S.V. Mironov (SVM 08– 0925– 3 / 2). Type material deposition. All material is deposited in the ZISP, except 4 female paratypes in the AMU (Reg. No. AMU–SYR. 429). Etymology. This species is named in honor of the prominent Russian acarologist, Dr. V.I. Volgin. Differential diagnosis. This new species is morphologically similar to T. modularis Nattress and Skoracki, 2007 described from Prunella modularis (Linnaeus) (Prunellidae) in England (Nattress & Skoracki 2007). In females of both species, setae h 1 and f 1 are subequal in length; the hysteronotal shields are well discernible and setae d 1 are situated anterior to these shields; the hypostomal protuberances are narrow; setae l’ of trochanters III and IV do not extend beyond the corresponding genua. Torotrogla emberizae sp. nov. differs from T. modularis by the following features: in females of T. emberizae, the propodonotal, hysteronotal, and pygidial shields are apunctate; the length of hysteronotal setae is d 1 180–195, d 2 180–195 and e 2 190–200; the length ratio of setae vi: h 1 is 1: 1.5. In females of T. modularis, the propodonotal, hysteronotal, and pygidial shields are densely punctate; the lengths of hysteronotal setae are as follows: d 1 140–160, d 2 135–145, e 2 140–170; the length ratio of setae vi: h 1 is 1: 1.Published as part of Skoracki, Maciej & Mironov, Sergey V., 2013, New species and records of quill mites of the family Syringophilidae (Acari: Prostigmata) from the passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) from the Russian Far East, pp. 554-564 in Zootaxa 3641 (5) on pages 560-562, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3641.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/21775
