Abstract
A new species of parasitic mite of the family Syringophilidae (Acariformes: Cheyletoidea), Chenophila marmaronettasp. nov. is described from the secondary quill feathers of Marmaronetta angustirostris (Menetries) (Anseriformes: Anatidae) from Turkey. This species differs from closely related Ch. platyrhynchosTymcio et al., 2013 by the presence of 9 chambers in each medial branch of the peritremes (vs 5 chambers in Ch. platyrhynchos), length of the stylophore 220–235 (vs 255–275), and lengths of setae vi, ve, d1 and d2 40–55, 65–70, 90–105 and 170, respectively (vs 65–85, 80–100, 130–170 and 85–150).
