Type material. Female holotype (DNA voucher Mysp.Anvar.5.1.2006.4), ex Anabacerthia variegaticeps, JMD 780 FMNH # 410612, Panama: Fortuna, 25 February 2006, K.P. Johnson coll. Paratype: 1 male, same data as holotype. Remarks. The female of M. waterstoni n. sp. can be easily distinguished from other species of Myrsidea found on furnariids (e.g. M. strobilisternata, M. calvi Sychra, 2007, and M. ochrolaemi) by the presence of a detached plate on tergite III. In the male, the most distinctive morphological character is the chaetotaxy of tergites VII–VIII (see Figs. 15–17). Etymology. This species is named after James Waterston (1879–1930), in honor of his description of the genus Myrsidea.Published as part of Valim, Michel P., Price, Roger D. & Johnson, Kevin P., 2011, New host records and descriptions of five new species of Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) from passerine birds (Aves: Passeriformes), pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 3097 on pages 7-8, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20262
Picicola galbulica Valim & Linardi 2006, new species
No full textPicicola galbulica Valim & Linardi, new species (Figs. 9–16) Type host: Galbula ruficauda Cuvier, 1816 —rufoustailed jacamar (Piciformes: Galbulidae) This new species is assigned to the snodgrassi speciesgroup as established by Dalgleish (1969), by having: conspicuous pleural thickenings with well marked reentrant heads, head smoothly rounded anteriorly, and male genitalia with three sensilla on each dorsal endomeral arm. However, unlike other members of the snodgrassi speciesgroup, the marginal carina is not different in its sclerotization. Male and Female. General aspect of body slender (Figs. 9 and 11). Head (Figs. 10 and 12) rounded anteriorly. Pleural thickenings conspicuous with well marked reentrant heads. Tergites II–VII of male and female entire and moderately sclerotised, entire, and without anterior median notch. Two anterior setae on tergite II. Sternites II–VI moderately visible. Pleural setae present on pleurites IV–VIII. Postspiracular setae present on III–VII. Abdomen slender (Length/Width index 2.16, male, and 2.19, female). Male (Fig. 9). Male genitalia as in Fig. 13, with three sensilla on each dorsal endomeral arm (Fig. 14) and genital plate as in Fig. 15. Tergal central setae (except postespiracular setae): 2 on II–VI; 4 on VII–VIII. Sternal setae: 2 on sternites II–VI. Measurements: HL, 0.42–0.44 (0.43); TW, 0.34–0.36 (0.35); CI, 1.22–1.24 (1.23); POL, 0.10–0.12 (0.11); POW, 0.21–0.22 (0.22); PEL, 0.13–0.14 (0.14); PEW, 0.30 (0.30); AL, 0.90–0.98 (0.93); AW, 0.39–0.44 (0.43); GL, 0.20–0.22 (0.22); TL, 1.53–1.65 (1.58). Female (Fig. 11). Vulvar chaetotaxy with 16 setae (mean—6–9 on each side). Subgenital plate and vulvar region as in Fig. 16. Tergal central setae (except post spiracular setae): 2 on II–VI; 4 on VII–VIII. Two sternal setae on sternites II–VI. Measurements: HL, 0.44–0.47 (0.45); TW, 0.35–0.40 (0.38); CI, 1.18–1.26 (1.18); POL, 0.11–0.13 (0.12); POW, 0.22–0.24 (0.23); PEL, 0.13–0.16 (0.143); PEW, 0.31–0.44 (0.34); AL, 0.96–1.13 (1.05); AW, 0.44–0.51 (0.48); TL, 1.61–1.84 (1.75). Type material: male holotype, ex Galbula ruficauda, BRAZIL: Brasília, Distrito Federal, Fazenda Água Limpa (15º 57’S, 47º 56’W), 0 7 Oct. 2002, G52340, coll. Mieko Kanegae. Paratypes: 2 males and 6 females, 0 7 Oct. 2002, G 52339, coll. Mieko Kanegae, from same type locality and same type host as the holotype. Holotype and 10 paratypes are deposited in the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz Entomological Collection/FIOCRUZ (IOCC). Additional male and female paratypes are deposited in the Collection of Ectoparasites of the Departamento de Parasitologia / ICBUFMG . Taxonomic remarks: The new species closely resembles Picicola striata, differing from it by chaetotaxy and morphometric characters. The four tergocentral setae on tergite VII of the males, the genitalia length (slightly longer in P. striata), and details of the endomeral plate in the male genitalia allow separation of P. galbulica sp. n. from P. striata. In P. galbulica sp. n., the female genital chamber is more conspicuous than in P. striata. Etymology: The specific name galbulica is derived from the generic name of the type host. Discussion: The previous record of chewing lice from the whiteeared puffbird (Nystalus chacuru) is by Oniki (1999: 188; as Bucco chacuru) from two birds captured in Mato Grosso, Brazil, and by Johnson et al. (2002) from same species bird in Bolivia, both as Picicola sp. However, Price et a l. (2003) did not list these record because their checklist only includes published records of louse species, not genera. Picicola serrafreirei sp. n. is the second species of Picicola known from members of the family Bucconidae. The only record of a chewing louse from the rufoustailed jacamar is Menacanthus caudatus (Giebel, 1876) (Menoponidae), listed as a doubtful species by Price and Emerson (1975) because its original description is inadequate and no type specimens, or material from the type host, were available to them. However, Price et al. (2003) have retained the validity of the species. Oniki (1999) found one specimen of Picicola sp. from the rufoustailed jacamar in Mato Grosso State (Brazil) but she did not identify it further. Picicola galbulica sp. n. is the first species of Picicola recorded from any species of the family Galbulidae. These morphological similarities among the species P. serrafreirei sp. n., P. galbulica sp. n., and P. striata are in accordance with the phylogenetic proposal of Johnson et al. (2002) using molecular data. Both studies show that species of Picicola on jacamars are closely related to the species on puffbirds.

Genital sac sclerite as in Fig. 35, rounded apically, without lateral projections. Dimensions: TW, 0.39; HL, 0.26; PW, 0.23–0.24; PSPL, 0.09; MW, 0.32–0.33; MSPL, 0.12; AWIV, 0.40–0.41; GL, 0.35–0.36; GSL, 0.09–0.10; TL, 1.07–1.09. Type material. Holotype female, ex Glyphorynchus spirurus, Costa Rica: San Jose, Tinamaste, 12 km SW San Isidro de El General, 1 February 2000, R.C. Dalgleish, Fisher & JS # 3078. Paratypes: 2 males and 2 females, same data as holotype. One pair of paratypes at MZUSP. Additional material. 1 male and 1 nymph, ex G. spirurus, # 1103, PERU: Madre de Dios, Cerro de Pantiacolla, elev. 680 m, 16 November 1985, D.H. Clayton coll., at FMNH; 1 nymph, ex G. s p i r u r u s, same data except 9 November 1985, at FMNH. Remarks. Myrsidea dalgleishi n. sp. can be easily distinguished from M. souleyetii Sychra, 2007 (Figs. 22, 23) by its smaller measurements and by the length of postspiracular setae on VII in both sexes (long in M. souleyetii). Males can be distinguished by sternite VII with reduced number of setae (20 setae in M. souleyetii), curvature of parameres (strongly curved in M. souleyetii), and the distinct male genital sclerites. This new species was previously found by Sychra et al. (2007) on G. s p i r u r u s also in Costa Rica, but it was regarded as “ Myrsidea sp. 2 ” after the examination and description of only one female specimen. The color pattern described by those authors is also present in our specimens of M. dalgleishi n. sp. (see Figs. 28, 29). Etymology. This species is named after Robert C. Dalgleish (1940–2009) in recognition of his contributions to the taxonomy of lice, especially his efforts in studying the genus Myrsidea.Published as part of Valim, Michel P., Price, Roger D. & Johnson, Kevin P., 2011, New host records and descriptions of five new species of Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) from passerine birds (Aves: Passeriformes), pp. 1-19 in Zootaxa 3097 on page 10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20262
