The new species and their type-hosts are : aterrimi from Probosciger aterrimus, roseicapillae from Kakatoe roseicapilla, funerei from Calyptorhynchus funereus, leadbeateri from Kakatoe leadbeateri, thompsoni from Kakatoe haematupygia, fulgidi from Psittrichas fulgidus, and rorati from Lorius roratus. There is one new synonymy : F. pallida (Piaget) (= F. cacatuae Conci). A key is given to species of the genus.
