We list the genera and species of chewing lice collected from birds by Helmut Sick, mainly from central Brazil, and particularly during the Roncador-Xingu Expedition, between 1943 and 1949. From the 123 samples studied, a wide variety of chewing louse genera and species were found, including 34 species as new records for Brazil, 37 species recorded from new Brazilian localities and 23 new host records. All material is deposited in the ectoparasite collection of the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de S{\~a}o Paulo.

A morphological study of six little known or undescribed species of chewing lice parasitic on cowbirds (Icteridae) is given, based on a holistic approach which includes descriptions of the pre-imaginal stages. Both sexes, the last two nymphal stages and eggs of the new species Myrsidea amblyramphidis (Amblycera: Menoponidae) are described and illustrated (type host: Amblyramphus holosericeus (Scopoli)). Also, the male with all pre-imaginal stages (including hatching organ of nymph, egg and the three nymphal stages) of Menacanthus leistidis Cicchino, 1984 from Leistes superciliaris (Bonaparte) is described for the first time and the female is redescribed; a discussion of the morphological affinities with its closest species, M. sturnellae Price, 1977 is included. Among the Ischnocera (Philopteridae s.l.), both sexes and the last pre-imaginal stages of two incompletely known species of Brueelia K{\'e}ler, 1936, B. mirabile Carriker, 1963 from Molothrus o. oryzivorus (Gmelin), and B. oxypyga (Giebel, 1874) from A. holosericeus are described. Furthermore, two new species of Brueelia, B. chopi from Gnorimopsar chopi (Vieillot), and B. paradoxa from Leistes superciliaris are described from both sexes and their last two pre-imaginal stages, and eggs.

Five new species of Mulcticola Clay et Meinertzhagen, 1938 are described and illustrated from Brazil. These new species and their hosts are: Mulcticola sicki sp. n. from the sand-coloured nighthawk, Chordeiles rupestris rupestris (Spix), Mulcticola ba- curau sp. n. from the common pauraque, Nyctidromus albicollis (Gmelin), Mulcticola tendeiroi sp. n. from the long-trained nightjar, Macropsalis forcipata (Nitzsch), Mulcticola piacentinii sp. n. from the short-tailed nighthawk, Lurocalis semitorquatus semitorquatus (Gmelin) (type-host) and L. s. nattereri (Temminck), and Mulcticola parvulus sp. n. from the little nightjar, Setopagis parvula (Gould). These species were compared primarily with Mulcticola nacunda Carriker, 1945 from the nacunda nighthawk, Chordeiles nacunda nacunda (Vieillot), which is one of the species of Mulcticola previously recorded in the Neotropical region. All the five new species described herein differ from their congeners by exclusive characters such as the shape of anterior dorsal head plate, metasternal plate, subvulvar plates in females and genitalia in males. We increased the number of species in Mulcticola to 18 in total, with seven of them now known from the Neotropics. We present the main morphological characters to distinguish Mulcticola from other species of the Philopteridae parasitising Caprimulgiformes and also compile a detailed catalogue for species included in this louse genus.

The current study describes the chewing lice community associated with seabird populations resident at the Sa ̃ o Pedro and Sa ̃ o Paulo Archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean in Pernambuco State, Brazil. Adults of three species of seabirds were captured using hand-nets for the collection of biometric data and specimens of ectoparasites. In total, 320 birds were examined (120 Sula leucogaster (Boddaert), Brown Booby; 120 Anous stolidus (L.), - Brown Noddy; and 80 Anous minutus Boie, Black Noddy) of which 95\% were infested with 8,625 chewing lice, representing eight species of the genera Actornithophilus, Austromenopon, Eidmanniella, Pectinopygus, Quadraceps, and Saemundssonia. On S. leucogaster, Pectinopygus garbei (Pesso\ˆ a \& Guimara ̃ es) was more prevalent and had a mean and median intensity of infestation signi\Þcantly greater than those recorded for Eidmanniella albescens (Piaget). On the two Noddies, the species of Actornithophilus and Quadraceps were signi\Þcantly more prevalent and abundant than Austromenopon atrofulvum (Piaget) and Saemundssonia remota Timmermann Most of the louse species had a highly aggregated distribution, with k exponent of the negative binomial distribution ranging from 0.04 to 3.06. A weak but signi\Þcant correlation was found between the abundance of chewing lice and morphometric variables (body weight, wing, beak, tail, and tarsus lengths). It is possible that high rates of infestation have a negative effect on the morphological characteristics of the hosts, including the health of the plumage. All the lice species collected{\~N} except for P. garbei (ex S. leucogaster){\~N}were reported for the \Þrst time from Brazilian populations of these seabird species.

We report the first records of chewing lice from an isolated population of the solitary tinamou (formerly known as Tinamus solitarius pernambucensis Berla, 1946) in the Pernambuco Centre of Endemism (PCE), Brazil. All louse records previously published from the solitary tinamou came from the populations south of the S\ão Francisco River, formerly known as Tinamus solitarius solitarius (Vieillot, 1819). Five known species of the family Heptapsogasteridae were identified from the northern population of this host: Heptarthrogaster grandis Carriker, 1936; Ornicholax alienus (Giebel, 1874); Pterocotes solitarius Guimar\ães \& Lane, 1937; Rhopaloceras oniscus (Nitzsch [in Giebel], 1866); and Strongylocotes wernecki Guimar\ães \& Lane, 1937. Also, the new species Heptagoniodes guimaraesi is described and illustrated from the northern population of this host, and a key for identification of all the species of Heptagoniodes Carriker, 1936 is included. The discovery of H. guimaraesi is the first Brazilian example of a bird ectoparasite represented by two different species of the same genus living on two distinct populations of the same host species. Records of eight louse species and 31 new localities from the southern population of the solitary tinamou in Brazil are given, and an updated list of all the chewing lice known from both host populations [subspecies] is included.

Two new species, Picicola serrafreirei and Picicola galbulica, are described and illustrated from specimens of lice collected from the white-eared puffbird (Nystalus chacuru (Vieillot, 1816)) and the rufous-tailed jacamar (Galbula ruficauda Cuvier, 1816) in Brazil. The morphological relationships of the two new species are discussed. P. serrafreirei is the second species of Picicola recorded from the avian family Bucconidae, while P. galbulica represents the first record from the Galbulidae.

Tinamous lice found on a new host [Crypturellus obsoletus (Temminck, 1815)] in Petr{\'o}polis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - This paper reports the encounter of five lice species on a specimen of tinamou in Petr{\'o}polis city, Rio de Janeiro state. These only two of them, Strongylocotes complantus and Kelloggia ribeiroi, had been previously told in this host species. The others species (Megapeostus petersi; Heptapsogaster mandibularis; Discocorpus microgenitalis) were reported at first time on this bird species.

In the present study ectoparasites lodger from 28 guinea pigs living in two differents counties of the Rio de Janeiro state. The guinea pigs were immobilized mechanically for ectoparasite removal. The parasite specimens collected were counted with the aid of a stereoscopic microscope and identified under light microscope. A total of 3,134mites were removed from seven guinea pigs from country side. From the 21 guinea pigs of the urban area, 1,472 mites were collected, all being the species Chirodiscoides caviae. Two hundred and sixty three chewing-lice were found on animals from urban enviromment and 567 chewing-lice from those of the rural enviromment, representing three different species: Gliricola porcelli, Gyropus ovalis and Trimenopon hispidum. The values of Parasitic Abundance and Mean Intensity of Parasitism were very close and the Prevalence in these groups was very high. It was concluded that habitat of the guinea pigs influences the parasitic load of the ectoparasites found in the present study.

Pseudomenopon pilosum is recorded for the first time in Brazil. This is a species of chewing louse that participates as an invertebrate host in the biological cycle of a bird filarid. The possibility for this transmission to be occurring in Brazil is discussed and the reports about the participation of these parasites as bioagents spreaders are summarized.
