Abstract

The paper presents descriptions of new
taxa and new records of quill mites of the family
Syringophilidae Lavoipierre, 1953 (Acari: Prostigmata: Cheyletoidea) parasitising aquatic birds in the
Faroe Islands, Denmark. Sulisyringophilus jenskjeldi
n. gen., n. sp., is described from the northern gannet,
Morus bassanus (Linnaeus) (Suliformes: Sulidae).
The new genus, Sulisyringophilus, is new genus differs from the morphologically similar genus Procellariisyringophilus Schmidt and Skoracki, 2007 by the
presence of lateral hypostomal teeth and leg setae vsII
in females, the features which are absent in the latter.
A new species Charadriphilus lymnocryptes n. sp. is
described from the jack snipe, Lymnocryptes minimus
(Brünnich) (Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae). Additionally, two rarely recorded species, Niglarobia ereuneti Kethley, 1970, and Creagonycha lara Kethley,
1970, are reported from two charadriiform hosts: the
semipalmated sandpiper, Calidris pusilla (Linnaeus)
and the black-legged kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla (Linnaeus), respectively.
