Genus Rhinoecius Cooreman, 1946 View in CoL
Type species: Rhinoecius oti Cooreman, 1946 View in CoL
Remarks
Representatives of the genus Rhinoecius View in CoL are specific parasites of owls ( Strigiformes View in CoL ). This genus currently includes 12 species ( Cooreman 1946; Pereira and Castro 1949; Zumpt and Patterson 1951; Strandtmann 1952; Zumpt and Till 1955; Fain 1956, 1957, 1959; Strandtmann and Wharton 1958; Amaral 1962; Bregetova 1965; Wilson 1968; Domrow 1969; Butenko 1971; McClure et al. 1973; Pence 1975; Butenko 1984; Úbeda-Ontiveros et al. 2000; Knee et al. 2008; Knee and Galloway 2017). Fain (1959) treated mite species differing from typical Rhinoecius species by the presence of tritosternum as a separate genus Zumptnyssus Fain, 1959 View in CoL . However, Domrow (1969) suggested that the presence or absence of tritosternum cannot serve as a diagnostic criterion for rhinonyssid genera, and treated Zumptnyssus View in CoL as a synonym of Rhinoecius View in CoL .
