Material examined.
Six females and

Remarks.
Examination of the
type
material of
Syringophilus hylocichlae
described by
Clark (1964)
and deposited in the FMNH, allow us to synonymize this species with
Syringophiliopsis
turdi
(
Fritsch, 1958
)
. All morphological features and setae measurements of
S. hylocichlae
perfectly correspond with
S. turdi
.
