From host to host, and continent to continent: Two phoresy-enabled Guimaraesiella hitchhiker louse species revealed by integrative taxonomy (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera).

Medical and Veterinary Entomology
The 'core Guimaraesiella' comprise a morphologically rather homogeneous group of avian chewing lice (Phthiraptera), most of which remain undescribed.

The Goniodidae (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) of peafowl (Aves: Galliformes: Pavo), with description of a new genus

Journal of Natural History, 2023
Five species of goniodid lice are known from Asian peafowls of the genus Pavo Linnaeus, 1758: Goniodes pavonis (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of Goniodes Nitzsch, 1818; Goniodes meinertzhageni Clay, 1940; Goniocotes rectangulatus Nitzsch [in Giebel ...

Multiple Genes and the Monophyly of Ischnocera (Insecta: Phthiraptera)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2002
Whereas most traditional classifications identify Ischnocera as a major suborder of lice in the order Phthiraptera, a recent molecular study based on one gene did not recover monophyly of Ischnocera. In this study we test the monophyly of Ischnocera using sequences of portions of three different genes: two nuclear (EF1 alpha and 18S) and one ...

Review of the chewing louse fauna of the invasive common myna (Acridotheres tristis), with new records from Palestine and a redescription of Brueelia chayanh Ansari, 1955 (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Brueelia-complex).

Zootaxa, 2023
Palestine hosts a large diversity of birds, with 393 recorded species, but little data are available on the chewing lice fauna found on these birds. In this study, we surveyed the species of chewing lice found on the common myna, Acridotheres tristis ...

Chewing lice (Phthiraptera) species infesting the Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina) in Türkiye: First record of Craspedorrhynchus naevius (Giebel, 1861) (Ischnocera: Philopteridae)

Ornis Hungarica
Ornitho-parasitological studies in Türkiye began in the early 2000s, focusing on chewing lice, and have continued to increase to the present day – new studies, records, and host-parasite associations – are published each year.

Degeerielline Ischnocera (Insecta : Phthiraptera) of the Pittidae (Aves)

Oriental Insects, 1977
Abstract This paper deals with the species of Picicola, a member of the Degeeriella-complex. parasitic on birds (pittas) of the family Pittidae (order Passeriformes). It contains a redescription of one known species, descriptions of 8 new species and a key to the described species.

One new genus and three new species of the Penenirmus-complex (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) from China, with resurrection of Picophilopterus Ansari, 1947.

Zootaxa, 2022
Three new species of chewing lice of the Penenirmus-complex (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) are described and illustrated from woodpeckers (Picidae) and barbets (Megalaimidae) occurring in China.

Understanding the life history characteristics of bird lice: Amblycera versus Ischnocera

Ecological Entomology
Permanent ectoparasites, adapted to living on their hosts, face limited survival abilities and food availability off the host body. We investigated the variance in survivability and the diet type preferences between bird lice from two different groups ...

Descriptions of six new species of slender-bodied chewing lice of the Resartor-group (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Brueelia-complex).

Zootaxa, 2022
Six new species of chewing lice in the Resartor-group (Brueelia-complex) are described and illustrated. They are: Aratricerca cerata n. sp. ex Zosterops capensis Sundevall, 1850; Aratricerca macki n. sp.

Cospeciation Patterns of Two Groups of Chewing Lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera and Amblycera) Infesting Asian Songbirds (Aves: Passeriformes)

Journal of Parasitology
Cospeciation has been observed multiple times between parasites and their hosts. Here we compare the phylogeny of 2 different groups of chewing lice (Phthiraptera), one known for being host specific (Amblycera: Myrsidea) and one known for including many ...
