Genus Tyrannidectes Mironov, 2008

Type species: Tyrannidectes berlai Mironov 2008 (in Mironov et al. 2008) , by original designation.

The genus, including the new species described below, incorporates 11 species associated with Neotropical passerines of the families Corvidae , Furnariidae , Rhinocryptidae , Turdidae , and Tyrannidae ( Trouessart 1885; Černý 1974; Hernandes & Valim 2005, 2006; Mironov et al. 2008; Valim & Hernandes 2008; Mironov & González-Acuña 2011, 2015). It is very similar to Amerodectes , but unlike the latter, setae sR III are absent from trochanters III.
