Two new species and new host and geographic records are established for nasal mites of the sarcoptiform family Epidermoptidae (Turbinoptinae) from birds in Louisiana. Congocoptes dryocopi sp. n. from Dryocopus pileatus and Congocoptes sphyrapicicola sp. n. from Sphyrapicus varius are described. New host records include Turbinoptes strandtmanni from Larus atricilla, L. argentatus, and Hydroprogne caspia, Schoutedenocoptes americanus from Coccyzus americanus, Congocoptes furmani from Centurus carolinus, and Congocoptes sp. from Dendrocopos pubescens. New geographic records are established for these species as well as Colinoptes cubanensis from Colinus virginianus. The male of Schoutedenocoptes americanus is described for the first time. Also, an additional record and a description of the male of Cytonyssus troglodyti (Cytoditidae) from the nasal passages of Thryothorus ludovicianus are presented. The systematics and host relationships of these species are discussed.
The Journal of Parasitology is the official publication of the American Society of Parasitologists (ASP). It has been in print continuously since 1914, when it was founded by Henry Baldwin Ward. The journal focuses on general parasitology, as well as parasites of medical, veterinary, and economic importance. Most of the emphasis rests with eukaryotic parasites, although vectors for prokaryotic organisms and viruses are also included. The journal is printed at Allen Press in Lawrence, Kansas, in six issues per year. Institutional subscriptions are available. Membership in ASP includes receipt of the Journal of Parasitology, a quarterly Newsletter, and abstracts for the annual meetings; students can join at a much reduced rate. The journal is online via BioOne. The editor of the journal is Dr. Michael V.K. Sukhdeo.
