| abstract | The genus Cheletopsis Oudemans, 1904 (Cehyletidae) is revised. The species of this genus are predators living in the quills of birds of the order Charadriiformes. All the existing type material have been examined. Three new species, i.e. Cheletopsis limnodromi sp.n., C. rynchops sp.n. and C. prosobonialis sp.n. are described from the quills of Limnodromus griseus in USA, Rycnhops flavirostris in Mozambique and Prosobonia cancellata in French Polynesia, respectively. The species, C. magnanima Oudemans, 1904 is considered here as a species inquirenda. The distribution of the species of the genus Cheletopsis on their respective hosts is discussed. |
