Abstract: Three new species of the quill mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Syringophilidae) are described and illustrated from African passerines trapped in Bamenda Highlands (Cameroon): Syringophilopsis veselovsky sp. n. from Pycnonotus barbatus (Pycnonotidae); Neoaulonastus zosterops sp. n. from Zosterops senegalensis (Zosteropidae) and Picobia oritis sp. n. from Cyanomitra oritis (Nectarinidae). Additionally, two new host records are reported: Cisticola chubbi (Sylviidae) for Aulobia cisticolae Skoracki et Sikora and Linurgus olivaceus (Fringillidae) for Syringophilopsis kirgizorum Bochkov, Mironov et Kravtsova.
