Abstract
The diagnostic characteristics of the genus Ramphasticola Carriker are reevaluated. They are of sufficient magnitude to justify the removal of Ramphasticola from synonymy with Myrsidea Waterston and merit its recognition as a distinct genus. The currently recognized three species of Ramphasticola are illustrated and redescribed. A new species, R. moylei, from the type host Ramphastos tucanus cuvieri Wagler in Peru, is described.
