passerines of the infraorder Corvida in the Australian and Indo-Malayan regions, and only two species from this group, Proterothrix ranci (Gaud, 1952) and P. terpsiphone Mironov, Literak, Capek and Koubek, 2010, were described from corvid hosts in Africa and Madagascar (Gaud 1952, 1968; Park &amp; Atyeo 1971a; Mironov et al. 2010). Three species of the wolffi group and a sole species of the megacaula group ( P. megacaula Mironov and Diao, 2008) were described from hosts of the infraorder Passerida in China (Mironov et al. 2008a; Mironov &amp; Proctor 2009).

Within the wolffi species group, Proterothrix alcippeae sp. n. obviously belongs to the paradoxornis species complex (Mironov &amp; Proctor 2009) by having setae e of tarsi I lanceolate in males. Among three previously known species of this complex, the new species is most similar to P. sarabushae Mironov and Proctor, 2009 described from Paradoxornis verreauxi (Sharpe) (Sylviidae) (in other classifications, the genus Paradoxornis Gould is included in Timaliidae or constitute a separate family Paradoxornithidae; see Robson, 2007) by the following features in males: tarsus I has a thumb-like dorsal extension (Fig. 21 B), a pregenital sclerite is present and fused with the inner tips of epimerites IV, lateral hysteronotal sclerites are present. Proterothrix alcippeae differs from P. sarabushae by these features: in both sexes, setae mG of genua I, II are distinctly thickened but have filiform apex; in males, the pentagonal sclerotized frame in the postero–median part of propodosoma remains open posteriorly, the inner tips of epimerites IIa are separated from epimerites II, the posterior part of hysteronotal shield is without lacunae; in females, spindle–shaped setae h2 have short filiform apices, the posterior margin of anterior hysteronotal shield lack incisions. In both sexes of P. sarabushae, setae mG of genua I, II are lanceolate; in males, the pentagonal sclerotized structure is completely closed, the inner tips of epimerites IIa are fused with the posterior ends of epimerites II, almost all surface of the hysteronotal shield with exception of opisthosomal lobes is covered with small circular lacunae; in females, setae h2 are simple spindle–like, the posterior margin of anterior hysteronotal shield has a pair of deep lateral incisions extending beyond bases of setae e2.</p><p>Etymology.

The new genus belongs to the Proterothrix generic group (Mironov 2009) and in overall appearance it is a typical representative of this group. It clearly differs from the genus Proterothrix Park and Atyeo, 1971 and three other genera of this group, Afroproterothrix Mironov and Wauthy, 2010, Megalodectes Park and Atyeo, 1971, and Nanopterodectes Mironov, 2009, by the following combination of features: in both sexes, idiosomal setae c1, d2, and e2, solenidion σ of genu III and seta kT of tibia III are absent; in males, the distal part of opisthosomal lobes is poorly sclerotized and resembles terminal membranes. Within the generic group, Proterothrix has the full set of leg setae occurring in Proctophyllodidae, and most its species also have full set of idiosomal setae (with the exception of Proterothrix megacaula, which lacks setae c1). Picipterodectes is similar to Afroproterothrix in lacking idiosomal setae c1, d2; however the latter genus, in contrast to Picipterodectes, has also lost idiosomal setae f2 and trochanteral setae sR III, but retains the solenidion σ of genu III.</p><p>Hosts.
