Abstract
Eggs of 3 new species of feather mites of the genus Genoprotolichus Gaud & Atyeo (Pterolichoidea, Pterolichidae) and 3 new species of the genus Protonyssus Trouessart (Analgoidea, Xolalgidae) were taken from 3 species of New World parrots, namely, Aratinga holochlora (Sclater), A. canicularis (L.) and the extinct Conuropsis carolinensis (L.). Among congeners, egg shape and ornamentation were similar, and oviposition sites were identical.Keywords
