Title: Feather mites (Acariformes: Astigmata) of the brown noddy, Anous stolidus (L.) (Charadriiformes: Laridae), with description of two new species from Brazil
Abstract: We inspected feather mites (Acariformes: Astigmata) associated with the brown noddy, Anous stolidus stolidus (Linnaeus), for the first time in the Southern hemisphere. Three feather mites are herein reported, including two new species: Alloptes (Sternalloptes) hidasii sp. nov. (Analgoidea: Alloptidae), Analloptes tintinnabulus sp. nov. (Analgoidea: Xolalgidae), and Grenieria bicaudata Dabert and Atyeo, 1997 (Pterolichoidea: Syringobiidae). The latter species was originally described from a different subspecies of this host in Hawaii.
