Abstract: | A new species of louse, Anatoecus singhi, is described and illustrated from specimens collected from black swans, Cygnus atratus, in New Zealand. The shape of the head places A. singhi in a group with three other species exclusively parasitic on swans (Cygnus spp.). A list of the species/subspecies of Anatoecus recorded from swans worldwide is also included. |
