South Texas is a highly variable region encompassing multiple habitat types and harboring a wide diversity of organisms. However, the parasite fauna in this region is poorly known, especially for avian ectoparasites such as lice. To better understand avian louse diversity and host associations in South Texas, we examined a total of 507 birds for chewing lice. Lice were morphologically identified to genus and phylogenetic analysis was performed using one mitochondrial (COI) and two nuclear (18S rRNA and EF-1α) genes. Of the birds examined, 69 (13.5%) were parasitized by lice resulting in a total of 63 host associations across 45 bird species, 29 of which were previously unrecorded. The predominant taxa encountered during this study included two of the most diverse louse genera, Myrsidea and Brueelia. Molecular analyses revealed 21 distinct genetic lineages, 17 of which are associated with novel host associations and may represent new species. This study represents the first extensive examination of avian louse host associations and relationships in Texas and reveals that there is still much to be learned about ectoparasite diversity in the New World.

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, Junín, 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.

Resumen: Perú es uno de los países con mayor diversidad de aves del mundo, con unas 1.876 especies en su territorio. Sin embargo, los estudios dedicados a piojos masticadores (Phthiraptera) de aves se limitan a un número reducido de especies. Esta información se encuentra distribuida en 87 publicaciones nacionales e internacionales. Esta lista de verificación incluye todos los registros de piojos masticadores realizados en aves silvestres y domésticas de Perú. La lista consta de 301 especies de aves en las que se registraron 266 especies de piojos masticadores. Las zonas con mayores registros fueron los departamentos de Cuzco, Junín, Lima y Madre de Dios. No se encontraron registros de aves parasitadas por piojos en siete departamentos de Perú. Tan solo el 16 % de las especies de aves de Perú cuentan con algún estudio referido a piojos, por lo que una importante proporción de aves parasitadas por los mismos permanece indocumentada.

Catalan title: Llista de verificació de polls mastegadors (Phthiraptera: Amblycera e Ischnocera) dels ocells del Perú

Resum: El Perú és un dels països amb més diversitat d’ocells del món, amb unes 1.876 espècies al seu territori. Tanmateix, els estudis dedicats a polls mastegadors (Phthiraptera) d’ocells es limiten a un nombre reduït d’espècies. Aquesta informació es troba distribuïda en 87 publicacions nacionals i internacionals. Aquesta llista de verificació inclou tots els registres de polls mastegadors portats a terme en ocells silvestres i domèstics del Perú. La llista consta de 301 espècies d’ocells en les quals es van registrar 266 espècies de polls mastegadors. Les zones amb més registres van ser els departaments de Cusco, Junín, Lima i Madre de Dios. No es van trobar registres d’ocells parasitats per polls en set departaments del Perú. Només el 16 % de les espècies d’ocells del Perú tenen algun estudi referit a polls, per la qual cosa una proporció important d’ocells parasitats per polls està indocumentada.

County records for avian lice are less significant than the host records themselves. Considering that most avian lice are host specific, the county records should resemble the area the host would most likely be encountered. Nonetheless, the list cited in Forrester and Spalding (2003) contains few and spotty county records. The main source of material for this publication has been the Marathon Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Marathon, Monroe Co., Florida. The center takes in specimens of about 90 species of birds per year. The following is a list of the avian lice species, hosts, and localities with collection dates. All specimens were collected by Kelly Grinter, Leslie Straub, or the author. Representative specimens are deposited in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods and/or the author's collection.
