We investigated the parasite fauna of Southern Lapwings (Vanellus chilensis chilensis) from the \Ñuble Province, Chile, between March 2004 and March 2006. We analized a total of 36 samples from animals dead from different causes. Among them, 86.1 \% of lapwingswere positive to lice Phthiraptera (72.2 \% had Actornithophilus gracilis, 63.9 \% had Quadraceps guimaraesi and 25 \% had Austromenopon aegialitidis). Regarding the populations of Phthiraptera, A. gracilis represented the 40.6 \% of the total, Q. guimaraesi the 35 \% and aegialitidis the 24.3 \%. Regarding helminths, 2.8 \% of the birds were positive with the nematode Dispharynx nasuta, 5.6 \% were positive with the acanthocephalan Plagiorhynchus sp.; the cestode Infula sp. was identified in 38.9 \% of the birds.

In communication I published in \> No. 6, 1967 as well as in communicaiton II the data are presented on the fauna of snipe Mallophaga which were found in 1963-1966 on the left-bank steppe zone of the Ukraine. 339 speciments of 27 snipe species were investigated, 8 of them nesting in the steppe and 19 - flying by. 68 species of Mallophaga were found to be the specific parasites of the snipe order (24 species of Amblycera and 44 species of Ischnocera). Extensiveness of the snipe infection with Mallophga is 89.9 p/c/, an average intensity of infection is 25.3 of specimens. 41 species of Mallophaga out of 68 found in the steppe are new for the Ukrainian fauna and 19 species are registrated for the first time in the USSR fauna (of Amblycera suborder -- Actornithophilus bicolor, A. paludosus, A. sedes, Austromenopon aegialitidis, A. haematopi, A. himantopi, A. spenseri; of Ischnocera suborder -- Cirropthirius recurvirostrae, Lunaceps actophilus, L. falcinellus, L. incoenis, Auadraceps assimilis macrocephalus, Q. charadrii hospes, Q. fissus, Saemundssonia conica, S. kratochvilli, S. scolopacispaeopodis platygaster, S. tringae). For the Northern area of the Black Sea the data on the fauna of Mallophaga of snipes are published for the first time.

Ciconiphilus decimfasciatus minor (Piag.) from Bubulcus ibis is recognized a valid subspecies. Pseudocolopocephalum doriabagla Ansari from Oriental Bubulcus ibis coromandus is regarded now as a junior synonym (syn. n.) of C. d. minor (Piag.). Austromenopon aegialitidis (Durr.) is recorded for the first time from the Afrotropical Region and from Stephanibyx coronatus. Actornithophilus hoplopteri (Mj\öb.) and Cypseloecus excisus are recorded for the first time from Anitibyx armatus and Hirundo spilodera, respectively. An unknown louse of the subfamily Brueeliinae was collected from Spreo bicolor. Occurrence of the following lice species in the Afrotropical Region has been confirmed: Dennyus conarxi B\ütt. from Tachymarptis melba, Colimenopon sp. from Urocolius indicus, Plegadiphilus threskiornis Bedl. from Threskiornis aethiopicus, Actornithophilus crinitus Clay from Stephanibyx coronatus, Saemundssonia africana Timm. from S. coronatus, Quadraceps kilimandjarensis (Kell.) from S. coronatus, Q. chorleyi Timm. from Antibyx armatus, Q. princeps Timm. from Rhinoptils aftricanus hartingi and Oedicnemiceps sp. from Burhinus capensis. Biometric data of parasites are presented.
