Proctophyllodes Robin, 1868

Type species

Dermaleichus glandarinus Koch, 1841 , by subsequent designation ( Trouessart 1885: 77).

About 180 Proctophyllodes species have been described to date, mostly from passeriform hosts ( Atyeo and Braasch 1966; Mironov 2012; Mironov and OConnor 2014; Wang et al. 2014; Hernandes et al. 2017; Klimov et al. 2017; Mironov 2017; Mironov et al. 2017; Yamasaki et al. 2018; Mironov 2019; Hernandes and Flechtmann 2020; Pedroso and Hernandes 2021; Zhang et al. 2021). In Brazil, excluding two cases of misidentification or accidental contamination (detailed in Pedroso and Hernandes 2021), about 10 Proctophyllodes species have so far been reported ( Trouessart 1899; Atyeo and Braasch 1966; Kanegae et al. 2008; Valim et al. 2011; Amaral et al. 2012; Enout et al. 2012; Daud et al. 2015; Hernandes and Flechtmann 2020; Hernandes 2021; Pedroso and Hernandes 2021).
