Abstract:

A new species of chewing louse, Cummingsia izori (Mallophaga: Trimenoponidae), is described and illustrated from a Peruvian mouse-opossum, Marmosa noctivaga (Marsupialia: Didelphidae). To date C. izori is known only from two individual hosts from the type locality in Peru; however, we suspect that this species of louse will be found on M . noctivaga throughout its range in the Amazonian basin of northern Brazil, eastern Ecuador, eastern and central Peru, and northwestern Bolivia.
