A New Species

The purpose of this study was to record the species of chewing lice parasitising Gyps bengalensis (Gmelin, 1788), the white-rumped vulture, in Pithauli, Nawalparasi District, Nepal, from February to June 2017. Three louse species were identified: Cuculiphilus (Aegypiphilus) gypsis (Eichler, 1944), Colpocephalum sp., and the new species Aegypoecus bengalensis, described herein.

The following three species of parrots: Enicognathus leptorhynchus (King) (Choroy = Slender-billed Parakeet), E. ferrugineus (-Müller) (Cachaña = Austral Parakeet) and Cyanoliseus patagonus (Vieillot) (Tricahue or Barranquero Parrot = Burrowing Parrot) from Southern Chile and Argentina were examined for chewing lice. Four louse species were found: Psittacobrossus patagoni Price and Beer and Heteromenopon macrurum (Eichler) ex the Austral Parakeet, Paragoniocotes meridionalis Guimarães, H. macrurum and P. patagoni ex the Burrowing Parrot, and H. macrurum and a new species of Paragoniocotes Cummings ex the Slender-billed Parakeet and the Austral Parakeet. P. meriodionalis is a new record for Chilean fauna, and E. leptorhynchus is a new host for H. macrurum. Paragoniocotes enicognathidis n. sp. is described and illustrated, discussing the morphological affinities with its close relatives.

We describe and illustrate a new species of sucking louse, Hoplopleura tunneya new species, from the Australian pale field rat, Rattus tunneyi Thomas (Rodentia: Muridae). Currently, 22 species of the genus Hoplopleura Enderlein, 1904 (Phthiraptera: Anoplura: Hoplopleuridae) are known from Australian endemic rodents. Among the seven “new endemic” rodent species of the genus Rattus in Australia, R. tunneyi is one of five hosts to Hoplopleura lice. In addition, we give a list of all the species of Hoplopleura known from Australian endemic rodents. Including the introduced species Polyplax spinulosa, the total number of sucking louse species known from Australian endemic rodents is now 24.

A collection of chewing lice was studied from the Natural History Museum of the Universidade Católica de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Twenty three samples from 16 bird species were examined. Included therein was a new species of the genus Plegadiphilus Bedford, 1939 which is described, illustrated and compared to P. cayennensis Emerson & Price, 1969. An updated list of chewing lice species recorded from birds of that state is presented.

Descriptions and illustrations are given for one new species of Formicaphagus Carriker, 1957 and two new species of Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 from typical antbirds and ground antbirds from Costa Rica. They and their type hosts are: Formicaphagus tyrannina ex Cercomacra tyrannina (Thamnophilidae), Myrsidea mcleannani ex Phaenostictus mcleannani (Thamnophilidae) and Myrsidea klimesi ex Formicarius analis (Formicariidae). These are the first records of Myrsidea from members of the passerine families Thamnophilidae and Formicariidae. Records of two other known louse species, one of Formicaphagus and one of Machaerilaemus Harrison, 1915, both from thamnophilid hosts, are also discussed.

The lice of the Oxylipeurus-complex parasitising the turkey, Meleagris gallopavo, belong to a previously undescribed genus. In this paper, we describe this genus as Valimia new genus, redescribe two of its species: Lipeurus polytrapezius Burmeister, 1838 and Oxylipeurus corpulentus Clay, 1938, and describe the new species Valimia necopinata, discovered during our examination of samples of the two known species. This occurrence represents the first record of three congeneric species of chewing lice parasitising the same host individual.

A New Species

Amyrsidea Ewing, 1927 is a genus of chewing lice comprising 52 species, divided into five subgenera: Amyrsidea sensu stricto, Argimenopon Eichler, 1947, Cracimenopon Carriker, 1954, Desumenopon Carriker, 1954 and Numidimenopon Scharf & Price, 1977 (see Price et al. 2003: 86), which parasitise a wide range of hosts belonging to the avian order Galliformes (see Price et al. 2003: 321). Species of Amyrsidea can be distinguished from species of Menacanthus Neumann, 1912—the other menoponid genus with species parasitic on the same hosts—by lacking ventral spinous processes in the head (Scharf & Price 1977: 815). Revisions of all subgenera and species of Amyrsidea, including keys for their identification, were published by Scharf & Price (1977, 1983) and Scharf & Emerson (1983, 1984).
