Syringophiloidus seiuri Bochkov and Galloway 2001: 2025 , fig. 9.

This species was described from Seiurus aurocapilla (Linnaeus) View in CoL ( Passeriformes View in CoL : Parulidae View in CoL ) from USA. The same host was infected in USA and Canada (Manitoba) ( Clark 1964; Kethley 1970; Bochkov & Galloway 2001). S. seiuri was recorded on several following hosts: Helmitheros vermivorum (Gmelin) (Parulidae) View in CoL in USA, Melospiza melodia (Wilson) (Emberizidae) in USA, M. lincolnii (Audubon) (Emberizidae) in USA, Quelea erythrops (Hartlaub) (Ploceidae) View in CoL in Togo, Ploceus baglafecht (Daudin) (Ploceidae) View in CoL in Congo, P. superciliosus (Shelley) View in CoL in Togo and Oreothlypis ruficapilla (Wilson) (Parulidae) View in CoL in California ( Bochkov et al. 2011; Clark 1964; Skoracki & Dabert 2002). Below we give a new host record from family Ploceidae View in CoL .

Material examined. 13 females and 2 males from Ploceus xanthops Hartlaub ( Passeriformes : Ploceidae ) (new host), KENYA: Yimbo (Nyanza), 17 May 1969, coll. unknown, (Reg. No. 22435). 7 females and 1 male are deposited in the AMU (Reg. No. AMU–SYR.471), 6 females and 1 male in the LMEE (Reg. No. LMEE /S/10).
