Setae d2 situated twice closer to d2 than to e . Pygidial shield well sclerotized, not punctated. Length ratio of setae d2 : d1 : e 1:1:1. Setae f1 and h1 subequal in length. Setae h2 1.7–1.9 times longer than f2 . Aggenital setae ag1 and ag3 subequal in length, both slightly (1.2 times) shorter than ag2. Genital setae g1 and g2 subequal in length. Pseudanal setae ps1 and ps2 subequal in length. Cuticular striations as in Figs 29 and 30 . Legs . Coxal fields of legs I–IV well sclerotized, without punctations. Apodemes of legs III and IV indiscernible. Setae tc”III-IV 1.7 times longer than tc’III-IV . Fan-like setae p’ and p” of legs III and IV with 5 tines each ( Fig. 35 ). Setae 3c 1.3–1.8 times longer than 3b . Apodemes I not fused to apodemes II ( Fig. 33 ). Leg setae vsII absent ( Fig. 34 ).

MALE. Unknown. Type material. Female holotype and 2 female paratypes ( BMOC 82-1212-1) ex. secondary quill of Phoeniconaias minor (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire) ( Phoenicopteriformes : Phoenicopteridae ), BOTSWANA : bird died in captivity and received in November 1982 . Type deposition. All material is deposited at UMMZ . Etymology. The name phoeniconaias refers to the generic name of the host.
