Four genera and at least fifty species of chewing lice have been recorded infesting hummingbirds (Trochilidae). Here, we record for the first time, the genus Trochiliphagus in Brazil, as well as, a new host record for Trochiliphagus mellivorus Carriker, the fork-tailed woodnymph, Thalurania furcata.

We documented the presence/absence of the eggs of Trochiloecetes, Trochiliphagus, and Leremenopon lice on over 50,000 hummingbird specimens (representing 348 species plus 247 additional subspecies) in four museums in the USA. (i) We provide sample estimates of infestation prevalence. (ii) Sample estimates of parasite genus richness increased with increasing host sample size. (iii) Host body mass did not correlate with parasite genus richness, even when controlled for sample size effects. (iv) The prevalence of Trochiliphagus and Trochiloecetes infestations did not correlate with host body mass, while the prevalence of Leremenopon exhibited a marginally significant positive correlation with host body mass. (v) The prevalence of Trochiliphagus and Leremenopon infestations correlated strongly and positively across host taxa (i.e., species or subspecies). (vi) The co-occurrence of Trochiliphagus and Trochiloecetes within the few largest host samples\—i.e., within particular host taxa\—was significantly more frequent than expected by chance. This latter association might indicate a true ecological relationship or, alternatively, might have emerged as an artifact of our sampling method. (vii) We found no relationship between host sexual size dimorphism and the prevalence of any of the three louse genera, contrary to the interspecific prediction of the Hamilton\–Zuk hypothesis.

De acuerdo a las caracter\ísticas de distribuci\ón espacialmente fragmentada de los par\ásitos en sus hospedadores, se ha observado algunos patrones recurrentes: (i) la amplitud de nicho de un par\ásito, en t\érminos de especificidad hospedadora, refleja su posici\ón exacta y su papel en la bi\ósfera, y determina la probabilidad que tenga \éxito en invadir un nuevo h\ábitat o adaptarse a nuevos hospedadores; (ii) el gregarismo responde a una situaci\ón donde un peque\ño n\úmero de hospedadores concentra la mayor\ía de los par\ásitos, y los niveles intermedios del gregarismo parasitario pueden haber sido favorecidos por la selecci\ón natural; y (iii) la distribuci\ón parasitaria espacial puede estar influenciada por interacciones de los par\ásitos con condiciones ambientales, donde los hospedadores representan \“parches\” favorables para el crecimiento y reproducci\ón, as\í tambi\én las regiones h\úmedas presentan mayores prevalencias y abundancias parasitarias, que las regiones \áridas, incluso a trav\és de la distribuci\ón geogr\áfica de sus hospedadores.

English title: Characterizing ecological patterns in parasite structure: ecoregional and host influence, in a model Phthiraptera-Aves from North of Chile

Abstract: According to the characteristics of spatially fragmented distribution of parasites in their hosts has been observed some recurring patterns: (i) the niche amplitude of a parasite, in terms of host specificity reflects its exact position and role in the biosphere, and determines the probability to success to invade a new habitat or adapt to new hosts; (ii) the aggregation responds to a situation where a small number of hosts concentrate most parasites, and intermediate levels of parasitic aggregated may have been favored by natural selection; and (iii) the parasitic spatial distribution can be influenced by interactions of parasites with environmental conditions where hosts represent favorable \"patches\" for the growth and reproduction, in this way humid regions have higher parasite prevalence and abundance, than arid regions, even across the geographical distribution of their hosts. Parasites are very convenient models for the study of patterns of stability and variability of ecological parameters of a species. The main objective of this study was to assess whether levels of parasitism of lice in their avian hosts and geographic area, are congruent: (i) to the pattern of ecological niche breadth of this particular parasite taxa; (ii) to the universal pattern of parasitic aggregated; and (iii) to a parasitic spatial specificity to characterize aspects of the structure of the abundance and distribution parasitic of the a Phthiraptera-birds model in northern Chile. This study was conducted between 2010-2012, performing collections in 14 localities in six ecoregions within the territory of northern Chile. They were evaluated 923 birds, including three orders (Apodiformes-Caprimulgiformes, Columbiformes, and Passeriformes), characterized in this study the existence of ecological patterns: (i) particular to parasitic taxa in this geography: moderate to low specificity of ecological niche of Amblycera lice, and high specificity of ecological niche of Ischnocera lice; (ii) universals: Amblycera and Ischnocera aggregated distribution, and most parasitic dispersion produces less aggregation in Amblycera and Ischnocera); and (iii) to this particular geography: ecoregional specificity of Phthiraptera, and variability in parasite abundance of Ischnocera.

Peru is one of the countries with the highest diversity of birds worldwide, having about 1,876 species in its territory. However, studies focused on chewing lice (Phthiraptera) have been carried out on only a minority of bird species. The available data are distributed in 87 publications in the national and international literature. In this checklist we summarize all the records to date of chewing lice on wild and domestic birds in Peru. Among the 301 species of birds studied, 266 species of chewing lice were recorded. The localities with the highest records were the Departments of Cusco, Jun\ín, Lima and Madre de Dios. No records of birds parasitized by these lice have been found in seven departments of Peru. Studies related to lice have only been reported in 16 \% of bird species in the country, indicating that research concerning chewing lice has not yet been performed for the the majority of birds in Peru.

Peru has a great diversity of birds, having more than 1870 species in its territory. However, studies on chewing lice (Phthiraptera) in birds from Peru are still limited. The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of the diversity of lice in birds of Peru. The material used comes from the Zoological Collection of the Natural History Museum of the Universidad Nacional Federico Villarreal, Lima, Peru. Ten species of lice distributed in three families were identified: three species of the Menoponidae family, five species of Philopteridae and two species of Ricinidae collected from seven species of birds. This work records for the first time Hohorstiella lata Piaget, 1880, Quadraceps eugrammicus (Burmeister, 1838), Trochiloecetes illumani Carriker, 1960 and Ricinus frenatus Burmeister, 1838 in Peru; likewise, four new hosts of the order Passeriformes are registered for Mayriphilopterus ernsti Mey, 2004, Threnetes leucurus (Linnaeus, 1766) as a new host for T. illumani and two new hosts for R. frenatus; Larus belcheri Vigors, 1829 is also reported as a new host for Quadraceps eugrammicus (Burmeister, 1838) and Austromenopon transversum Denny, 1842.

RESUMEN

Per\ú es parte del Convenio sobre Diversidad Biol\ógica desde el a\ño 1992, y aun nuestra capacidad de cumplir con los compromisos es insuficiente, basta con revisar el \último informe nacional sobre aplicaci\ón del convenio en el cual se manifiesta que la base de datos del estado o situaci\ón de nuestra biodiversidad es limitada. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente estudio, en el \Área de Conservaci\ón Privada Panguana, en el departamento de Hu\ánuco, fue identificar las especies del filo Arthropoda que parasitan a las aves de dicho territorio. Entre marzo y abril de 2017 se capturaron 81 aves pertenecientes a cinco \órdenes, once familias y treintaiuna especies, ninguna de las cuales estuvo incluida en el libro rojo de aves amenazadas en el Per\ú. El porcentaje de especies correspondiente al Orden Passeriformes fue 77.4\% (24/31), siendo este el mayor de todas las aves capturadas. El total de aves infestadas fue 72.8\% (59/81), y los par\ásitos hallados pertenec\ían a las ordenes
Phthiraptera, Astigmata, Mesostigmata e Ixodida. Los ectopar\ásitos comunes a la mayor\ía de las aves pertenec\ían a piojos de los g\éneros Trochiloecotes y Trochiliphagus; \ácaros de los g\éneros Amerodectes y Proctophyllodes; y garrapata del genero Amblyomma. Por otro lado, los menos comunes fueron \ácaros de los g\éneros Paralgopsis, Andralaelaps y Dermanyssus; y piojos de los g\éneros Philopterus, Ricinus y Penenirmus. La aparente resiliencia debida a la baja especificidad parasito-hospedero podr\ía ser una ventaja en las condiciones del \Área de Conservaci\ón Privada Panguana, un supuesto que la biolog\ía molecular tendr\ía que resolver.

English title:\ Diversity of species of the phylum arthropoda in birds of the Panguana Private Conservation Area, Hu\ánuco, Peru

Abstract

Peru is part of the Convention on Biological Diversity since 1992, and even our capacity to comply with the commitments is insufficient, it is enough to review the last national report on application of the agreement in which it is stated that the database of the state or situation of our biodiversity is limited. Therefore, the objective of the present study, in the Private Conservation Area Panguana, in the department of Hu\ánuco, was to identify the species of the phylum Arthropod that parasitize the birds of said territory. Between March and April 2017, eighty one birds belonging to five orders, eleven families and thirty one species were captured, none of which was included in the red book of threatened birds in Peru. The percentage of species corresponding to the Passeriformes Order was 77.4\% (24/31), this being the highest of all the birds captured. The total infested birds were 72.8\% (59/81), and the parasites found belonged to the orders Phthiraptera, Astigmata, Mesostigmata and Ixodida. The ectoparasites common to most of the birds belonged to lice of the genera Trochiloecotes and Trochiliphagus; mites of the genera Amerodectes and Proctophyllodes; and tick of the Amblyomma genus. On the other hand, the least common were mites of the genera Paralgopsis, Andralaelaps and Dermanyssus; and lice of the genera Philopterus, Ricinus and Penenirmus. The apparent resilience due to low parasite-host specificity could be an advantage in the conditions of the Panguana Private Conservation Area, an assumption that molecular biology would have to resolve. Key words: Neotropical forest, wild birds, arthropods.

Abstract: Gastrointestinal and external parasites from 12 Green\–backed Firecrown (Sephanoides sephaniodes) \ were collected between January 2004 and December 2008 from the Biob\ío Region south\–central Chile and Santiago (central Chile). Helminths collected included 1 trematode species (Mosesia sp.) and 1\ cestode species (Hymenolepis trinidadensis). The mite Proctophyllodes huitzilopchtlii was the only\ ectoparasite species found. All these parasites represent new records for Chile and the first parasites reported for this host species.

Thirty-four species of humming-birds have been investigated since 1989 in the widely deforested Atlantic Forest of Brasil, in a long-term banding project. Representatives of four genera of lice (Phthiraptera) have been collected: Trochiliphagus, Trochiloecetes, Menacanthus and Myrsidea.

Two forms of the Ricinidae (Mallophaga, Phthiraptera) that live on Trochilidae have independently developed piercing mouthparts. The one (Trochiloecetes) is obviously an ancient inhabitant of hummingbirds, whereas the other has settled these birds rather recently. Carriker (1960) established a new genus \“Trochiliphagus\” for the second one. It is demonstrated that these lice belong to Ricinus de Geer, 1778, a genus with normal biting mouthparts which is widespread on Passeriformes. Trochiliphagus Carriker, 1960 is placed as a junior synonym of Ricinus and all species described till now should be named Ricinus jimenezi. Within Ricinus these hummingbird-dwelling lice are best placed in the dolichocephalus species-group. Obviously mouthparts have a high plasticity and are not good for diagnostic characters.

A new species is described, Trochiloecetes aureoventridis, parasitic on the green hummingbird, Chlorostilbon aureoventris lucidus (Shaw). A detailed study of the chorionic external morphology of the eggs of T. aureoventridis sp. nov. and T. sp. (ex Hylocharis chrysura (Shaw), cementation and egg-laying sites is given. These eggs are compared with those of T. cubanensis Mey, 1982 (ex Mellisuga helenae (Lembeye) and T. sp. (ex Chlorostilbon ricardii ricardii (Gervais), the only ones so far known. The \"hatching-organ\" T. aureoventridis sp. nov. is also described.
