| Abstract: | Two new species of chewing lice (Philopteridae: Gyropidae) from high-elevation Peruvian rodents are described and illustrated: Gliricola cutkompi from Cuscomys ashaninka (Abrocomidae) and G. brooksae from Dactylomys peruanus (J. A. Allen) (Echimyidae) The specimen of Cuscomys ashaninka that yielded the series of G. cutkompi also was the source of the type series of the previously described Abrocomophaga emmonsae Price and Timm. This finding reconfirms that single individual caviomorph rodents may harbor two different genera of lice of the family Gyropidae. |
