Seventeen previously described species of Philopterus are recognized and redescribed. Nine new species are described: clayae (type host Corvus capensis), ptilostomi (type host Ptilostomus afer), dumani (type host Pyrrhocorax graculus), cubensis (type host Corvus nasicus), urocissae (type host Urocissa caerulea), emersoni (type host Dendrocitta formosae), dalgleishi (type host Corvus tasmanicus), craigi (type host Corvus coronoides), and palmai (type host Corvus moneduloides). Philopterus cristata Malcomson and P. vagabunda Ansari are placed as new junior synonyms of P. crassipes (Burmeister). A key is provided for the identification of these 26 species.

Twelve previously described species of Columbicola are recognized and redescribed. The species Columbicola extinctus Malcomson, previously recognized only from the extinct passenger pigeon, Ectopistes migratorius (L.), is \&$\#$39;\&$\#$39;brought back\&$\#$39;\&$\#$39; from extinction by showing it to be conspecific with lice from the extant Land-tailed pigeon, Columba fasciata Say. Five new species are described: drown [type host Metriopelia melanoptera (Molina)], altamimiae [type host Metriopelia aymara (Prevost)], adamsi (type host Columba speciosa Gmelin), waggermani (type host Columbicola squamosa Bonnaterre), and waltheri [type host Geotrygon linearis (Prevost)]. Columbicola triangularis Eichler and Columbicola gymnopeliae Eichler are removed from synonymy and recognized as valid species. Columbicola pseudolipeurusque Eichler is considered a junior synonym of Columbicola passerinae (Wilson) rather than of Columbicola macrourae (Wilson). We remark on informal groupings of the species and provide a key for the identification of the 17 species recognized in this article.

We provide a comprehensive taxonomic review of Physconelloides, a genus of ischnoceran chewing lice found on pigeons and doves (Columbiformes). Thirteen previously known Physconelloides species are redescribed and 16 new synonymies are designated: P. rubripes Carriker, P. rubripes longulus Tendeiro, P. piotrowskii Tendeiro and P. auritae Tendeiro are synonyms of P. zenaidurae (McGregor); P. recurvatus Eichler, P. chocoensis Carriker and P. montana Carriker are synonyms of P. ceratoceps Ewing; P. silvestris Tendeiro is a synonym of P. perijae Carriker; P. keleri Kaddou and P. branderi Kaddou are synonyms of P. spenceri Emerson and Ward; P. wolfdietrichi Kaddou is a synonym of P. anolaimae Carriker; and Goniocotacanthus mattogrossensis Guimaraes, P. passerinae Emerson, P. eurysema pretiosa Carriker, P. talpacoti Carriker and P. picuii Tendeiro are synonyms of P, eurysema (Carriker). Three new species are also described: P. moyeri (type host Geotrygon linearis), P. johnsoni (type host Columbina passerina bahamensis), and P. robbinsi (type host Metriopelia ceciliae). A key is provided for identification of the 16 recognized species.

The genus Cotingacola currently contains 14 species and subspecies described by Carriker. A careful examination of these reveals only 6 valid taxa with 8 names placed as junior synonyms. These new synonymies are Cotingacola rupicolae colombiana, C. latigastra, C. temporalis and C. longicrucis, synomyns of C. rupicolae; C. foramina, C. graciligastra and C. tityra, synonmyms of C. tergalis; C. acuticeps, a synonym of C. dimorpha. Two new species are described from Peruvian material; C. stotzi (type host: Querula purpurata) and C. fitzpatricki (type host: Lipaugus subalaris). A key is provided for identification of the 8 species.

The genus Formicaricola, previously thought to contain 8 species, has been determined to consist of only 2: F. analoides Carriker (type host: Formicarius analis saturatus Ridgway) and F. willisi Oniki and Emerson [type host: Chamaeza campanisona (Lichtenstein)]. Six species described by Carriker are placed as junior synonyms of F. analoides: F. costaricensis (type host: Fromicarius analis umbrosus Ridgway), F. mexicana (type host: Formicarius analis moniliger Sclater), F. sanctaemartae (type host: Formicarius analis virescens Todd), F. beni [type host: Formicarius analis analis (d\&$\#$39;Orbigny and Lafresnaye)], F. colmae (type host: Formicarius colma amazonicus Hellmayr), and F. chocoana (type host: Formicarius nigricapillus destructus Hartert). Formicaricola analoides is redescribed and illustrated.

1. Data are presented comprising the first quantitative survey lice from Neotropical birds. The data were collected in the Andean foothills of south-eastern Peru using a novel scheme for quantitative sampling of ectoparasites from freshly killed hosts. 2. In total, 685 birds representing 127 species in 26 families were sampled for lice; 327 (47.7\%) birds were parasitized, with a mean intensity of 6.6 lice per bird and a mean richness of 1.1 louse species per host species. 3. The bulk of variation in louse load was among host species nested within genera, although some variation occurred at higher taxonomic levels. 4. Lice were extremely host-specific; nearly all species were restricted to a single species of host (monoxenous). 5. Thirteen metapopulations of lice (10\%) had significantly skewed sex ratios, of which four were skewed toward males, representing the first male-biased sex ratios reported for chewing lice. Thirty-four metapopulations (27\%) had significantly skewed age ratios and showed an overall bias toward adults. 6. Results are discussed in relation to current life-history theory and are compared with the findings of a recent survey of lice from temperate-zone birds. Tropical lice are neither more speciose nor more abundant than temperate-zone lice, which is consistent with the view that the environment for chewing lice is delimited by the body of the host rather than by \&$\#$39;external\&$\#$39; conditions. 7. Non-quantitative host-parasite records are reported for lice collected from an additional 75 birds representing 45 species in 20 families.
