Ornithoica bistativa, Ornithomya avicularia cf. aobatoensis, Haemaphysalis flava and Centrorhynchus turdi were obtained from Hwamei, and Ornithonyssus sylvialum and Anonchotaenia sp, were obtained from the Leiothrixes, respectively. All of these external parasites and the acanthocephalan species are newly recorded from these two avian species in Japan.
