A new quill mite species Syringophiloidus hirundinis (Acari: Syringophilidae] is described from the Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica. The species Syringophiloidus hirundinis had a prevalence of 17.1 % in the two outermost tail feathers (N = 208 adult Barn Swallows) during the breeding season of the Barn Swallow host. Intensity of infestation was 9.7 adult mites per pair of infested tail feathers. The sex ratio was highly biased towards females, with only 7.5 % of all individuals being males (20:3).
Résumé
Une nouvelle espèce d'acarien parasite Syringophiloidus hirundinis (Acari : Syringophilidae) est décrite au niveau du plumage de l'hirondelle Hirundo rustica. Cette nouvelle espèce est observée avec une prévalence de 17,1 % au niveau des plumes des deux pointes de la queue (N = 208 hirondelles adultes) pendant la saison de reproduction de l'oiseau. L'intensité de l'infestation est de 9,7 acariens adultes par plumes de queue. Le sex ratio est biaisé en faveur des femelles car 7,5 % seulement des oiseaux étaient des mâles (20/3).
