Syringophilopsis turdi ( Fritsch, 1958)

Syringophilus turdi Fritsch, 1958: 233 View in CoL , fig. 4. Type material lost (in Kethley 1970: 24). Syringophilopsis turdus, Kethley 1970: 24 .

Syringophilopsis turdi, Skoracki 2011: 158 , figs. 115–117.

Syringophilus hylocichlae Clark,1964 View in CoL syn. nov: 87, figs. 28–29; Types deposited in FMNH, examined. Type host: Turdus pilaris Linnaeus ( Passeriformes View in CoL : Turdidae View in CoL ). Type locality: Germany.

Material examined. Six females and 3 males (assigned as paratypes of Syringophilus hylocichlae ) ( FMNH uncatalogued) from Catharus fuscescens (Stephens) ( Passeriformes : Turdidae ), USA: Maryland, Beltsville, 27 May 1960, coll. A. R. Clark, all material in FMNH.

Host and distribution. Catharus fuscescens (Stephens) [new host] ( Turdidae ) from USA (Maryland) (present paper), Turdus albicollis Vieillot (Turdidae) from Argentina ( Skoracki & Sikora, 2002), T. atrogularis Jarocki from Kazakhstan ( Skoracki & Bochkov 2010), T. iliacus Linnaeus from Poland and Slovakia (Skoracki 2011), T. migratorius Linnaeus from USA ( Georgia) (Skoracki et al. 2008), T. philomelos Brehm from Poland (Skoracki 2011), Russia ( Bochkov & Galloway 2001) and Slovakia (Skoracki 2004), T. pilaris Linnaeus from Germany ( Fritsch 1958), Poland (Skoracki 2011) and Slovakia (Skoracki 2004).

Remarks. Examination of the type material of Syringophilus hylocichlae described by Clark (1964) and deposited in the FMNH, allow us to synonymize this species with Syringophiliopsis turdi ( Fritsch, 1958) . All morphological features and setae measurements of S. hylocichlae perfectly correspond with S. turdi .
