- Abstract
A new species of parasitic mite of the family Syringophilidae (Acariformes: Cheyletoidea), Chenophila marmaronetta sp. nov. is described from the secondary quill feathers of Marmaronetta angustirostris (Menetries) (Anseriformes: Anatidae) from Turkey. This species differs from closely related Ch. platyrhynchos Tymcio et al., 2013 by the presence of 9 chambers in each medial branch of the peritremes (vs 5 chambers in Ch. platyrhynchos), length of the stylophore 220-235 (vs 255-275), and lengths of setae vi, ve, d1 and d2 40-55, 65-70, 90-105 and 170, respectively (vs 65-85, 80-100, 130-170 and 85-150).
