Abstract: A review of arthropod associates taken from Ovenbirds is provided. Two species of louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), one species of blow fly (Diptera: Calliphoridae), four species of lice (Psocodea: Menoponidae, Philopteridae), three species of feather mites (Sarcoptiformes: Proctophyllodidae, Trouessartiidae), one or two species of nasal mites (Mesostigmata: Rhinonyssidae), one species of quill mite (Trombidiformes: Syringophyllidae), and five species of ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) have been collected from Ovenbirds. A number of other arthropods have also been collected from Ovenbirds, or in one case are suspected to occur based on symptoms.
