A new bark louse genus of the tribe Thyrsophorini, namely Dipsocus gen. n., is herein described. This genus differs from the other genera of Thyrsophorini by male hypandrium divided into two parts, basal part strongly sclerotized, distal part weakly sclerotized; female pigmented area of subgenital plate roughly T-shaped, stem of T-shaped area thread-like and distally bifurcated. We also describe a new species, i.e., D. fashengi sp. n., from Guangxi, China, and provide a key to the seven Thyrsophorini genera found in China.

Paramanicapsocus xingyuei Liang sp. n. (Figs 1–25) Diagnosis. Male and female macropterous. Head bearing setae. Antennae elongate, with fifteen antennomeres. Wings hyaline, with well-developed venation. Forewing pterostigma present; R two-branched; M three-branched or two-branched; areola postica (ap) cell present, similar to pterostigma in shape.

Hindwing (Fig. 11) margin with setae, veins and membrane without setae; Sc not visible, Rs two-branched, M two-branched, CuA simple, CuP weaker than CuA; vein A bifurcate, A 1 long, A 2 very short. Legs with dense setae; every trochanter (Fig. 12) with a group of setae; tarsi (Fig. 13) three-segmented, 1 st hind tarsus with one row of ctenidiobothria; claw (Fig. 14) with a seta-shape pulvillus. Terminalia (Figs 15–18) sclerotized. Clunium simple. Epiproct and paraproct bearing setae; hypandrium simple; phallosome not visible. Measurements (in micron). Body length 2.28 (measure from frons to terminalia); f1=0.4, f2=0.55, f3=0.48; forewing length 2.50, width 0.63; hindwing length 2.00, width 0.58; ft1= 0.20 ft 2=0.05, ft3=0.07; mt1=0.20, mt2=0.07, mt3=0.08; ht1=0.50, ht2=0.09, ht3=0.07. Female (Figs 19–25). Body (Figs 19–20) and wings (Figs 21–22) similar to male. Forewing (Fig. 21) with short Sc and M two-branched. Terminalia (Figs 23–25). Clunium simple. Epiproct subtrapezoid. Subgenital plate simple, and strongly sclerotized; a pair of sclerotized regions on the sternum before subgenital plate. Gonapophyses visible, external valve broad and rounded with hook-like tip, dorsal valve curved, ventral valve with a sharp tip. Measurements (in microns). Body length 2.25 (measure from frons to terminalia); f1=0.40, f2=0.36, f3=0.36; forewing length 2.58, width 0.74; hindwing length, width 0.53; ft1=0.25, ft2=0.05, ft3=0.08; mt1=0.30, mt2=0.05, mt3=0.08; ht1=0.60, ht2=0.08, ht3=0.11. Examined material. Holotype: male, CAU-BA-LFY-23001; paratypes: male, CAU-BA-LFY-23002; female, CAU-BA-LFY-23003; female, CAU-BA-LFY-23003. Locality and horizon. Hukawng Valley, Kachin State, Northern Myanmar. Mid-Cretaceous, lowermost Cenomanian. Etymology. The new species is dedicated to Prof. Xingyue Liu for his support and contributions to the study of Psocodea from China. Remarks. This new species belongs to the genus Paramanicapsocus based on the body bearing setae, the long antenna, mx4 with a group of short sensilla on the tip, part of forewing bearing dense setae, the ap cell similar to the pterostigma in shape, the in-flight wing-coupling structure brush-shaped, the 1 st tarsomere longer than 2 nd plus 3 rd tarsomeres, 1 st hind tarsomere with one row of ctenidiobothria, and the seta-shaped pulvillus. This new species shares many diagnostic characteristics with the type species P. longiantennatus, and can be distinguished from the latter by the hindwing M two-branched. In this new species, females display similar body morphologies as males, except for the forewing M and the terminalia. The females have M two-branched on forewing, while the males have M three-branched. In some previous studies on the Psocodea from Cretaceous amber, the intraspecific variations of venation were described, i.e., Concavapsocus parallelus Wang et al., 2019 and Psyllipsocus yangi Liang & Liu, 2021. The above variations in the two species are regarded as abnormal because the venations are asymmetric on wings. Hakim et al. (2020) described an abnormality in the venation of P. longiantennatus: one of the forewings has M two-branched instead of three in the paratype NIGP169669. In the present study, we consider the variable forewing M to be normal in Paramanicapsocus xingyuei sp. n. because of the symmetric venations on wings in every individual. It seems that this characteristic is sex-linked in this new species. However, we cannot confirm it is common in the genus Paramanipsocus. More materials will be helpful to understand this phenomenon in the future. The discovery of this new species increases our knowledge of the diversity of the genus Paramanicapsocus from Cretaceous amber. This new species is the second species of Paramanicapsocus, and the fifth species of the family Manicapsocidae from Cretaceous Burmese amber.Although Paramanicapsocus is tentatively placed into the family Manicapscoidae, the placement of Manicapsocidae and the phylogenetic relationship within the infraorder Amphientometae remain controversial up to now. Future studies with more materials, including extinct and extant electrentomoids, will be helpful to better understand and resolve these problems., Published as part of Chen, Shengfu, Wang, Menglin & Liang, Feiyang, 2023, A new species of the bark louse genus Paramanicapsocus (Insecta, Psocodea, Manicapsocidae) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber, pp. 264-270 in Zootaxa 5315 (3) on pages 265-268, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5315.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/8130617, {"references":["Wang, R.

We present records of chewing lice collected from bird skins of the families Anhimidae, Threskiornithidae, and Aramidae deposited at the Museum of Zoology of University of São Paulo (MZUSP). Twenty-one chewing lice species from the suborders Amblycera and Ischnocera were identified, seven of which are new records for Brazil. These species belong to the genera Ardeicola (1), Colpocephalum (3), Ibidoecus (1), and Plegadiphilus (2). Furthermore, ten species were recorded from new localities in Brazil, and Colpocephalum cayennensisPrice & Emerson, 1967 is for the first time recorded with precise locality in the country. Lastly, the bird host subspecies Phimosus infuscatus nudifrons (Spix, 1825) (Threskiornithidae) was for the first time found to harbor lice species.

Diamphipsocus striatum (Thornton, 1984) comb. nov. = Paramphientomum striatum Thornton, 1984 (Figs 1–9) The specimens were collected from the lichens on tree trunks in the forests of Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu, India (Fig. 1) and preserved in vials with 70% ethanol. Specimens were dissected and mounted in Canada Balsam. The external morphology and colour pattern of the specimens were studied before dissection by placing the entire specimen under a stereo zoom microscope (Leica M205A) and photographed using the Leica Application Suite. The mounted body parts (head, legs, wings and genitalia) were observed, measured and photographed under a compound microscope (Leica DM3000). Abbreviations used in the descriptions and measurements are as follows: FW and HW: lengths of right fore- and hind-wings; F, T, t1, t2: lengths of femur, tibia, and tarsomeres 1 and 2 of the right hind leg, respectively, Mx4: length of the fourth segment of right maxillary palpus; ctt1: number of ctenidobothria on t1; f1...fn: lengths of flagellomeres 1...n of the right antenna; IO, D, d: respectively, the minimum distance between compound eyes, anteroposterior diameter, and transverse diameter of right compound eye, all in dorsal view of head; PO: d/D.

Description of female: (after 2 months in alcohol): Postclypeus with opaque striae; ocelli reddish brown, eyes black with 6 greenish horizontal lines; head with uniform buff brown; antennae, leg and thorax brown; forewing membrane brown, the veins 1A, 2A, Cu1 and Cu1b faint, vein M 2+3 and M 4+5 dark brown and rest of vein light brown. Hindwing membrane brown, vein dark brown except for distal Cu 2 and R 1. Head: the lateral margin of the vertex is somewhat depressed and bulged medially to some degree (Fig. 2), the maxillary palp is without a sensory cone, and the distal end of the fourth segment is rounded; the distal end of femur and tibia in the hind legs terminate with 2 and 6 strong spines, respectively. Lacinial apex with broad outer cusp, bearing three denticles (Fig. 3). Claw with double teeth (Fig. 4). Wings: forewing with Sc in the distal portion and apically rounded, hind wing vein R 1 not reaching the wing margin (Figs. 5, 6). Subgenital plate (Fig. 7): apically pointed, setose with small inner sclerite. Gonapophyses (Fig. 8): ventral valve ¾ length of dorsal valve, dorsal valve long and slender, external valve somewhat oval in shape, gonopores covered with spur-shaped sclerotization. Paraproct with a field of 9 weak trichobothria; epiproct rounded and setose (Fig. 9). Male description: kindly refer to Thornton (1984). Using published descriptions and based on the generic classification of the Amphientomidae developed by Li (2002) and Taylor (2013), we here transfer the Paramphientomum species with distal section of Sc vein to the genus Diamphipsocus., Published as part of Ramesh, Gurusamy, Babu, Rajappa & Subramanian, Kumarapuram A., 2023, First record of genus Diamphipsocus Li, 1997 (Psocodea: Amphientomidae) from India and new generic combinations of Asian psocids, pp. 96-100 in Zootaxa 5296 (1) on pages 96-100, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5296.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/7970050, {"references":["Thornton, L.

Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) bracatus new species (Figs 17–23, 40) Type host. Arborophila atrogularis (Blyth, 1849) —white-cheeked partridge. Type locality. Myanmar. Diagnosis. Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) bracatus is most similar to R. (F.) formosanus, with which it shares the following characters: frons broadly rounded (Figs 3, 19); male scape not modified except length and width compared from female (Figs 3–4, 19–20); ventral sclerite of mesosome of similar shape (Figs 6, 22); male stylus short, spatulate and distal margin of male abdomen shallowly concave (Figs 40, 42). However, these two species can be separated by the following characters: male flagellomere I expanded distally in R. (F.) formosanus (Fig. 3), but not in R. (F.) bracatus (Fig. 19); male mesosome proportionately larger and with coarser rugosity in R. (F.) formosanus (Fig. 6) than in R. (F.) bracatus (Fig. 22); lateral ends of ventral sclerite of male mesosome of different shape (Figs 6, 22); basal apodeme proportionately longer in R. (F.) bracatus (Fig. 21) than in R. (F.) formosanus (Fig, 5); lateral lobes of female vulval margin generally with more vms in R. (F.) bracatus (19–22; Fig. 23) than in R. (F.) formosanus (15–20; Fig. 8), but there is some overlap between species in this character, and females may be best separated by the shape of the lateral lobes and claspers (Figs 8, 23), as well as by head shape (Figs 2, 18). Description. Preantennal head broadly rounded (Fig. 19). Male scape longer than female (Fig. 20), slightly wider but otherwise not modified; male flagellomere I without distal extension. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 19. Lateral margins of temples rounded in male. Thoracic and abdominal segments and chaetotaxy as in Figs 17–18. Holotype male with pterothoracic chaetotaxy aberrant: left side with only 2 mms macrosetae on posterior margin, but right side with 4 mms macrosetae; we have here illustrated 4 setae; as these are broken in holotype, they are here illustrated tentatively based on comparisons with other species in the group. Paratype female with abdominal segment III aberrant on one side: much reduced in length, distal margin displaced proximally in lateral section, and spiracle opening absent. Female leg II broken off at femur on both sides, and not illustrated. Distal abdomen of male as in Fig. 40; sternal plate VII apparently separate from to subgenital plate; stylus short, spatulate; distal margin of segment XI distinctly concave, lateral corners not extended distally. Male genitalia as in Figs 21–22. Distal rugosity of mesosome fine, limited to near margin. Ventral sclerite with flat anterior margin and two visible gpmes on each side. Gonopore approaches distal margin of mesosome. Parameres broken in single examined male, and not illustrated. Female sternal plate VII without median bulge on distal margin (Fig. 23). Median bulge of vulval margin moderate, with 3–5 vss on each side; lateral lobes with 19–22 long, slender vms on each side. Lateral margin of claspers with 7–8 lateral setae on each side. Measurements as in Table 1. Type material examined. Holotype 1♁, Burma [= Myanmar], no date, coll. R. Meinertzhagen, 13341, NHMUK010682695 (NHML). Paratype 1♀, same data as holotype (NHML). Etymology. The species epithet is derived from “ bracatus ”, Latin for “wearing trousers”. This refers to the reticulation patterns of femurs II and III, which can be clearly seen in this species, more than in the other species treated here., Published as part of Gustafsson, Daniel R. & Zou, Fasheng, 2023, Species of Reticulipeurus Kéler, 1958 (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Oxylipeurus- complex) parasitic on species of Arborophila, with description of a new subgenus and three new species, pp. 496-520 in Zootaxa 5284 (3) on pages 503-504, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5284.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/7929559

Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) longistylus new species (Figs 32–39, 43) Type host. Arborophila rufogularis guttata Delacour & Jabouille, 1928 —rufous-throated partridge. Type locality. “Indochina”. Other hosts. Arborophila rufogularis subspecies (Blyth, 1849). Arborophila rufogularis intermedia (Blyth, 1855). Arborophila rufogularis tickelli (Hume, 1880). Diagnosis. Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) longistylus can be separated from the other species in the subgenus by the following combination of characters: head somewhat slender (Fig. 34); Male pedicel swollen and shortened compared to female (Figs 34–35); male flagellomere I expanded distally (Fig. 34); male mesosome narrow (Fig. 36); ventral sclerite of male genitalia with narrowly rounded anterior margin (Fig. 37); male gonopore almost reaching distal margin of mesosome (Fig. 37); male parameres of distinct shape (Fig. 38); central section of female vulval margin more prominently bulging (Fig. 39); male stylus elongated and slender, not spatulate, and postero-lateral corners of male abdominal segment XI extended slightly posteriorly (Fig. 43). Description. Preantennal head somewhat narrowed (Fig. 34). Male scape longer than female (Fig. 35), much wider but not otherwise modified; male pedicel short and stout; male flagellomere I with distal extension. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 24. Lateral margins of temples more or less parallel in male. Thoracic and abdominal segments and chaetotaxy as in Figs 32–33. Distal abdomen of male as in Fig. 43; sternal plate VII apparently fused to from subgenital plate medianly, but this is not clear in examined specimens and plates may be separate; stylus long, elongated; distal margin of segment XI sinuously concave, lateral corners slightly extended distally. Male genitalia as in Figs 36–38. Distal rugosity of mesosome somewhat coarse, extensive. Ventral sclerite with narrowly convex anterior margin and two visible gpmes on each side. Gonopore almost reaching distal margin of mesosome. Parameres broad, curved, with elongated heads; pst1 near distal end of paramere. Female sternal plate VII without median bulge on distal margin (Fig. 39). Median bulge of vulval margin narrow, prominent, with 5–7 vss on each side; lateral lobes with 19–25 long, slender vms on each side. Lateral margin of claspers with 5–8 lateral setae on each side. Specimens from different host subspecies overlap extensively in vulval chaetotaxy. Measurements as in Table 1. Type material examined.

Ex Arborophila rufogularis tickelli: 4♀, Tenasserim, Myanmar, Oct. 1897, coll. R. Meinertzhagen, 3601, NHMUK010682716 (NHML). Etymology. The species epithet is formed by “ longus ”, Latin for “long, and “ stylus ”, Latin for “stake”, referring to the relatively long stylus of this species compared to those of other members of the subgenus. Remarks. The type host subspecies has been selected based on the best preserved males, despite the lack of females from this host subspecies. The specimen on slide NHMUK010682704 has the same collection data as those of the holotype and may represent a female from the type host subspecies, but the subspecies is not explicit on the slide label. Specimens from the other two host subspecies are considered conspecific with the type series, as no significant differences have been found among them. Females are illustrated based on specimens from A. rufogularis intermedia.

Forcipurellus new subgenus Type species: Lipeurus formosanus Uchida, 1917. Diagnosis. Members of the subgenus Forcipurellus can be separated from members of the nominate subgenus by the following combination of characters [see Gustafsson et al. (2020b) for illustrations of the nominate subgenus]: male stylus subterminal in R. (Reticulipeurus), but terminal in R. (Forcipurellus) (e.g. Fig. 43); distal end of female abdomen with prominent, typically medianly curved, “claspers” in R. (Forcipurellus) (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23), but without such structures in R. (Reticulipeurus); female vulval margin in R. (Forcipurellus) with distinct lateral lobes and more or less convex median section (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23), whereas in the nominate subgenus the vulval margin is either gently concave without distinct lateral lobes and median convex section, or if lateral sections are lobe-like, then median section is not convex. In general, reticulation patterns in R. (Forcipurellus) are not as extensive as in some species of the nominate subgenus, but this varies among species in R. (Reticulipeurus). Description. Both sexes. Generally small, slender species with oblong heads (Fig. 3). Frons rounded, marginal carina uninterrupted. Internal sinuous thickenings present near frons. Dorsal preantennal suture present, reaching anterior dorsal seta. Head chaetotaxy as in nominate subgenus, except that head sensilla s1–4, s6–8 all present, and s2 is farther anterior to s1 than in nominate subgenus; mandibular seta as mesosetae. Coni small. Antennae sexually dimorphic: male scape, pedicel and flagellomere I enlarged, not in female, but degree of male modification variable among species. Pronotum with 1 pronotal marginal-lateral seta (pmls) and 1 pronotal post-spiracular seta (ppss) on each side; pronotal dorsal anterior seta (pdas) may be present as in nominate subgenus, but if present too small to see in examined specimens. Pteronotum with 1 anterior and 1 posterior submarginal meso-metanotal seta (asmns and psmns, respectively), 1 pterothoracic trichoid seta (ptrs) and 1 pterothoracic thorn-like seta (pths) on each side. Marginal mesometathoracic setae (mms) in single group of four setae on each side, widely separated medianly (Figs 1–2). Leg chaetotaxy largely as in nominate subgenus, but setae fII-d1, fII-a3, fIII-d1, and fIII-a3 more marginal, and tbII-p3 and tbIII-p3 hyaline; tI-v3 not clearly visible in examined specimens, but may be present. Abdomen slender, with tergopleurites II–VIII medianly divided and tergopleurites IX–XI fused (Figs 1–2). Central sternal plates present on segments II–VI or II–VII (males of some species), but poorly sclerotised. Abdominal chaetotaxy sparse, identical in all species. Male. Antennal scape swollen, about twice as long as female and much wider in some species, with basal modifications (e.g. Fig. 11); pedicel may be modified in shape compared to that of female (e.g. Fig. 12), but roughly similar in size; flagellomere I may be swollen or extended distally (e.g. Fig. 3), but not in all species (Fig. 19); flagellomere I may also be elongated and slightly curved (Fig, 11). Distal end of abdomen concave (e.g. Figs 40–44). Subgenital plate with terminal stylus that reaches beyond distal margin of abdomen (e.g. Figs 40–44); fusion of subgenital plate and sternal plate VII not clearly visible, and may be variable between species as illustrated here (e.g. Figs 40–44). Genitalia: Basal apodeme slender; mesosome with hooked antero-lateral extensions overlapping with basal apodeme; distal margin of mesosome rugose; ventral sclerite proportionately larger than is normal in nominate subgenus, but structurally similar, with lateral extensions bearing 1–2 gonoporal posterior mesosomal setae (gpmes) visible at sensilla on each side; gonopore elongate, not fused distally; parameres slender, with blunt or somewhat elongated heads with parameral seta 1 (pst1) as sensillus and parameral seta 2 (pst2) as microseta near apical end of paramere (e.g. Figs 5–7, 13–15). Female. Abdominal segments IX–XI fused, with distal end forming medianly curved “claspers” (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23). Anal setae divided into 1 dorsal and 2 ventro-marginal on each side. Sternal plate VII generally rectangular but may bulge distally in median section (Fig. 2); however, sternal and subgenital plates are generally poorly sclerotised and outlines are illustrated approximately. Subgenital plate with medianly divided cross-pieces on each side, following the vulval margin laterally. Vulval margin medianly convex (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23), with small number of slender vulval submarginal setae (vss); laterally; the vulval margin forms a distinct rounded lobe on each side, with numerous slender vulval marginal setae (vms) on each side. One, rarely two, short setae on each side situated between subgenital plate and vulval margin may represent the vulval oblique setae (vos). Vulval margin laterally with sclerotised cross-piece, which is not fused medianly, and may be reticulated partially. Subvulval plates not visible, but may be poorly sclerotised. Host distribution. All known species of Forcipurellus parasitise species of the genus Arborophila Hodgson, 1837 (Galliformes: Phasianidae). Geographical range. Most of the known species of Forcipurellus span the range of the host genus, from Taiwan and Sumatra to Sikkim in India. Etymology. The name Forcipurellus is constructed by “ forcipatus ” Latin for “pincer”, “ ourá ” Greek from “tail”, and ellus ” Latin for “small”. The first two words refer to the prominent claspers of the distal female abdomen, which separate all members of this subgenus from other species of Reticulipeurus, with the addition of “ ellus ” referring to the size of Forcipurellus species, generally smaller than those of the nominate subgenus., Published as part of Gustafsson, Daniel R. & Zou, Fasheng, 2023, Species of Reticulipeurus Kéler, 1958 (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Oxylipeurus- complex) parasitic on species of Arborophila, with description of a new subgenus and three new species, pp. 496-520 in Zootaxa 5284 (3) on pages 497-498, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5284.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/7929559, {"references":["Uchida, S.

Type host. Arborophila torqueola torqueola (Valenciennes, 1825) —hill partridge. Type locality. Sikkim, India. Other host. Arborophila torqueola millardi (Baker, 1921), new host record. Description. Preantennal head broadly rounded (Fig. 11). Male scape longer than female (Fig. 12), much wider and with basal section bulging; male pedicel slightly curved; male flagellomere I with distal extension. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 11. Lateral margins of temples more or less parallel in male. Thoracic and abdominal segments and chaetotaxy as in Figs 9–10. Distal abdomen of male as in Fig. 44; sternal plate VII apparently completely fused to subgenital plate; stylus short, spatulate; distal margin of segment XI slightly concave, lateral corners not extended distally. Male genitalia as in Figs 13–15. Distal rugosity of mesosome fine, extensive. Ventral sclerite with concave anterior margin and two visible gpmes on each side. Gonopore does not approach distal margin of mesosome. Parameres slender, slightly divergent distally, with somewhat rectangular heads; pst 1 in distal third of paramere. Female sternal plate VII without median bulge on distal margin (Fig. 16). Median bulge of vulval margin slight, with 3–6 vss on each side (3 in specimen from type host subspecies, 4–6 in specimens from A. t. millardi); lateral lobes with 17–25 long, slender vms on each side (apparently 17–20 in single specimen from type host subspecies, but partially obscured by gut content; 22–25 in specimens from A. t. millardi). Lateral margin of claspers with 7–9 lateral setae on each side (no difference in specimens from different host subspecies). Measurements as in Table 1. Type material examined.

Specimens from both host subspecies are very similar, but many measurements of females from the different host subspecies do not overlap; moreover, there are differences in the female genital chaetotaxy. More specimens need to be examined to establish whether these size differences fall within the range of intraspecific variation, or if populations from different host subspecies should be regarded as different species. We here tentatively include lice from both host subspecies in the same species.

Forcipurellus new subgenus Type species: Lipeurus formosanus Uchida, 1917. Diagnosis. Members of the subgenus Forcipurellus can be separated from members of the nominate subgenus by the following combination of characters [see Gustafsson et al. (2020b) for illustrations of the nominate subgenus]: male stylus subterminal in R. (Reticulipeurus), but terminal in R. (Forcipurellus) (e.g. Fig. 43); distal end of female abdomen with prominent, typically medianly curved, “claspers” in R. (Forcipurellus) (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23), but without such structures in R. (Reticulipeurus); female vulval margin in R. (Forcipurellus) with distinct lateral lobes and more or less convex median section (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23), whereas in the nominate subgenus the vulval margin is either gently concave without distinct lateral lobes and median convex section, or if lateral sections are lobe-like, then median section is not convex. In general, reticulation patterns in R. (Forcipurellus) are not as extensive as in some species of the nominate subgenus, but this varies among species in R. (Reticulipeurus). Description. Both sexes. Generally small, slender species with oblong heads (Fig. 3). Frons rounded, marginal carina uninterrupted. Internal sinuous thickenings present near frons. Dorsal preantennal suture present, reaching anterior dorsal seta. Head chaetotaxy as in nominate subgenus, except that head sensilla s1–4, s6–8 all present, and s2 is farther anterior to s1 than in nominate subgenus; mandibular seta as mesosetae. Coni small. Antennae sexually dimorphic: male scape, pedicel and flagellomere I enlarged, not in female, but degree of male modification variable among species. Pronotum with 1 pronotal marginal-lateral seta (pmls) and 1 pronotal post-spiracular seta (ppss) on each side; pronotal dorsal anterior seta (pdas) may be present as in nominate subgenus, but if present too small to see in examined specimens. Pteronotum with 1 anterior and 1 posterior submarginal meso-metanotal seta (asmns and psmns, respectively), 1 pterothoracic trichoid seta (ptrs) and 1 pterothoracic thorn-like seta (pths) on each side. Marginal mesometathoracic setae (mms) in single group of four setae on each side, widely separated medianly (Figs 1–2). Leg chaetotaxy largely as in nominate subgenus, but setae fII-d1, fII-a3, fIII-d1, and fIII-a3 more marginal, and tbII-p3 and tbIII-p3 hyaline; tI-v3 not clearly visible in examined specimens, but may be present. Abdomen slender, with tergopleurites II–VIII medianly divided and tergopleurites IX–XI fused (Figs 1–2). Central sternal plates present on segments II–VI or II–VII (males of some species), but poorly sclerotised. Abdominal chaetotaxy sparse, identical in all species. Male. Antennal scape swollen, about twice as long as female and much wider in some species, with basal modifications (e.g. Fig. 11); pedicel may be modified in shape compared to that of female (e.g. Fig. 12), but roughly similar in size; flagellomere I may be swollen or extended distally (e.g. Fig. 3), but not in all species (Fig. 19); flagellomere I may also be elongated and slightly curved (Fig, 11). Distal end of abdomen concave (e.g. Figs 40–44). Subgenital plate with terminal stylus that reaches beyond distal margin of abdomen (e.g. Figs 40–44); fusion of subgenital plate and sternal plate VII not clearly visible, and may be variable between species as illustrated here (e.g. Figs 40–44). Genitalia: Basal apodeme slender; mesosome with hooked antero-lateral extensions overlapping with basal apodeme; distal margin of mesosome rugose; ventral sclerite proportionately larger than is normal in nominate subgenus, but structurally similar, with lateral extensions bearing 1–2 gonoporal posterior mesosomal setae (gpmes) visible at sensilla on each side; gonopore elongate, not fused distally; parameres slender, with blunt or somewhat elongated heads with parameral seta 1 (pst1) as sensillus and parameral seta 2 (pst2) as microseta near apical end of paramere (e.g. Figs 5–7, 13–15). Female. Abdominal segments IX–XI fused, with distal end forming medianly curved “claspers” (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23). Anal setae divided into 1 dorsal and 2 ventro-marginal on each side. Sternal plate VII generally rectangular but may bulge distally in median section (Fig. 2); however, sternal and subgenital plates are generally poorly sclerotised and outlines are illustrated approximately. Subgenital plate with medianly divided cross-pieces on each side, following the vulval margin laterally. Vulval margin medianly convex (e.g. Figs 8, 16, 23), with small number of slender vulval submarginal setae (vss); laterally; the vulval margin forms a distinct rounded lobe on each side, with numerous slender vulval marginal setae (vms) on each side. One, rarely two, short setae on each side situated between subgenital plate and vulval margin may represent the vulval oblique setae (vos). Vulval margin laterally with sclerotised cross-piece, which is not fused medianly, and may be reticulated partially. Subvulval plates not visible, but may be poorly sclerotised. Host distribution. All known species of Forcipurellus parasitise species of the genus Arborophila Hodgson, 1837 (Galliformes: Phasianidae). Geographical range. Most of the known species of Forcipurellus span the range of the host genus, from Taiwan and Sumatra to Sikkim in India. Etymology. The name Forcipurellus is constructed by “ forcipatus ” Latin for “pincer”, “ ourá ” Greek from “tail”, and ellus ” Latin for “small”. The first two words refer to the prominent claspers of the distal female abdomen, which separate all members of this subgenus from other species of Reticulipeurus, with the addition of “ ellus ” referring to the size of Forcipurellus species, generally smaller than those of the nominate subgenus.

Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) species 1 Hosts Arborophila brunneopectus brunneopectus (Blyth, 1855) —bar-backed partridge. Arborophila brunneopectus albigula (Robinson & Kloss, 1919). Arborophila brunneopectus henrici (Oustalet, 1896). Remarks. We examined a single male and eight females from three different host subspecies. The male has a partially distorted head, and the female from the same host subspecies has a distorted abdomen. The head outline of the female from A. b. brunneopectus is similar to those of the females from the other host subspecies, indicating that they are likely conspecific. However, as the only male is poorly preserved, we prefer not to describe this species until more specimens become available. These specimens are similar to R. (F.) formosanus, but they have a more pointed preantennal head, different male genitalia shape, and larger vulval lobes with generally more setae on each side (19–23 vms). Price et al. (2003: 324) listed two species of Oxylipeurus under Arborophila brunneopectus (Blyth), i.e. “ Oxylipeurus formosanus ” and “ Oxylipeurus unicolor ” (Piaget, 1880) [now in Megalipeurus], but our material does not appear to belong to either of these species.

Damalinia muntiaca (Séguy, 1948) The detailed type locality of Damalinia muntiaca is uncertain, as Séguy (1948) wrote that the type specimens were from a captive red muntjac (Muntiacus muntjak (Zimmermann, 1780)) originally from “d’Indo-Malaise” (= Indo-Malaya). The red muntjac is distributed in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, where it has been listed as a non-endangered species by the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN 2010, 2017). Hence, it is possible that D. muntiaca occurs in Malaysia., Published as part of Kazim, Abdul-Rahman, Houssaini, Jamal, Tappe, Dennis & Heo, Chong-Chin, 2023, An annotated checklist of the chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera, Amblycera Rhynchophthirina) from domestic and wild mammals in Malaysia, pp. 40-60 in Zootaxa 5263 (1) on page 50, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5263.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/7797797, {"references":["Seguy, E.

Damalinia thompsoni (Bedford, 1936) Bedford (1936) described Damalinia thompsoni based on females collected from the Sumatran serow (Capricornis sumatraensis (Bechstein, 1799)) in Sumatra, Indonesia. Emerson (1964b) identified a male and females from the Formosan serow (Capricornis swinhoei Gray, 1862) in Taiwan as D. thompsoni, but the male from the type host was still unknown (Emerson, 1964b). Capricornis sumatraensis is distributed from the Himalayas to Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, and is listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (Phan et al. 2020). However, it is still possible that D. thompsoni will be found in Malaysia., Published as part of Kazim, Abdul-Rahman, Houssaini, Jamal, Tappe, Dennis & Heo, Chong-Chin, 2023, An annotated checklist of the chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera, Amblycera Rhynchophthirina) from domestic and wild mammals in Malaysia, pp. 40-60 in Zootaxa 5263 (1) on page 50, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5263.1.2, http://zenodo.org/record/7797797, {"references":["Bedford, G.
