Abstract:

Three new species of Psittaconirmus are described: opopsittae (type-host Opopsitta diophthalma) in the nominate subgenus Psittaconirmus; micropsittae (type-host Micropsitta bruijnii) in the new subgenus Parapsittaconirmus; and kulmani (type-host Charmosyna papou) in the new subgenus Xenopsittaconirmus. Host-parasite relationships are discussed.
