A.V. Bochkov & D.V. Chistyakov
Abstract. Charadriphilus lyudmilae gen. et sp. n. is described from quills of the woodcock Scolopax rustica (Aves: Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae) captured in NW Russia. The new genus is distinguished from the genus Budophilus Kethley, 1970 by the presence of medial protuberances on the hypostomal apex, the epimeres I not fused with the epimeres II, segmented lateral branches of peritremes, and the setae h situated closer to setae sci than to setae sce.
