| Abstract: | Seventeen previously described species of Philopterus are recognized and redescribed. Nine new species are described: clayae (type host Corvus capensis), ptilostomi (type host Ptilostomus afer), dumani (type host Pyrrhocorax graculus), cubensis (type host Corvus nasicus), urocissae (type host Urocissa caerulea), emersoni (type host Dendrocitta formosae), dalgleishi (type host Corvus tasmanicus), craigi (type host Corvus coronoides), and palmai (type host Corvus moneduloides). Philopterus cristata Malcomson and P. vagabunda Ansari are placed as new junior synonyms of P. crassipes (Burmeister). A key is provided for the identification of these 26 species. |
