Reticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) Gustafsson & Zou 2023
No full textReticulipeurus (Forcipurellus) species 3 Host. Arborophila javanica (Gmelin, 1789) —chestnut-bellied partridge. Remarks. We examined a single female, which appears to be most similar to that of R. (F.) formosanus. However, the preantennal head of this female is more broadly rounded, and the shape of the vulval margin (including the shape of the lateral lobes) appears to be different. More specimens, in particular males, are needed to elucidate the identity of the Reticulipeurus from Arborophila javanica. Lipeurus unicolor Piaget, 1880 —described from Arborophila javanica —has been placed in the genus Oxylipeurus by Clay (1938) and followed by Price et al. (2003). However, we regard it as a species of Megalipeurus following Gustafsson et al. (2020b) (see Table 2). Specimen examined. 1♀, Java [Indonesia], May 1904, coll. R.

Guimaraesiella (Malardifax) Gustafsson & Bush 2022, new subgenus
No full textMalardifax Gustafsson & Bush, new subgenus Type species: Guimaraesiella pandolura pandolura Gustafsson & Bush, 2017: 231. Diagnosis. Species in the subgenus Gu. (Malardifax) can be separated from species in the nominate subgenus by the following combination of characters: dorsal preantennal suture transversally continuous median to ads in Gu. (Malardifax) (Fig. 93), but not medianly continuous in Gu. (Guimaraesiella) [Fig. 87; in many species the suture reaches ads but does not extend medianly to this seta (e.g., Gustafsson et al. 2019b)]; distal mesosome with continuous dorsal thickening in Gu. (Malardifax) (Fig. 101), but with dorsal thickenings interrupted medianly in Gu. (Guimaraesiella) (Fig. 95); area around gonopore rugose in Gu. (Malardifax) (Fig. 102), but without any rugose area in Gu. (Guimaraesiella) (Fig. 96); aps present on female tergopleurites VI–VII in Gu. (Malardifax) (Fig. 92), but absent on all female tergopleurites in Gu. (Guimaraesiella) [Fig. 84; except possibly in Gu. haftorni (Balát, 1958), but the abdominal chaetotaxy in the single female known of this species may be aberrant (Gustafsson et al. (2019c)]; parameres broadly rounded distally in Gu. (Malardifax) (Fig. 103), but narrowing to distal point in Gu. (Guimaraesiella) (Fig. 97). In Gu. (Malardifax), the ventral sclerite of the mesosome is continuous with the ventral surface of the distal mesosome, including the area around the gonopore, without any visible interruption (e.g., Fig. 102); in most Gu. (Guimaraesiella), there is a clear distal margin of the ventral sclerite that separates it from the gonopore (e.g., Fig. 96), but this character is not consistent throughout the nominate subgenus, and is for instance not found in the type species Gu. (Gu.) papuana (Giebel, 1879) (see Gustafsson & Bush 2017: fig. 358) and Gu. (Gu.) forcipata Gustafsson et al., 2019b. Some species of Guimaraesiella have a dorsal preantennal suture similar to that of species in the subgenus Gu. (Malardifax). For instance, this character is found in Guimaraesiella myiophoneae (Clay, 1936) and many of the species known from Neotropical hosts (e.g., Cicchino 1983), but they can all be separated from species of Gu. (Guimaraesiella) by the structure of the male genitalia and other characters, and are likely not part of the nominate subgenus. However, most of these species are in need of redescription before their subgeneric placement within Guimaraesiella can be established, and should presently be considered incerta sedis within Guimaraesiella. A similar preantennal structure is also found in the subgenus Gu. (Mohoaticus) Mey, 2017, and in the tenella species-group of subgenus Gu. (Cicchinella) Gustafsson et al., 2019a. These groups can be separated from Gu. (Malardifax) by the structure of the male genitalia. Compare Figs 101–103 with those in Gustafsson & Bush (2017: fig. 369), Mey (2017: figs 98–99) and Gustafsson et al. (2019a: figs 100–102). Description. Head rounded trapezoidal, frons broadly concave, lateral margins of preantennal head concave to straight (Fig. 93). Frons hyaline, continuous with dorsal preantennal suture that reaches dsms, ads and lateral margin of head, as well as completely surrounds the dorsal preantennal plate. Marginal carina interrupted laterally and submarginally. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 93; as2 absent; mts3 only temporal macroseta. Prothorax rectangular, psps on postero-lateral corner (Fig. 91). Pterothorax roughly pentagonal, with lateral margins divergent and posterior margin rounded; mms moderately separated medianly. Meso- and metasterna not fused, each with 1 seta on each side on postero-lateral corners. Male tergopleurites II–IX+X and female tergopleurites II–VIII medianly divided (Figs 91–92); sternal plates as large central plates; accessory sternal plates absent. Male. Abdominal chaetotaxy sparse (Fig. 91). Subgenital plate trapezoidal, indented or convex laterally. Genitalia: basal apodeme rectangular, with anterior end rounded and lateral margins slightly concave (Fig. 101). Proximal mesosome roughly rectangular (Fig. 102). Ventral sclerite with elongated proximal extension approaching proximal margin of mesosome; proximal thickening present [in nominate subspecies of Gu. pandolura; see Gustafsson & Bush 2017; fig. 374) or absent (Fig. 102). Distally, ventral sclerite is not interrupted, but appears to be continuous to distal margin of mesosome (Fig. 102). Gonopore subterminal, open distally; area around gonopore densely rugose. Mesosomal chaetotaxy: 3 ames sensilla on each side antero-lateral to gonopore; 2 lpmes sensilla on each side on lateral margin, lateral or antero-lateral to gonopore. Dorsal thickening of mesosome medianly continuous around distal margin. Parameres with medianly folded heads (Fig. 103); parameral blades stout, blunt distally, not elongated; pst1 sensilla, pst2 microseta. Female. Abdominal chaetotaxy sparse (Fig. 92); aps present on tergopleurites VI–VII. Subgenital plate pentagonal, reaching to or near vulval margin, but without bulges or cross-pieces (Fig. 94). Vulval margin generally convergent or bulging medianly; few vms and many vss on each side; vos follow lateral margins of subgenital plate, with at least 1 distal vos separated from others by a distinct gap, and located near the vss. Host distribution. Members of the Campephagidae. In addition, an undescribed species has been examined from a vangid host (Gustafsson & Bush, in prep.). Geographical range: Southeast Asia. Etymology. The name of the new subgenus is derived from “ malo ”, Latin for “I prefer”, “ ardens”, Latin for “fiery”, and “ fax ”, Latin for “fireball, comet”, referring to the coloration of minivets, the hosts of most of the specimens of this group we have examined. Remarks. Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 234) listed records of lice morphologically similar to Gu. (Malardifax) pandolura from five host species besides the type host, but stated that the available specimens from these hosts were not suitable to establish whether they belonged to different species. Further examination of some of these specimens has revealed some variation in abdominal chaetotaxy and male genitalia, which may indicate that more than one taxon are involved. Here, we illustrate and briefly describe specimens of Gu. (Malardifax) from Pericrocotus ethologus laetus Mayr, 1940, and Pericrocotus roseus stanfordi Vaughan & Jones, 1913, to indicate some of the characters that differ among populations from different hosts. However, due to their close similarity, and the small number of specimens examined, we consider specimens from P. e. laetus and P. r. stanfordi as conspecific with specimens from the type host of Gu. (Ma.) pandolura. Included taxon Guimaraesiella (Malardifax) pandolura Gustafsson & Bush, 2017: 231.

Philopterus ansarii Naz, Najer & Gustafsson
No full textPhilopterus ansarii Naz, Najer & Gustafsson, nomen novum Philopterus kalkalichi Ansari, 1956e: 17, figs 30–32. Junior primary homonym. Philopterus kalkalichi Ansari, 1956e; Palma & Price 2006: 7. Philopterus kalkalichi Ansari, 1956e; Sychra et al. 2011: 53, figs 1–4, 11–14. Current status: Philopterus ansarii Naz, Najer & Gustafsson, 2020. Type host: Dicrurus macrocercus harterti Baker. Type locality: Puli Nantou hsien, Taiwan. Type material: Neotype male deposited in PIPeR, and neoparatypes in PIPeR and UMSP. Designated below. Remarks: We formally replace the invalid name “ Philopterus kalkalichi Ansari, 1956e ” with the new name, Philopterus ansarii. The ICZN (1999, Code Recommendation 60A) establishes that the same type specimen should be used for any replacement name of a junior homonym. However, equally to the type material of Brueelia kalkalichi (Ansari, 1955e), the five type specimens of Philopterus kalkalichi Ansari, 1956e are presumed lost. Therefore, we designate as the neotype: a male from Dicrurus macrocercus harterti Baker, with the following data: Puli Nantou hsien, Taiwan, Nov.–Dec. 1963 and Jan. 1964, T.C. Maa leg., deposited in PIPeR (number TMT 239), and as neoparatypes: two males, three females, with the same collecting data as the neotype, deposited in PIPeR and UMSP (numbers TMT 239, 49, 95, 11–12 and 2151). These specimens were fully described and illustrated by Sychra et al. (2011), but incorrectly named as “ Philopterus kalkalichi Ansari, 1955 ”.Published as part of Naz, Saima, Najer, Tomas & Gustafsson, Daniel R., 2020, An annotated list of the species of lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) described by Mohammad A. - R.
