Both sexes of a new species of sucking louse Hoplopleura janzeni (Phthiraptera: Hoplopleuridae) are described and illustrated from the Central American ichthyomyine swimming mouse Rheomys raptor (Rodentia: Muridae) collected in Costa Rica. The morphology of the new species is compared with that of Hoplopleura exima Johnson, the only other species of sucking louse known to parasitize an ichthyomyine rodent. Hoplopleura janzeni is unique in having posteriorly directed spurs on the first antennal segment, the fore- and midcoxae, and the hind femora of both sexes.

The ectoparasitic fauna of Nebraskan Microtus pennsylvanicus and Microtus ochrogaster was examined to determine what species were present, the relative abundance of each species, sex, and developmental stage. Four species of mites of the family Laelapidae were found. Hyperlaelaps microti, the most abundant ectoparasite collected, and Androlaelaps fahrenholzi were obtained from both species of voles. Hirstionyssus isabellinus is reported from Nebraska for the first time on the basis of three specimens taken from M. pennsylvanicus. One adult female Hirstionyssus utahensis was collected from M. ochrogaster and constitutes the first record of this mite for Nebraska and on M. ochrogaster. Dermacentor variabilis, the American dog tick, was the only tick taken during the study. Two species of fleas, Epitedia wennmani and Monopsyllus wagneri, were found on M. pennsylvanicus. The single species of louse obtained, Hoplopleura acanthopus, was collected only from M. pennsylvanicus and is herein initially reported from Nebraska.

A new subgenus, Hutiaphilus (Phthiraptera: Gyropidae), is described for five previously named species of Gliricola (G. armatus, G. capromydis, G. cubanus, G. ewingi, and G. omahonyi) and four new species (G. rabbi, with the type host Geocapromys ingrahami; and G. pinei, G. schwartzi, and G. wernecki, all with the type host Mysateles melanurus melanurus). We redescribe and illustrate the previously described species, and provide a key for the identification of these nine species. The nine species of Hutiaphilus are restricted to the caviomorph rodent family Capromyidae, the West Indian hutias. This chewing louse-host association is parallel to other louse-host associations we have documented for caviomorph rodents in that there are two (and in one case, three) species of lice on each host species and typically two even on single host individuals. Hutiaphilus is a derived clade well supported by several synapomorphic features. Its position within the genus Gliricola suggests that the family Capromyidae may be nested within what is now recognized as the Neotropical family Echimyidae.

A systematic revision of the chewing louse genus Eutrichophilus Mj\öberg was undertaken to delineate the species present and clarify their hosts and distributions. This genus has been particularly problematic in that, in some cases, two or three species have been described from the same host taxon. Furthermore, the critical type material is widely scattered in collections (some was even destroyed during World War II), and the host porcupines have not been revised. We now recognize 18 species of Eutrichophilus, all restricted to the mammalian family Erethizontidae, the New World porcupines. We redescribe the 12 previously described species that we recognize herein and describe 6 species of Eutrichophilus new to science. A key is provided for the identification of all recognized species. We found four of the older species names (E. cercolabes Mjoberg, E. minor Mjoberg, E. cordiceps Mjoberg, and E. Zobatus Ewing) to represent complexes of species, thereby accounting for the six new species: (1) the cercolabes group consists of E. cercolabes, E. andersoni, n. sp., E. australis Ewing, E. duellmani, n. sp., and E. maximus Bedford; (2) the minor group consists of E. minor, E. emersoni, n. sp., and E. claytoni, n. sp.; (3) the cordiceps group consists of E. cordiceps and E. paraguayensis, n. sp.; and (4) the lobatus group consists of E. lobatus and E. hershkovitzi, n. sp. Lectotypes are designated for E. cercolabes, E. minor, and E. cordiceps. Identities for all host species are evaluated and corrected where necessary.

A revision was undertaken of the members of the genus Geomydoecus parasitizing Plains Pocket Gophers of the Geomys bursarius complex. Prior to this revision, 5 specific and subspecific taxa of lice were recognized from Geomys bursarius. Approximately 20,000 lice were obtained and examined; these were from all described subspecies of G. bursarius and represented 590 individual hosts from 427 localities. In addition to a study of qualitative features, 28 morphological characters were quantified for both adult male and female lice. The measured or counted characters that proved useful taxonomically are reported along with their ranges, means, and standard deviations. Three programs in the BMDP series were used for the multivariate statistical analysis: principal components analysis (BMDP4M), discriminant function analysis (BMDP7M), and cluster analysis (BMDP2M). The Geomydoecus on Geomys bursarius proved to be quite variable geographically; however, there was little intrapopulation variability. This geographical variation is best represented taxonomically by recognizing 8 distinct monotypic species of lice. The previously described species, Geomydoecus geomydis, G. ewingi, G. illinoensis, and G. oklahomensis, are all recognized as valid species. A population previously described as a subspecies of G. geomydis is elevated to specific status, G. .subgeomydis, and 3 new species are described: G. heaneyi on Geomys bursarius llanensis and G. b. texensis; G. nebrathkensis on Geomys bursarius lutescens; and G. spickai on Geomys bursarius missouriensis. These 8 species of lice cluster as 2 distinct groupings: the 1st, here termed the \"northern\" group, is composed of\&$\#$39; G. geomydis, G. illinoensis, G. nebrathkensis, G. oklahomensis, and G. spickai; the 2nd, the \"southern\" group, is composed of G. ewingi, G. heaneyi, and G. subgeomydis. In no case did a single population of pocket gophers have more than 1 species of Geomydoecus parasitizing it. Two species of Geomydoecus were obtained on Long-tailed Weasels, Mustela frenata; these host records are considered primary contamination, a result of the weasel\&$\#$39;s obtaining the lice directly from pocket gophers. A key is presented to the 15 specific and subspecific taxa of Geomydoecus that parasitize pocket gophers of the genus Geomys.
