This genus, <jats italic="">Pelecolipeurus</jats><jats bold="">gen. nov.</jats>, is separated from other members of the complex by the unique shape of the male subgenital plate and stylus, the male genitalia and other characters. The only previously-known species in the genus is <jats italic="">Lipeurus longus</jats> Piaget, 1880, which is here tentatively re-described as <jats italic="">Pelecolipeurus longus</jats> (Piaget, 1880), based on specimens from a non-type host, <jats italic="">Tragopan temminckii</jats> (Gray, 1831). In addition, we describe a new species, <jats italic="">Pelecolipeurus fujianensis</jats><jats bold="">sp. nov.</jats>, based on specimens from <jats italic="">Tragopan caboti</jats> (Gould, 1857). An overview of the distribution patterns of ischnoceran lice on galliforms is presented, which suggests that host phylogeny, host biogeography and host biotope, as well as elevation of host range, may all be important factors that have structured louse communities on landfowl. We transfer the genus <jats italic="">Afrilipeurus</jats> from the <jats italic="">Oxylipeurus</jats>-complex to the <jats italic="">Lipeurus</jats>-complex and include an emended key to the <jats italic="">Oxylipeurus</jats>-complex.</jats></p>
