English title: Application of the linear discriminant function in identification of mynphae and imagines of Mallophaga

The communication is a summary of two papers in the press in Polskie Pismo Entomologiczne: 1) An attempt to identification of nymphal instars of biting lice (Mallophaga) using discriminant function, and 2) The applicability of the linear discriminant function to the identification of Goniocotes chrysocephalus and G. gallinae (Ischnocera: Goniodidae).

On the basis of biometrical analysis of various parts of the body in M. gallinae and E. stramineus treated with insecticide (Polwet 5) it was found that only the sizes of abdomen were differently changed in both species. The differentiation of these changes depends on the Polwet 5 concentration used and on the specific morphological features of both species.

Microorganisms were found in about 300 Mallophaga ( Menopon gallinae, Eomenacanthus stramineus , Goniocotes gallinae) and 11 host hens. The majority of isolated bacteria was determined as grampositive cocci. The microflora found on the surface of and inside the Mallophaga as well as in the samples of hen\&$\#$39;s skin did not exhibit significant qualitative differences. The internal microflora in Mallophaga appeared qualitatively a little poorer than the external. Breeding of bacteria from interior tissues of nymphs of G. gallinae seldom succeeded, although bacteria were found in all microscopical preparations. The results indicate the bacteriostatical effect of an unknown agent in the digestive system of Mallophaga, as well as the presence of microorganisms (probably specific to the insects investigated) which, however, cannot be distinguished by the usual methods.

English title: A morphometric, dependent on preparation variation of Columbicola columbae columbae (L.) (Mallophaga: Ischnocera)

The investigation were carried out with 30 males and 30 females of Columbicola columbae columbae (L.), a cosmopolitan parasite of domestic pigeons. Themeasurments of total body length and abdomen width were taken on the ether killed biting lice, treated as a control (I series of measurments). The same specimens were measured four times: after five months of preserved in 700/o ethyl
alkohol (II), maceration with 5\°/o NaOH (III), dehyration in alcohols (IV) and mounting in Canada balsam (V). The results analysed by an analysis of variancedemonstrated that the arithmetic means of measurments do not differ significantl between I and II stage of preparation. The maceration caused the narrowing of abdomen. However, after the dehydration the body length and abdomen width of mal{\k e}s and the body length of females returned to the initial dimensions. Only the difference of abdomen width in females between I and V, II and V stage of preparation was statistically different. It was stated that the metric characters of biting lice of the genus Columbicota Ewing, 1929, preserved in 700/o alkohol can be compared with the specimens mounted in Canada balsam.

Dipel (Abbott Laboratories, N. Chicago, U.S.A.) and Bacilan (PPR, Walcz, Poland), commercial preparation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, containing 16,000 IU/mg were tested in vitro on Menopon gallinae (L.) and Eomenacanthus stramineus (Nitzsch). The insects were placed in feathers, in Petri plates, and sprayed with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 4 and 10\% solutions of insecticides. Each concentration was tested on a group of 10 insects, in three replications. The viability was observed after 10, 20, 30, 60 min and then 10 times within 1 hr intervals. Dipel was effective in lower concentrations [LC50 = 2.2 (1.4-3.5)\% against E. stramineus and 2.9 (1.8-4.6) against M. gallinae]. LC50 of Bacilan were 2.9 (1.8-4.3) for E. stramineus and 3.2 (2.5-4.0)\% for M. gallinae respectively. The ingestion of microbial insecticides was proved by the presence of spores B. thuringiensis in the insects being previously exposed to indirect activity of 2.2\% Dipel and 2.9\% Bacilan. Moreover, the growth of B. thuringiensis colonies in the lice culture was observed. 3\% Dipel solution proved to be effective in killing the insects on the host, but no earlier than after the second application within 24 hr intervals.

The congruence of ranges of variation of 4 characters from 3 idio- and 1 synhostal population was examined. The arithmetic means of head width and abdomen as well as total body length of males from 2 idiohostal populations were statistically different from synhostal one. On the other hand, in the females such differences were only in the head width of idiohostal populations.

Each metrical character was characterised by the arithmetic mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. the significant differences among the means were tested by student test.

Coefficients of variation of male morphometric characters, in particular from India was far lower than females. In both sexes of European and Indian members of Amblycera (Menopon gallinae and Eomenacanthus stramineus) the ranges of variation, first of all head dimensions were nearly equal.

Discriminant analysis was used to determine the most suitable metrical characters for separating the nymphal instars within and between the following biting lice -A. p. megalosoma and U. phasiani (suborder Amblycera: Menoponoidea ) as well as L. m. maculosus and R. m. colchicus (suborder Ischnocera Lipeuridae). . It was found that dimensions of head, body length and in a few cases abdomen width were good discriminators. For the best pair of characters the equations of linear discriminant function were developed and the percentage of agreement with previous identification, based only on chaetotaxy, was estimated.

The frequency distributions of seven lice species: Amyrsidea perdicis megalosoma (Overgaard, 1943), Uchida phasiani Modrzejewska et Zlotorzycka, 1977 (suborder Amblycera), Goniocotes chrysocephalus Giebel, 1874, Zlotorzyckella colchici (Denny, 1842), Lipeurus maculosus maculosus Clay, 1938, Reticulipeurus mesopelios colchicus (Clay, 1938) and Lagopoecus colchicus Emerson, 1949 (suborder Ischnocera) parasitizing the pheasant (Phasianus colchicus L.) were characterized with various statistical parameters (mean, range, prevalence and standard deviation) together with three indices of parasite aggregation: parameter a of the negative binomial distribution, coefficient of dispersion (c.d.) as a dispersion to mean ratio (or s/x) and index of discrepancy (D of Poulin\&$\#$39;s index). A complex set of measures of aggregations confirmed the aggregated distributions of all parasite species; in all the series analysed the bird lice distributions fit the negative binomial model. Two parameters a and D of Poulin were correlated, i.e. high values of a were associated with low values of D.

The standard computer programs of numerical taxonomy: NT-SYS and TAXAL B. 1 were used. The results allowed to verify and intergrate two seperate classifications of the species of the Old and New World, both based on conventional descriptions. Controversial problems concerning taxonomic relationships between some species were discussed. The purosefulness of joining phenetic groups characterised by dimorphic mandibles in higher group amoung Ricinidae was confirmed. On the other hand, in the remaining groups with the mandibles of other type, the arrangement of groups as well as intergroup resemblances appeared to be dependent on the similariy co-efficients, grouping techniques and data sets. Pattern of host-specificity and coevolution was summerised for the phenetic group and the passerine families.}, url = {http://www.phthiraptera.info/sites/phthiraptera.info/files/0104.pdf}, author = {Lonc,Elzbieta} }
