Abstract

Nearly all the known species of Toritrombicula are bird-infesting parasites. A historical review of Tori. densipiliata is given and a neotype is designated to replace Walch's type of T. densipiliata which is lost. The genus is redefined on the basis of larval, nymphal and adult characters and 2 new species of Toritrombicula ( uphami and asa ) are described. Womersley & Audy's subspecies Tori. densipiliata dumbletoni is given specific rank.
