Three species of the genus Brueelia K\éler, 1936 are reported from South Africa for the first time: Brueelia cyclothorax (Burmeister, 1838) ex Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758), Brueelia queleae Sychra \& Barlev [in Sychra et al.], 2010a ex Quelea quelea lathami (Smith, 1836), and Brueelia coryliventer Gustafsson \& Bush, 2015, ex Creatophora cinerea (Meuschen, 1787). In addition, two new species of Brueelia are described from South African ploceids: Brueelia oschadlei n. sp. ex Ploceus capensis (Linnaeus, 1766), and Brueelia inusta n. sp. ex Ploceus velatus tahatali Smith, 1836. Also, we discuss the \“African pied Brueelia\” species-group\—to which the two new species belong\—in particular the variation in pigmentation patterns on the subgenital plates of both sexes.

The genus Neopsittaconirmus Conci, 1942 is a host-specific genus, found on both wild and captive parrots and love birds (order Psittaciformes). Two species of this genus: N. lybartota (Ansari, 1947) and N. chandabani (Ansari, 1947) have been previously reported from the Punjab province, Pakistan. We recorded N. lybartota from Psittacula eupatria nipalensis (n = 2), Psittacula krameri borealis (n = 13), and captive Psittacula krameri krameri (n = 4) with the mean intensity of 2.0 \± 1, 2.13 \± 0.35 and 2.25 \± 0.47, respectively; the prevalence of louse infestation was 62\% in P. krameri borealis and 100\% in P. krameri krameri and P. eupatria nipalensis. From this material, we redescribed its morphological variations in taxonomic features. Records on P. eupatria nipalensis and P. krameri krameri represent new host associations for this species of louse. We also present a new record of Neopsittaconirmus vendulae from a captive cockatiel, Nymphicus hollandicua (n = 3) in Pakistan, with mean intensity of 2.6 \± 0.66. Intraspecific variability of this species is described in detail, with special reference to the male and female terminalia, and male genitalia. We aimed to update and extend the fauna of chewing lice infesting birds of Pakistan. Previous records of Neopsittaconirmus on captive parrots around the world are summarized and discussed. Despite long-standing systematic veterinary care, some Neopsittaconirmus have cosmopolitan distribution and they are able to survive and successfully reproduce in captivity with their hosts, and even colonize novel hosts

We present records of chewing lice collected from bird skins of the families Anhimidae, Threskiornithidae, and Aramidae deposited at the Museum of Zoology of University of S\ão Paulo (MZUSP). Twenty-one chewing lice species from the suborders Amblycera and Ischnocera were identified, seven of which are new records for Brazil. These species belong to the genera Ardeicola\ (1), Colpocephalum\ (3), Ibidoecus\ (1), and Plegadiphilus\ (2). Furthermore, ten species were recorded from new localities in Brazil, and Colpocephalum cayennensis Price \& Emerson, 1967 is for the first time recorded with precise locality in the country. Lastly, the bird host subspecies Phimosus infuscatus nudifrons (Spix, 1825) (Threskiornithidae) was for the first time found to harbor lice species.

Patterns of prevalence in chewing lice (Phthiraptera) on wild birds are poorly known, as are the underlying factors that influence these patterns. Here, we analyze a data set consisting of published prevalence data of lice on shorebirds, as well as new prevalence data from shorebirds examined in Australia, Canada, China, Japan, and Sweden between 2007 and 2020. In total, prevalence data from 10 genera of lice from over 110 host species were included, including all major families of shorebirds. Using a generalized linear mixed model, we examine how the prevalence of lice of different genera varies between different sets of birds, focusing on two factors associated with migration (migration length and migration route). We found that host body size does not influence prevalence of lice in the Charadriiformes for any of the four most common and widely distributed louse genera (Actornithophilus, Austromenopon, Quadraceps, and Saemundssonia). Moreover, neither of the two migration variables showed any statistically significant correlations with prevalence, except for the genus Saemundssonia in which the prevalence of lice on short-distance migrants was significantly higher than on intermediate- and long-distance migrants. We also present 15 new records of chewing lice for China and 12 for Australia.

Background: The present study was conducted to identify the lice species in birds that were struck and injured or killed by motor vehicles along the highway surrounding Lake Van, which is located between Van and Bitlis provinces in Turkey.

Methods: The bird feathers were inspected using a macroscope. The isolated lice were placed in tubes containing 70\% alcohol and were made translucent by 10\% KOH. They were then glued using Canadian balsam and identified under light microscopy.

Result: Of the 102 birds collected, 40 (40.8\%) birds were infested with at least one louse species. In infested birds, 14 individual lice from 11 species were identified. Of these, Coloceras damicorne (Nitzsch, 1866), Columbicola claviformis (Denny, 1842), Ricinus serratus (Uchida, 1926), Philopterus coarctatus (Scopoli, 1763), Upupicola upupae (Schrank, 1803) were identified in birds for the first time in Turkey.

Abstract: This study was carried out in South-eastern Algerian Oases for two years (2017 and 2018) on 300 doves consisting of two species, Streptopelia turtur arenicola L. and Streptopelia decaocto (Frivaldszky, 1838). A total of 854 ectoparasite specimens were identified. On Streptopelia decaocto, five lice species recorded for the first time in Biskra (Algeria) were detected and the population was dominated by Columbicola bacillus (82.67\% \± 3.92) followed by Coloceras piageti (22\% \± 3.35), Hohorsteilla spp (9.33\% \± 2.93), Hohorstiella modesta (8\% \± 2.66), and Bonomiella concii (3.33\% \± 3.12). Other orders such us Diptera (flies) were represented by Pseudolynchia canariensis (4.67\% \± 1.72), Ixodida (ticks) by Argas spp (20.09\% \± 1.91) and Mesostigmata (mites) by two species Dermanyssus spp (5.35\% \± 1.59) and Ornithonyssus bacoti (1.94 \± 1.28). On S. turtur, two lice species were recorded Columbicola bacillus (85.47\% \± 2.76) and Coloceras britannicum (28.67\% \± 4.07). Ticks and mites were represented, respectively, by Argas spp (13.66\% \± 2.85) and Dermanyssus spp (2 \% \± 1.18). Higher prevalence of a single infestation was observed on S. decaocto (50\%), compared with double (36.66\%), triple (9.33\%) and quadruple (1.33\%) infestations. However, the difference between single and mixed infestations on males and females was statistically significant (p \< 0.05). On the other hand, S. turtur had higher prevalence of single infestations (68.67\%), compared with double (26.67\%) and triple\  infestations (4.67\%), the difference in the prevalence of single and mixed infestation was not statistically significant (p \> 0.05). The young chicks of the two dove species were not infested.

Objectives: Little studies had been done on chewing lice of marine birds in the Middle East. Through this work, parasitic chewing lice of Brown Booby Sula leucogaster (Boddaert) in the Red Sea were recorded for the first time from Egypt.

Methods: One brown booby was examined for chewing lice in Giftun Island, Hurghada. A total of 27 specimens of lice were collected from this bird and phylogenetic analysis of species of genus Pectinopygus associated boobies has been done based on NCBI data.

Results and conclusions: Two species of marine chewing lice were identified: Eidmanniella albescens (Piaget, 1880) and Pectinopygus sulae (Rudow, 1869) ; diagnostic remarks for the two identified species, measurements, and material examined were provided through the manuscript. The final phylogenetic tree indicates the monophyletic origin of Pectinopygus spp. associated with boobies and their paraphyletic relation to other species of Pectinopygus that associated with other Suliformes. Also, independence of boobies\’ speciation from chewing louse of genus Pectinopygus speciation. The present work forms a small step in a long way of studying marine chewing lice of Egypt and a better understanding of marine birds/chewing lice interaction.

Among them, Menacanthus eurysternus was the dominant species for the House Sparrow (dominance 21.70 \%, prevalence 10.00) while B. subtilis (dominance 18.60 \%, prevalence 8.00) and B. borini (dominance 16.29 \%, prevalence 6.00) were subdominant. For the European Tree Sparrow, the dominant species were B. borini (dominance 22.07 \%, prevalence 8.00) and Ph. montani (dominance 22.07 \%, prevalence 10.6). All six chewing lice species were observed for the first time in Voronezh and the Central Black Soil Region of Russia. Three species of fleas \– Ceratophillus gallinae (Schrank, 1803), C. fringillae Walker, 1856, and C. tribulus Jordan, 1926) \– were registered. The dominant flea species was C. gallinae (for the House Sparrow, dominance was 67.13 \%,prevalence 45.00; for the Tree Sparrow, dominance was 66.47 \%, prevalence 73.33). Abundance of fleas for House Sparrow nestlings was 0.724, and 1.153 for Tree Sparrow nestlings. Parasitic flies were represented by five species: Ornithomya avicularia (Linnaeus, 1758), O. fringillina Curtis, 1836,
O. chloropus Bergroth 1901 (Hippoboscidae), Protocalliphora azurea Fll., 1817, and Trypocalliphora braueri (Hendel, 1901) (Calliphoridae). Among louse flies O. avicularia was the dominant species (for House sparrow, dominance was 85.93 \%, prevalence 53.00; for Tree Sparrow, dominance was 68.64 \%, prevalence 20.00). Larvae of P. azurea were found in 13.00 \% of House Sparrow nests and in 15.00 \% of Tree Sparrow nests. For House Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 3.42 \% with abundance 0.30, while for Tree Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 0.15 \% with abundance 2.05. Larvae of T. braueri were found in 31.00 \% of House Sparrow nests and in 40.00 \% of Tree Sparrow nests. For House Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 0.164 with abundance 0.088. For Tree Sparrow nestlings, intensity was 0.106 with abundance 0.220. Significant fluctuations of prevalence and abundance of the larvae in different years were found.

Resumo:

1. Os Açores são um arquipélago isolado de nove ilhas oceânicas, pertence à região biogeográfica da Ma- caronésia e está entre as regiões mais ricas em fungos, plantas e animais da Europa. Este capítulo destaca o que sabemos sobre os fungos, a fauna e a flora dos ha- bitats terrestres, dulçaquícolas e marinhos dos Açores.
2. Neste capítulo, são apresentadas as estimativas do número total de espécies e subespécies conhecidas actualmente nos Açores. Todos os grupos taxonómicos terrestres mais importantes foram analisados: fungos, lí- quenes, diatomáceas dulçaquícolas, briófitos (musgos, hepáticas e antocerotas), plantas vasculares (licófitas, fetos, gimnospérmicas e angiospérmicas), platelmintes (vermes), nemátodos, anelídeos (minhocas), moluscos terrestres (lesmas e caracóis), artrópodes (insectos, arac- nídeos, milípedes, etc.) e vertebrados (peixes de água doce, anfíbios, répteis, aves e mamíferos). A presente obra inclui também espécies do ambiente marinho, como as algas (macroalgas), a maioria dos filos de invertebra- dos do litoral e os vertebrados marinhos (répteis, peixes e mamíferos). As listas de espécies e subespécies (Ca- pítulos 2-15) são baseadas nos taxa identificados numa grande variedade de publicações, tendo essa informa- ção sido compilada por um vasto grupo de especialistas.
3. Actualmente, o número total de taxa (espécies e subespécies) terrestres nos Açores está estimado em cerca de 6164 (cerca de 6112 espécies). A inclusão de uma listagem exaustiva das espécies de aves não-nidi- ficantes e de uma listagem preliminar de espécies de aves potencialmente nidificantes acrescenta 325 espé- cies e subespécies ao total das espécies açorianas.
4. O número total de espécies e subespécies en- démicas terrestres dos Açores é de cerca de 452 (411 espécies). Os animais são os mais diversos em ende- mismos, com 331 taxa (Arthropoda = 266; Mollusca = 49; Vertebrata = 14; Nematoda = 2), compreendendo cerca de 73\% dos endemismos terrestres dos Açores. A percentagem de endemismo nos Mollusca (44\%) é notável. As plantas vasculares contam com 73 ende- mismos, os Fungi (incluindo os líquenes) têm 34 e, tanto as diatomáceas dulçaquícolas como os briófitos, incluem sete espécies endémicas.

5. Quando comparada com os arquipélagos vizi- nhos da Macaronésia (Madeira e Canárias), a fauna\ e flora terrestres dos Açores é caracterizada por uma menor taxa de endemismo, de apenas 7\%, contrastan- do com os cerca de 20\% para a Madeira e de 30\% para as Canárias.

6. No que diz respeito aos organismos marinhos, são listados 1883 taxa pertencentes a 16 filos. O nú- mero total de espécies e subespécies marinhas endé- micas dos Açores é de cerca de 39, a maior parte delas moluscos (29 espécies).

7. O número total de taxa terrestres e marinhos (es- pécies e subespécies) nos Açores está estimado em cer- ca de 8047. Os organismos marinhos agora listados, perfazem cerca de 23\% da biodiversidade dos Açores.
8. O número total de taxa terrestres e marinhos (es- pécies e subespécies) endémicos dos Açores está esti- mado em cerca de 491.

Abstract:

1. The Azores is a remote oceanic archipelago of nine islands which belongs to the Macaronesia biogeographical region and is among the richest regions concerning fungi, plant and animal diversity in Europe. This chapter highlights what we know about the Azorean terrestrial, freshwater and marine Fungi, Flora and Fauna.
2. In this chapter we summarize the current estimates of the total number of species and subspecies presently known to occur in the Azores. The most important terrestrial taxonomic groups were studied: Fungi, Lichens, Bacillariophyta (freshwater diatoms), Bryophyta sensu lato (mosses, liverworts and hornworts), vascular plants \– Tracheobionta, including Lycopodiophyta (quillworts), Pteridophyta (ferns), Pinophyta (gymnosperms) and Magnoliophyta (angiosperms), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Nematoda (roundworms), Annelida (earthworms), Terrestrial Mollusca (slugs and snails), Arthropoda (millipedes, centipedes, mites, spiders, insects, etc.) and Vertebrata (freshwater fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). In addition, we expand this list to the marine realm, including Algae (macroalgae), coastal invertebrates (most Phyla) and marine vertebrates (fishes, reptiles and mammals). The list of species and subspecies (Chapters 2 to 15) is based on the taxa recognized in primary published literature sources, compiled by a vast group of experts.
3.Currentlythetotalnumberofterrestrialtaxa(species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated of about 6164 (about 6112 species). The inclusion of an exhaustive listing of non breeding species and a preliminary list of potentially breeding species adds 325 species and subspecies of birds to the Azorean list of species.
4. The total number of terrestrial endemic species and/or subspecies from the Azores is about 452 (411 species). Animals are the most represented in this respect, with 331 taxa (Arthropoda = 266; Mollusca = 49; Vertebrata = 14; Nematoda = 2), that is, about 73\% of the Azorean terrestrial endemics. The percentage of endemism within Mollusca (44\%) is remarkable. Vascular plants have 73 endemic taxa, while Fungi (including Lichens) have 34, freshwater diatoms and bryophytes have seven endemic species each.

5. Compared to the other nearest Macaronesian archipelagos (Madeira and Canaries), the Azorean terrestrial fauna and flora is characterized by a lower percentage of endemism (only 7\%, which contrasts with nearly 20\% for Madeira and 30\% for the Canary islands).
6. Concerning the marine organisms, we listed about 1883 taxa belonging to 16 Phyla. The total number of marine endemic species and/or subspecies from the Azores is about 39, most of them being molluscs (29 species).
7. Currently, the total number of terrestrial and marine taxa (species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated in about 8047. The marine organisms currently listed make up about 23\% of the Azorean biodiversity.
8. Currently, the total number of terrestrial and marine endemic taxa (species and subspecies) in the Azores is estimated of about 491.

Chewing lice collected at different periods from some Philippine charadriiform birds namely, Rostratula benghalensis benghalensis (Rostratulidae), Lymnocryptes minimus, Actitis hypoleucos and Tringa totanus eurhinus (Scolopacidae) were processed for microscopic examination (cleaned in 10\% KOH solution, dehydrated in increasing grades of ethyl alcohol, cleared in oil of cloves, mounted in Canada balsam) and carefully examined for species identification. These revealed a new species of Saemundssonia herein described, illustrated and named as S. philippina from R. b. benghalensis. Two previously known species of Quadraceps, Q. quadrisetaceus and Q. birostris from R. b. benghalensis, L. minimus, A. hypoleucos and T. totanus eurhinus, respectively are redescribed and illustrated based on the present Philippine materials. Additional features of these species not given in previous literature description are provided. Saemundssonia philippina is characterized and differentiated from closely related species of the genus. The genus Saemundssonia is recorded for the first time in Rostratula b. benghalensis, a new host record for the genus. Quadraceps quadrisetaceus and Q. birostris are reported for the first time in the Philippines. The occurrence of the former species on L. minimus and A. hypoleucos, and the latter on Tringa totanus eurhinus constitute new host records for these species. \© 2018 University of the Philippines at Los Banos.

Information about parasites associated with diurnal raptors from Chile is scarce. Between 2006 and 2017, a total of 15 specimens of the Variable hawk, Geranoaetus polyosoma (Quoy \& Gaimard, 1824) were collected, 14 of them from different localities in the Biob\ío region and one specimen from the Valpara\íso region. An external examination of the plumage was made to collect ectoparasites, and necropsies were performed, focusing primarily on the gastrointestinal tract. Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) were found on five (33.3\%) of the birds corresponding to three species: 97 specimens of Degeeriella fulva (Giebel, 1874), six specimens of Colpocephalum turbinatum Denny, 1842 and nine belonging to an unidentified species of the genus Craspedorrhynchus K\éler, 1938. Endoparasites found in three (20\%) of the birds included round worms (Nematoda) of the genus Procyrnea Chabaud, 1958, and spiny-headed worms (Acanthocephala) of the genus Centrorhynchus L\ühe, 1911. The species Colpocephalum turbinatum and the genera: Craspedorrhynchus sp., Procyrnea sp. and Centrorhynchus sp. are new records for the Variable hawk.

Three species of chewing lice\—Eucolpocephalum femorale (Piaget, 1880) (Amblycera: Menoponidae), Ibidoecus plataleae (Denny, 1842) (Ischnocera: Philopteridae) and Ardeicola plataleae (Linnaeus, 1758) (Ischnocera: Philopteridae)\—are reported from the black-faced spoonbill (Platalea minor Temminck \& Schlegel, 1849) in Japan. These three louse species are new records for this host. The black-faced spoonbill is classified as a \“Critically Endangered\” species in the IUCN Red List; although its species of lice are known to infest other species of spoonbills, these lice are endangered at the population level.

Parasitism is a hostile relationship that helps greatly in the development and evolution of many creatures in their race for survival. Chewing lice of nestlings of the osprey Pandion haliaetus (L.) have been studied in Farasan Island, Saudi Arabia. All previous chewing lice records from this bird have also been reviewed. Four species of chewing lice are previously known to infest P. haliaetus. The nestlings of the osprey in Farasan were only infested by Colpocephalum turbinatum Denny, 1842. This species of chewing lice is recorded herein for the first time from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its distributional pattern is very characteristic among three different avian orders (Accipitriformes, Columbiformes, and Strigiformes). Colpocephalum turbinatum was found mainly on terrestrial birds of the order Columbiformes and it may be transferred to predatory birds in the other two orders, but the presence of this parasite on some aquatic birds of prey like osprey may indicate that the ancestors of these birds were terrestrial hunters that acquired this louse from their prey such as doves and pigeons before their transference to aquatic life. The pattern of chewing lice distribution through their host populations and habitats may reveal some important ecological and evolutionary events that happened to their hosts in the past.

The Zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata (Passeriformes: Estrildidae) is a captive bird in Sindh. They were observed for their chewing lice in captivity from different regions of Sindh. About 41 specimens of genus Brueelia K\éler (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Philopteridae) were collected from sixteen birds; mounted permanently in Canada balsam using standard methods. The specimens were compared with the different species of genus Brueelia, reported from other estrildid birds of the world. Differences were noticed in head sutures, chaetotaxy, male and female terminalia, subgenital plates and male genitalia, also in their body sclerotization, pigmentation and morphometry. On the basis of these taxonomic characters, the new species Brueelia spinosum sp.n.is proposed. This is the first report of a chewing louse from the zebra finch in the world.

Chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) are abundant ectoparasites of birds and mammals. They are adapted to life in the plumage or pelage of their hosts and virtually never leave the host during their life cycle. Most species are highly host specific. This study was carried out to determine species richness, abundance, and prevalence of chewing lice of wild forest birds in the southern region of China. Between July 2012 and June 2016, 2,210 birds (belonging to 8 orders, 45 families, and 215 species) were captured by mist nets and examined for chewing lice. In total, 622 birds of 117 species were parasitized by lice belonging to 89 species in 25 genera from 2 suborders (Amblycera and Ischnocera). Of these, 28 louse species represent new host\–louse records for China and 10 worldwide. Chewing louse prevalence varied significantly among host species. There was no evidence of a correlation between climate zones and louse prevalence, but host guild affected prevalence significantly, with insectivorous birds having the lowest prevalence. Louse prevalence was positively correlated with host body mass and bill length, but mean intensity was only correlated with host body mass. These findings contribute further knowledge of avian chewing lice.

Little information is available about the chewing lice of wild birds of Egypt, including common groups such as pigeons and doves (Columbiformes). Through this work, parasitic chewing lice of common columbiformes of Egypt were revised including new data. Three species of pigeons and doves (Streptopelia decaocto Frivaldszky 1838, Spilopelia senegalensis Linnaeus 1766 and Columba livia Gmelin 1789) were examined for chewing lice at three different localities. A total of 124 specimens of lice were collected. Nine species were identified from these samples; one species (Columbicola joudiae n. sp.) was considered a new species to science, six species were recorded from Egypt for the first time, and two species have been identified in Egypt before. Taxonomic and ecological remarks for all identified chewing lice samples are provided along with known and local hosts, measurements and material examined. Description and images of the new species are also provided.

Aims: To examine and explore chewing lice (Phthiraptera) species found in Peafowls in Pakistan. To find out more species and compare these species with previously known species of chewing lice found on Peafowls.
Study Design: The genus Goniodes Nitzsch, 1818 is specifically found on gallinaceous hosts all over the world, represented by 100 species. It is very clearly identifiable for its circumfasciate head and somehow angulated temples of the head, antennae always heteromorphic; thorax and abdomen also very peculiar in its morphology, the abdominal segment I always larger and expanded laterally. Parasitological investigation of Peafowls was undertaken to find out the chewing lice infestation in Sindh, Pakistan.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Zoology, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan. Between 2016 and 2017.

Methodology: Peafowl, Pavo cristatus L. 1758 was examined during the present study for chewing lice collection; chewing lice were processed for the permanent mount through the standard method and were studied under high magnification microscope for illustration and identification.

Results: During the examination of chewing lice, the genus Goniodes was recovered from Pavo cristatus for the first time from Sindh province, Pakistan. Out of 18 peafowls, seven were infested, contained 28 specimens of two species, G. dissimilis Denny 1842 and G. meinertzhageni Clay 1940 were isolated from Thatta, Karachi, Jamshoro, Hyderabad and Mirpur Khas districts of Sindh. Both species G. dissimilis and G. meinertzhageni were recorded first time from Pakistan, hence put on new record at country level for Indian Peafowl. A key for the identification of all Goniodes species found on the peafowl has also been presented along with their detailed morphological descriptions and morphometric features.
Conclusion: Two species of chewing lice of the genus Goniodes were collected and identified and were compared with each other to clarify their morpho-taxonomical characteristics in both species.

Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) have been examined on common wild and captive birds of Hyderabad during 2013-2015, mainly from urban areas. Chewing lice of both suborders Amblycera and Ischnocera included family Menoponidae and Philopteridae respectively were reported from different localities of Hyderabad city. It was the first chewing lice survey that has been carried out in the region, which reported eight species of Menoponidae and eleven species of Philopteridae. These species were Campanulotes compar (Burmeister, 1838), Colpocephalum turbinatum (Denny, 1842), Columbicola columbae (Linnaeus, 1758), Hohorstiella lata (Piaget, 1880) on pigeons and doves; Brueelia subtilis (Nitzsch, 1874), Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838) and Sturnidocus refractariolus (Zlotorzycka, 1964) on house sparrow; Goniodes dissimilis (Denny, 1842), Lipeurus tropicalis (Peters, 1931), Menacanthus pallidulus (Neumann, 1912), M. stramineus (Nitzsch, 1818) and Menopon gallinae (Linnaeus, 1758) on domestic fowls; Brueelia saliemi (Ansari, 1957), Colpocephalum fregili (Denny, 1842) and Myrsidea splendenticola (Klockenhoff, 1973) on house crow; Anaticola crassicornis (Scopoli, 1763) from wild goose; Brueelia nebulosa (Burmeister, 1838) and M. eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838) from common myna and bank myna; Neopsittaconirmus lybartota (Ansari, 1947) from Indian Parakeet; Degeeriella regalis (Giebel, 1866) from black kite. All were new records from Hyderabad. Bank myna was recorded as new host for M. eurysternus and black kite was reported first time harbouring Degeeriella regalis from Pakistan.

During 10 years, from 2006 to 2015, samples of parasitic lice were collected and identified from 40 species of birds and four species of mammals in the Faroe Islands, resulting in 34 new records of species and subspecies, four genera, and 20 new host-louse associations for the islands. All these data are presented in this paper. These and previously published records bring the total number of parasitic lice known from the Faroe Islands to 251 species and subspecies (239 from birds and 12 from mammals) including 13 records identified at the generic level only.

This paper reports the capture of a specimen of Musca (Byomya) conducens Walker, 1859 from Ndumo Game Reserve, South Africa, with two living lice (Linognathus sp.) attached to the legs, one to the left fore tarsus and another to the right mid tarsus. Phoresy in the Anoplura as a whole is extremely rare, and this case represents only the tenth record of phoresy of Anoplura on Diptera and only the fifth record on members of the family Muscidae. This case further represents the first recorded case of the same genus of lice being transported phoretically by more than one dipterous family, i.e., Culicidae and Muscidae. A photograph of one of the lice attached to the right mid tarsus is provided and previous records of anopluran phoresy are reviewed and discussed.

:q We list all described species and subspecies of parasitic lice from the Gal\ápagos Islands, based on literature and specimen records. A total of eight families, 47 genera, and 104 species and subspecies of parasitic lice are listed, of which 26 are new species records and eight are new genus records. Also, we report 17 new host-louse associations. The checklist includes 17 endemic species (16 from birds, one from a mammal), 79 native species and subspecies (78 from birds, one from a mammal), and eight species and subspecies (five from birds, three from mammals) introduced by human agency. Nine species assigned in error to the Gal\ápagos Islands in the literature are discussed and deleted from the fauna. For each valid species and subspecies we give information on its taxonomic history, type material, host associations, geographic distribution, biogeographical status, systematic relationships, and relevant literature references. We also give a brief summary of louse biology, and an account of the history of louse collecting, expeditions, collections, and research relating to Gal\ápagos Islands lice. We include a host-parasite list, and a list of hosts which breed in the Gal\ápagos Islands but without lice recorded from them. Also, we formally designate four lectotypes from the Kellogg Collection.

County records for avian lice are less significant than the host records themselves. Considering that most avian lice are host specific, the county records should resemble the area the host would most likely be encountered. Nonetheless, the list cited in Forrester and Spalding (2003) contains few and spotty county records. The main source of material for this publication has been the Marathon Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Marathon, Monroe Co., Florida. The center takes in specimens of about 90 species of birds per year. The following is a list of the avian lice species, hosts, and localities with collection dates. All specimens were collected by Kelly Grinter, Leslie Straub, or the author. Representative specimens are deposited in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods and/or the author\&$\#$39;s collection.
