Proctophyllodes mesocaulus Mack-Fira and Cristea- Nastasescu, 1968

Materials examined. 4 males and 4 females from flight feathers of the black redstart, Phoenicurus ochruros (Gmelin, 1774) ( Passeriformes : Muscicapidae ), Artvin, Türkiye, 21 January 2022, coll. G. Eren.

Remarks. The feather mite Proctophyllodes mesocaulus was previously known only from the common redstart, Phoenicurus phoenicurus (Linnaeus, 1758) , in Europe ( Romania) (Mack-Firă and Cristea- Năstăsescu, 1968; Mironov et al., 2022). The finding of Proctophyllodes mesocaulus on Ph. ochruros is a new host record for this mite.
