Abstract
The feather mite genus Proctophyllodes Robin, 1868 (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae) is the most speciose genus in this family, with 181 species placed in 12 species groups. Currently, only 13 species of Proctophyllodes from Passeriformes were recorded in China: P. anthi Vitzthum, 1922, P. ceratophyllus Atyeo & Braasch, 1966, P. garrula Wang, Wang & Su, 2014, P. canora Wang, Wang & Su, 2014, P. scleroticus Zhang, Chen & Wang, 2021, P. glandarinus Atyeo & Braasch, 1966, P. flexuosa Wang, Wang & Su, 2014, P. troncatus Robin, 1877, P. sinensis Gaud & Atyeo, 1976 stat. n., P. vegetans Trouessart, 1899, P. brevis Wang, Wang & Su, 2014, P. weigoldi Vitzthum, 1922 and P. micrurus Zhang, Chen & Wang, 2021. Herein we describe one new species and redescribe P. weigoldi Vitzthum, 1922 from a newly recorded host for the genus Proctophyllodes from two passerines in China, Ixos mcclellandii (Horsfield) (Pycnonotidae) and Poecile montanus (Baldenstein) (Paridae).
