Abstract:

Two subgenera are recognized - Kelerimenopon for 7 species of lice from hosts in the Passeriformes and Galliformes, and Lorimenopon, n. subgen., for 4 species of lice from the Psittaciformes.These subgenera and the included species are described and illustrated. The new species include K. (K) aepypodi and K. (K) clayae (both from Aepypodius arfakianus), K. (K.) fuscirostris (from Talegalla fuscirostris), K. (L.) galertae (from Kakatoe galerita), K. (L.) geoflroyi (from Geoffroyus geoffroyi), and K. (L.) psittaculae (from Psittacula alexandri fasciata). There is 1 new synonymy, K. (K.) minus (Piaget) (=Menopon griseum Piaget).A key is given to the subgenera and species.
