Two species of boopiid lice arerecorded from a wild brushtailed rock wallaby (Petrogale penicillata penicillata (Gray, 1825)) from Kawau Island, New Zealand. They are Heterodoxus ampullatus Keler, 1971 and Boopia notafusca Le Souef, 1902. These are the first identified records of marsupial lice from New Zealand, and P. penicillata penicillata is a new host record for B. notafusca. This new host record is discussed and evaluated.

Three new species an d 11 new host associations are described for the cursitans species group of the genus Strigiphilus, the only genus of Mallophaga confined to owls (Strigiformes). The new species are S. schemskei ex Bubo coromandus, S. garylarsoni ex Otus leucotis , and S. petersoni ex Ninox punctulata . This paper completes a taxonomic review of the cursitans species group and includes an updated host-parasite list. The host specificity of the group is reviewed, including features of the natural history of lice and their hosts that may have influenced the evolution of host-parasite associations. Although most members of the cursitans group are host specific, several cases of secondary transfer among ecologically related hosts are apparent. The significance of such transfers is discussed in light of attempts to employ data on host-parasite associations for host systematics.

The louse suborder Ischnocera (Phthiraptera) contains 3,060 currently described species from over 150 genera. These lice are permanent obligatory ectoparasites of a diverse selection of birds and mammals with a worldwide distribution. They have historically played a major role in the development of our ideas on coevolution, and species hosted by mammals have been used extensively as model organism for the study of cospeciation. In contrast, avian taxa comprising 90\% of ischnoceran species have been largely neglected due to a lack of data on their wider systematics. A comparative study of based on adult and instar morphology of avian lice yielded 138 characters from 56 species (51 genera), all of which are figured or discussed for the first time. A further five outgroup taxa were examined from the mammalian ischnoceran family Trichodectidae. Phylogenetic analyses of these data produced three most parsimonious cladograms, the strict consensus of which is highly resolved and broadly consistent with previous classifications. Morphological character variation is extensive, and nymphal character traits are essential to identify instances of convergent evolution in adult morphology. The role of ontogeny in the development of the major character complexes of the head and abdomen is discussed and its implications for further work on the phylogeny of avian Ischnocera is considered. Comparison with host taxonomy reveals a pattern that is broadly consistent with a hypothesis of cospeciation. However, host - parasite associations are complex and difficult to interpret due to the low sample size. The role of niche specialisation to explain the presence of multiple unrelated lineages on the same host taxon is considered.

Sixteen species of chewing lice in the genus Rallicola are recognized and described from members of the passerine subfamily Dendrocolaptinae. These include 12 previously described species and 4 new ones: R. keymerae from Dendrocolaptes picumnus, R. lyali from Xiphocolaptes major, R. harveyi from Deconychura longicauda, and R. palmai from Campylorhamphus trochilirostris. New synonymies include R. guttata and R. pyriglena, both of which are junior synonyms of R. chunchotambo, and R. certhia microgenitalia, which is a junior synonym of R. colombiana.

The genus Cotingacola currently contains 14 species and subspecies described by Carriker. A careful examination of these reveals only 6 valid taxa with 8 names placed as junior synonyms. These new synonymies are Cotingacola rupicolae colombiana, C. latigastra, C. temporalis and C. longicrucis, synomyns of C. rupicolae; C. foramina, C. graciligastra and C. tityra, synonmyms of C. tergalis; C. acuticeps, a synonym of C. dimorpha. Two new species are described from Peruvian material; C. stotzi (type host: Querula purpurata) and C. fitzpatricki (type host: Lipaugus subalaris). A key is provided for identification of the 8 species.

The louse genus Quadraceps Clay \& Meinertzhagen is represented on New Zealand endemic Charadriinae by Q. dominella Timmermann, Q. novaeseelandiae Timmermann, and Q. cedemajori Timmermann, which are parasitic on Charadrius obscurus (Gmelin), Thinornis novaeseelandiae (Gmelin), and Anarhynchus frontalis Quoy and Gaimard respectively. Charadrius bicinctus Jardine and Selby is parasitised by both Q. novaeseelandiae and Q. cedemajor. This pattern of distribution is unusual, in that two Quadraceps species are sympatric on the same host individuals, and host species that are not closely related have louse species in common. It seems probable that C. bicinctus has been secondarily colanized by two spcies of Quadraceps. One species appears to of primarily evolved on T. novaeseelandiae and the other on A. frontalis.

Four species of the genus Harrisoniella Bedford, 1929 are recognised. Two further species are placed in synonymy. These, together with their hosts are H. ferox (Giebel, 1867) (=D. irroratae K\éler, 1957 new synonymy; = H. chilensis Carriker, 1964 new synonymy) on Diomedea melanophrys melanophrys, D. m. impavida, D. irrorata, D. cauta cauta, D. c. salvini, and D. bulleri; H. densa (Kellogg, 1896) on D. albatrus and D. immutabilis; H. hopkinsi Eichler, 1952 on D. exulans exulans, D. e. chionoptera, D. epomophora epomophora, and D. e. sanfordi; H. copei Timmermann, 1969 on D. nigripes. A key and illustrations to adult males and females of the species are provided and a neotype is designated for Harrisoniella ferox(Giebel, 1867). The relationships of the host are discussed with respect to their lice; attention is drawn to the species of Diomedeidae from which no records of Harrsoniella spp. exist. A bibliography of the genus and of all species, valid and synonymised, is given.
