Abstract

A new feather mite species Genoprotolichus tilae sp. nov. is described from the white-eyed parakeet, Psittacara leucophthalmus (Müller PLS, 1776) (Psittaciformes: Psittacidae), from Brazil. A list of pterolichid mite genera associated with parrots (Prittaciformes) is presented, and data on Genoprotolichus species recorded from the New World are summarized. Some diagnostic features (scapular setae) of all previously described species of the genus Genoprotolichus are presented.
