            <p> Blankaartia sinnamaryi (Floch et Fauran, 1956)</p>
            <p> M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d (p r e v a l e n c e): 21 larvae, from  Coraciiformes ,  Momotidae :  Momotus lessonii (L: 1/1),  Passeriformes ,  Tyrannidae :  Attila spadiceus (Gmelin) (L: 1/2),  Troglodytidae :  Pheugopedius maculipectus (Lafresnaye) (L: 2/5),  Henicorhina leucosticta (Cabanis) (L: 1/3),  Polioptilidae :  Ramphocaenus melanurus Vieillot (L: 1/1),  Turdidae :  Turdus grayi Bonaparte (L: 2/15),  Parulidae :  Helmitheros vermivorum (Gmelin) (U: 1/9). The 21 chiggers were distributed on individual host birds as follows:  M. lessonii (7 larvae on 1 bird),  A. spadiceus (2 larvae on 1 bird),  P. maculipectus (2 and 1 larvae on 2 birds),  H. leucosticta (2 larvae on 1 bird),  R. melanurus (4 larvae on 1 bird),  T. grayi (1 and 1 larva on 2 birds),  H. vermivorum (1 larva on 1 bird). </p>
            <p> R e m a r k s: This chigger has been recorded in widely distributed area from the southern USA (Texas – Brennan 1965; Florida – Spalding et al. 1997) to Brazil (there  B. sinnamaryi has been found parasitising birds, bats, lizards and rodents – Bassini-Silva et al. 2017) and including Costa Rica (Arnold 1970, StekoĽnikov et al. 2007), CUba (Daniel and Stekol’nikov 2003), French Guiana (Floch and Fauran 1956), Honduras (this paper), Jamaica (Brennan 1953), Panama (Brennan and Jones 1961a, Brennan and Yunker 1966), Peru (Brennan and Jones 1961b), Suriname (Brennan and van Bronswijk 1975) and Trinidad (Brennan and Jones 1960). Brennan and Jones (1960) state this species parasitising six bird orders including six families, 13 genera and 21 species, the most numerous in the order  Passeriformes (15 bird species). Bassini-Silva et al. (2017) found  B. sinnamaryi on birds of two orders, three families, six genera with seven species and Walters et al. (2011) observed  B. sinnamaryi parasitising three bird species belonging to three orders. It also infects the bat  Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas) (  Chiroptera :  Phyllostomidae ), 21 bird species of more orders (Brennan and Yunker 1966) and one species of reptiles (Brennan and Jones 1960).  Blankaartia sinnamaryi was reported also from the Falconiformes and Strigiformes (Brennan and YUnker 1966). This is the first report of  B. sinnamaryi in Honduras. Of the seven bird species parasitised there,  M. lessonii ,  P. maculipectus ,  R. melanurus ,  T. grayi and  H. vermivorum are new host records. </p>

            <p> Neoschoengastia dalmati Brennan, 1951</p>
            <p> M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d (p r e v a l e n c e): three larvae, from  Coraciiformes ,  Momotidae :  Momotus lessonii Lesson (L: 1/1). </p>
            <p> R e m a r k s:  Neoschoengastia dalmati was first foUnd on  Momotus lessonii in Guatemala (Brennan 1951). Specimens of  N. dalmati were recorded from two  Momotus sp. , while one individual was taken from  Reithrodontomys sp. (  Rodentia :  Cricetidae ) in Mexico (Brennan and Dalmat 1960). In Honduras, which neighbours Guatemala,  N. dalmati was found for the first time. </p>

            <p> Parasecia soucouyanti (Brennan et Yunker, 1966)</p>
            <p> M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d (p r e v a l e n c e): 16 larvae, from  Piciformes ,  Picidae :  Centurus aurifrons (Wagler) (L: 1/2, U: 2/10),  Passeriformes ,  Furnariidae :  Xiphorhynchus guttatus (Lichtenstein) (L: 1/7). The 16 larvae were distributed on individuals of the birds as follows:  Centurus aurifrons (1, 2 and 11 larvae on 3 birds),  X. guttatus (2 larvae on 1 bird). </p>
            <p> R e m a r k s: The original description of  P. soucouyanti reported the bat  Sturnira ludovici Anthony (  Chiroptera :  Phyllostomidae ) as the type host and also recorded it from the bat  Myotis sp. (Vespertilionidae) in Panama (Brennan and Yunker 1966). An additional host is the rodent  Rhipidomys venustus Thomas in Venezuela (Brennan and Reed 1975). We enlarged the distribution area of  P. soucouyanti to include Honduras and also recorded it from birds for the first time. </p>

            <p> Eutrombicula lipovskyana (Wolfenbarger, 1952)</p>
            <p> M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d (p r e v a l e n c e): three larvae, from  Passeriformes ,  Vireonidae :  Vireo olivaceus (Linnaeus) (U: 1/12),  Parulidae :  Seiurus aurocapilla (Linnaeus) (U: 1/10),  Geothlypis formosa (Wilson) (L: 1/2). Each parasitised bird carried one larva. </p>
            <p> R e m a r k s: This chigger is known to occur in midwestern and southern USA (Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas) and to parasitise amphibians (two species in two genera), turtles (one species), lizards (two families with two species in two genera), snakes (two families with two species in two genera), birds (two orders, Ralliformes with one species and  Passeriformes with 20 species in 19 genera; Wolfenbarger 1952, Walters et al. 2011). It has also been recorded from Panama and Cuba (Daniel and StekoĽnikov 2004). We report  E. lipovskyana for the first time from Honduras and also from the three species on which it was found. All the host species breed in North America and winter in Central America and South America. In September, when we examined birds in Honduras, these host species were in their post-breeding migration and beginning to appear in their wintering grounds (Howell and Webb 1995, Garrigues and Dean 2007). We suppose that migrating birds substantially contribute to the distribution of  E. lipovskyana in the territory of its occurrence. Brennan and Yunker (1966) noted this taxon (as form of  Eutrombicula alfreddugesi [Oudemans]) from the highlands of Chiriqui in Panama, suggesting the species may naturally occur in Central America. Dietsch (2005) brings the study on chiggers parasitising migrating birds in Chiapas (Mexico). The author did not specify the species of chiggers, but more than 60 bird species were studied – nearly all of them (including all the above mentioned bird species reported from Honduras) were the hosts of larvae possibly of  E. lipovskyana . The importance of birds as hosts of chiggers is also shown in the paper of Philips (2000) where the author presented 28 raptors as hosts of 25 different chigger species inclUding  E. lipovskyana . The chigger  E. lipovskyana has been known from numerous hosts (various groups of vertebrates) and over a wide geographic range. Among the bird species studied by us  V. olivaceus is known as a host of another chigger  E. alfreddugesi from the Caribbean region (Walters et al. 2011). The information stated above indicates that  E. lipovskyana is a non-specific parasite; the larvae show a wide ecological and geographical plasticity. </p>
            <p>With respect to the relationships between chiggers and their bird hosts, some common aspects arise:</p>
            <p> (1) All bird species studied by us have a large geographic distribution (Howell and Webb 1995, Garrigues and Dean 2007):  M. lessonii from southern Mexico to southwestern Panama (Stiles 2009);  A. spadiceus from north-western Mexico to western Ecuador, Bolivia, southeastern Brazil to Trinidad;  P. maculipectus from Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras to Nicaragua;  H. leucosticta from central Mexico to northeastern Peru and Surinam;  R. melanurus from Mexico south to Brazil, eastern Venezuela, Colombia and Trinidad;  T. grayi from South Texas, Mexico to northern Colombia;  H. vermivorum from eastern United States, Mexico, Central America to Greater Antilles;  S. aurocapilla from eastern North America, Florida, Central America, many Caribbean islands to northern Venezuela;  C. aurifrons from South United States (NW Texas, SW Oklahoma), Mexico, El Salvador, southwestern Honduras to northcentral Nicaragua;  G. formosa from central and eastern United States (often ranging as far north as Wisconsin to Pennsylvania) to the Yucatán Peninsula and from many islands of the Caribbean to North Venezuela;  V. olivaceus from the United States, many Caribbean islands, Colombia, Chile, French Guiana to Uruguay;  X. guttatus from eastern Colombia through northern Brazil, southern and eastern Venezuela to the Guianas (French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname). </p>
            <p>(2) Some of these birds migrate through Honduras or winter in this area (Dietsch 2005).</p>
