Genus Pterotrogus Gaud

Pterotrogus guatemalensis Mironov, 2005

Hosts and distribution. This species was described ex Campephilus guatemalensis (Hartlaub) ( Piciformes : Picidae ) from NW Colombia (Brava Island) ( Mironov 2005).

Remark. The host is named as C. guatemalensis in the original description but this bird is distributed only from Mexico to W Panama ( Clements et al. 2011). It is possible that this mite was actually collected from C. melanoleucos (Gmelin) , which does occur in Colombia.
