Abstract:

A second species of Mallophaga of Labicotea [sic. = Labicotes] Keler, genus (1939) is described by the name of Labicotea kouri [sic. = Labicotes kouri] in honor to the outstanding Cuban parasitologist Pedro Kouri, who discovered this parasite on a Brazilian bird, Crax globulosa Spix (Galliform, Cracidae). The species called L. guttatus (Taschenberg, 1882) is easily distinguished from that discovered by Keler, since it has: 1 - a narrower, bell shaped head, with the post antennal region more elongated, and which corresponds to a smaller cephalic index; 2 - a narrower abdomen; 3 - apparently non-bifid tergopleural reinforcements; 4 - a quadrangular hinder extremity of the abdomen (pentagonal in L. guttatus).
