Material examined. 3 males and 16 females ( ZISP 6297–6315 View Materials ) from Chiroxiphia linearis (Bonaparte, 1838) (Pipridae) , COSTA RICA, Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Cordillera de Guanacaste Mts., 10°46’N, 85°18’N; 800 m; 20 August 2009, collectors I. Literak, O. Sychra and M. Capek ; 3 males and 12 females ( ZISP 6182–6196 View Materials ) from Corapipo altera Hellmayr, 1906 (Pipridae) , COSTA RICA, Rincón de la Vieja National Park, Cordillera de Guanacaste Mts., 10°46'N, 85°18'W, 23 August 2009, collectors I. Literak, O. Sychra and M. Capek GoogleMaps ; 10 females ( ZISP 6531–6540 View Materials ) from C. altera , COSTA RICA, Tapantí National Park, Sector Tapantí, Cordillera de Talamanca Mts. , 09°46’N, 83°47’W, 8 August 2009, collectors I. Literak, O. Sychra and M. Capek GoogleMaps ; 4 males and 10 females (ZISP 6541–6554), same host and collection data.

This species is associated with various manakins ( Passeriformes : Pipridae ). Originally, it was described from Pipra aureola (Linnaeus) (type host) in Cayenne (French Guiana) and Ceratopipra erythrocephala (Linnaeus) in “Guyanes” (French Guiana or neighboring territories) ( Trouessart, 1885). Later on, it was recorded from several more species of manakins from South America ( Berla 1959a; Atyeo & Gaud 1968; Enout et al. 2012; Silva et al. 2015) ( Table 1). This is the first finding of this mite in Costa Rica and the first records on Chiroxiphia linearis (Bonaparte) and Corapipo altera Hellmayr.
