Lice
Werneckia africana Kaneko, 1979
Nomenclature
-
Family: EnderleinellidaeGenus: Werneckia
Species:
Werneckia africana Kaneko, 1979
Usage:
valid
Authors:
Kaneko, 1979
Journal:
J. Med. Entomol.
Published Taxon Remarks:
The host is not known to occur in Nigeria (Rosevear, 1969; Happold, 1987; Hoffmann et al., 1993: 427) so this record from that country either represents a new locality or a misidentification of the host. We have not been able to examine the specimen from which the louse type was described. [ex. Durden, L. A., Musser, G. G. 1994. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 218: 1-90]
Reference Title:
Two new species of sucking lice (Anoplura: Hoplopleuridae) from Nigeria
Taxon Citation Remarks:
Citation information points to the most recent interpretation of the taxon name (not the original, which is absent from the sucking louse checklist).
