The morphological features of three instars of nymphs and adults of Columbicola bacillus (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera) collected from Collard-dove Streptopelia decaocto were stud- ied. Present report furnishes Second instar nymph can be separated from first instar due to appearance of additional seta on pterothorax on seventh to eight adominal segments. Third instars can be distinguished from second instar due to appearance of pleural seta on abdominal segment seventh to ninth.

Abstract
The present report furnishes information on the morphological features
Coloceros species collected from Collared-dove Streptopelia decaocto in district Rampur. Three nymphal instars of Coloceros sp. can be differentiated by the number of setae pre- sent on the postero-lateral angles of pterothorax and abdominal segment six to ninth in addition to nature of sclerotization and abdominal segmentation.
