Systematic Review of Endemic Sulawesi Squirrels (Rodentia, Sciuridae), with Descriptions of New Species of Associated Sucking Lice (Insecta, Anoplura), and Phylogenetic and Zoogeographic Assessments of Sciurid Lice

“…All five genera (Atopophthirus, Enderleinellus, Microphthirus, Phthirunculus, and Werneckia) belonging to the anopluran family Enderleinellidae (representing representing 56 species, including two undescribed species of Enderleinellus-one from Microsciurus flaviventer in Peru, the other from Tamiops maritimus in Laos) are exclusively parasites of sciurids (table 53;Ferris, 1919;Werneck, 1948;Kim and Ludwig, 1978;Kim, 1966Kim, , 1985Kim, , 1988Kim, , 2006). There appears to have been significant parallel evolution between the Enderleinellidae and the Sciuridae, with close phyletic host tracking shown by these lice at both the generic and species levels (Kim, 1988(Kim, , 2006.…”
