C42B87E2FF83FFDAFF0DFD22992EFA6A.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This new species is named in honor of the prominent acarologist, Dr. Ronald Ochoa. Differential diagnosis. Picobia ochoi sp. nov. is most similar to P. s ay o r n i s Glowska, 2014 described from the Black Phoebe Sayornis nigricans (Swainson) (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae) from Peru (Glowska 2014). In females of both species, each medial branch of the peritremes has 6 – 7 chambers and the borders between chambers of the lateral branches are poorly visible, the stylophore is rounded posteriorly, and punctate in anterior part, the propodonotal shield is represented by two punctate, narrow sclerites bearing bases of setae ve and si, setae ve bases are situated anterior to vi, and the pygidial shield is double-leaf covered with lobes. Females of P. ochoi differ from P. s a y or ni s by the distal edge of the pygidial lobes flounce-like (Figs. 18, 22) and by the lengths of setae vi 20 – 25, ve 20 – 30, c 2 215 – 220, se 220 – 250, e 2 170, f 1 90 – 95, ag 1 160 – 170, 3 c 145, 4 c 170. Females of P. sayor ni s have the pygidial lobes bearing 2 - 4 small, blunt-ended protuberances (Figs. 17, 21) and the setal lengths: vi 30 – 35, ve 40 – 45, c 2 165 – 180, se 185 – 190, e 2 130 – 135, f 1 65, ag 1 100, 3 c 90 – 95, 4 c 105.

Picobia schmidti sp. nov. is most similar to P. myiopagi sp. nov. In females of both species the stylophore is rounded posteriorly and punctated in the anterior part, the propodonotal shield is represented by two punctate narrow sclerites bearing bases of setae ve and si, setae ve bases are situated anterior to vi, the pygidial shield is double-leaf, covered with lobes. Females of P. schmidti are distinguishable from P. myiopagi by the distal part of the pygidial lobes provided with one tiny, sharp spine (Figs. 19, 23) and by the length of setae vi 30 – 45, si 115 – 120, c 2 130 – 135, se 130 – 145 and ag 3 85 – 105. In females of P. myiopagi the pygidial lobes are provided with one large strongly sclerotized spike-shaped outgrowth (Figs. 20, 24) and the lengths of setae are vi 15 – 25, si 145 – 180, c 2 160 – 180, se 160 – 185 and ag 3 120 – 150.	en	Glowska, Eliza, Milensky, Christopher M.

C42B87E2FF87FFD7FF0DF9B19C5EF955.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet derives from the generic name of the host. Differential diagnosis. Picobia myiopagi sp. nov. is most similar to P. sayornis Glowska, 2014 described from the Black Phoebe Sayornis nigricans (Swainson) (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae) from Peru (Glowska 2014). In females of both species the propodonotal shield is represented by two punctate, saber-like lateral sclerites, bearing bases of setae ve and si, the peritremes median branches are with ca. 7 chambers and borders between chambers in the lateral branches are invisible, the hysteronotal shield is absent, the pygidial shield is double-leaf and covered by lobes, agenital setae ag 1 are situated anterior to ag 2 and ag 2 anterior to ag 3, the genital setae are filiform and situated on the genital lobes and the antaxial and paraxial members of claw pairs III – IV are unequal. Picobia myiopagi sp. nov. is distinguishable from P. sayornis by the shape of the pygidial lobes provided with a large strongly sclerotized spike-shaped outgrowth (Figs. 20, 24) and by the length of setae vi 15 – 25, ve 25 – 35, d 1 145 – 160, d 2 160 – 170, e 2 95 – 100, f 1 35 – 50, f 2 60 – 80, ag 1 65 – 80.
