A new species of sucking louse Hoplopleura villosissima n. sp. (Psocodea: Phthiraptera: Hoplopleuridae) and a new host record of the spiny rat louse Polyplax spinulosa Burmeister, 1839 (Psocodea: Phthiraptera: Polyplacidae) from the long-haired rat Rattus villosissimus Waite (Rodentia: Muridae) in Australia

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The sucking louse fauna of endemic Australian rodents has been under-studied for decades. Sixty-five species of native rodents have been recorded in Australia.

Bionomics of a Cattle Louse [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1938
IN the course of a study of the life-histories and bionomics of cattle lice, I have found that the species Solenopotes capillatus, End., hitherto considered to be rare in Great Britain, is more common than has been supposed. I found the species first on dairy shorthorn cattle (cows, heifers and calves) at the Cooper Field Research Station, Little ...

THE DESTRUCTIVE GREEN–PEA LOUSE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Canadian Entomologist, 1900
Perhaps never in the history of economic entomology has an undescribed species of insect appeared so suddenly and over such a wide area, and in such destructive numbers, as the “destructive green-pea louse,” the popular name I have given the insect herein described.
