Genus Pandionacarus Balogh

Pandionacarus fuscus ( Nitzsch, 1818)

Hosts and distribution. This species was described ex Pandion haliaetus (Linnaeus) ( Accipitriformes : Pandionidae ) from Germany ( Nitzsch 1818) and recorded from the same host all over the world ( Philips 2000), including Colombia (Dept. Antioquia, Medellín) ( Parra-Henao et al. 2011).

Remark. The record of this species from Ramphastos vitellinus citreolaemus (Gould) ( Piciformes : Ramphastidae ) given by Parra-Henao et al. (2011) is almost certainly a contamination. According to Atyeo and Gaud (1981) P. fuscus is strictly associated with P. haliaetus .
