Abstract

Tyrannidae is the largest bird family in the world, with nearly 440 species in the Neotropical region and 146 species in Brazil. Despite numerous studies in Brazil, feather mites associated with tyrant flycatchers are still poorly surveyed. In this study, three new feather mites are described from passerines of the family Tyrannidae in Brazil: Tyrannidectes longisetus sp. n. from Elaenia chilensis Hellmayr, Tyrannidectes machetornis sp. n. from Machetornis rixosa (Vieillot), and Trouessartia pitanga sp. n. from Pitangus sulphuratus (Linnaeus). Feather mites have been reported so far from only 19 tyrant flycatcher species in Brazil, representing only about 13% of the 146 species occurring in this country; naturally, many more mites are yet to be found on the remaining 87%. Twenty species of Trouessartia have been described from 21 hosts in this country – mostly passerines – and undetermined species have been reported from 57 host species of 16 families.
