Abstract

This study provides the first account on feather mites associated with pelecaniform birds (Pelecaniformes) in Brazil. New records of nine feather mite species of the families Alloptidae, Xolalgidae (Analgoidea) and Freyanidae (Pterolichoidea) were made from tropicbirds, gannets, boobies, and cormorants from coastal areas of Brazil.
