The published type hosts of the louse taxon Nirmus triangulatus alpha Kellogg, 1914 are discussed and changed based on the examination of the syntype series and syntype slide label data. A lectotype is designated from specimens whose bird host is regarded as a natural, regular host (i.e. Catharacta chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857)). Records pub- lished after the original description of N. t. alpha are listed and discussed, and the current taxonomic status of this louse is given as Quadraceps normifer alpha (Kellogg, 1914).

A new species of louse, Anatoecus singhi, is described and illustrated from specimens collected from black swans, Cygnus atratus, in New Zealand. The shape of the head places A. singhi in a group with three other species exclusively parasitic on swans (Cygnus spp.). A list of the species/subspecies of Anatoecus recorded from swans worldwide is also included.

Five species of lice are reported. In the Menoponidae, Hohorstiella lata was occasionally found, Bonomiella columbae was present in three samples, and Colpocepephalum turbinatum once only. In the Philopteridae, Columbicola columbae was very commonly found, and Companulotes bidentatus compar was the next most frequent and abundant. An earlier report in the literature of the occurance of Goniocotes gallinae on New Zealand rock pigeons is shown to be due to misdetermination, and the history of the errr is documented.

The seasonal prevalence of chewing lice (Phthiraptera) on starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) from Hampshire and Sussex was monitored for one year. Four species of lice were recovered: the menoponids Menacanthus eurysternus and Myrsidea cucullaris, and the philopterids Brueelia nebulosa and Sturnidoecus sturni. Birds most frequently harboured populations of fewer than 10 lice. Juvenile birds were particularly lousy and their louse populations showed a dramatic decline after moulting. Menoponids were the most prevalent in August and September and Philopterids in June and July. From the data obtained, it appears that the chief factors which govern the size of louse populations are host behaviour (preening), moulting and climate.
