“…Brueelia is a diverse genus composed of approximately 276 species (CICCHINO & CASTRO, 1998;PRICE et al, 2003). In South America, 37 representatives of the genus have been documented to parasitize birds of the families Icteridae, Emberizidae, Mimidae, Thraupidae, Turdidae, and Picidae (CARRIKER, 1963;CICCHINO, 1979CICCHINO, , 1982CICCHINO, , 1983CICCHINO, , 1986CICCHINO, , 1990CICCHINO, , 2004GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA et al, 2006;VALIM & PALMA, 2006;CICCHINO & GONZÁLEZ-ACUÑA, 2008CUNHA et al, 2013;GOMEZ-PUERTA & CRIBILLERO, 2015;VALIM & CICCHINO, 2015). In this study, the presence of B. magellanica was found in T. falcklandii (Figure 1).…”

A total of thirty Austral thrushes Turdus falcklandii Quoy & Gaimard, 1824 (Turdidae) carcasses were brought to the Departamento de Ciencia Animal, Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad de Concepción, to be examined for ecto- and endoparasites. Ectoparasites were found on 20% (6/30) of the thrushes and belonged to species Brueelia magellanica Cichino, 1986 (Phthiraptera), Menacanthus eurysternus Burmeister, 1838 (Phthiraptera) and Tyrannidectes falcklandicus Mironov & González-Acuña, 2011 (Acari). Endoparasites were isolated from 26.6% (8/30) of the birds and identified as Lueheia inscripta Westrumb, 1821 (Acanthocephala), Plagiorhynchus cylindraceus Goeze, 1782 (Acanthocephala), Wardium sp. sensu Mayhew, 1925 (Cestoda), Dilepis undula (Cestoda) Schrank, 1788, and Zonorchis sp. (sensu Travassos, 1944) (Trematoda). To our knowledge, all endoparasites collected in this study are new records in T. falcklandii and expand their distributional range to Chile.

“…The genus Brueelia Kéler, 1936 occurs primarily on songbirds, and is one of the most speciose groups of chewing lice, with over 300 described species (Price et al 2003;Cicchino 2004;Cicchino & González-Acuña 2008Mey & Barker 2014;Najer et al 2012aNajer et al ,b,c, 2014Rékási & Saxena 2005;Sychra et al 2009Sychra et al , 2010aValim & Palma 2006Valim & Weckstein 2011). Brueelia sensu lato (as in Price et al 2003) is highly variable and the characters that circumscribe this genus are poorly defined.…”

Four new species in the louse genus Brueelia Kéler, 1936 are described from African hosts of the families Sturnidae and Laniidae. They are: Brueelia rigbyi n. sp. ex Corvinella melanoleuca (Jardine, 1831), B. clara n. sp. ex Lamprotornis australis (A. Smith, 1836), B. tkachi n. sp. ex Spreo albicapillus albicapillus Blyth, 1856, and B. coryliventer n. sp. ex Creatophora cinerea (Meuschen, 1787). These four species are characterized by a unique abdominal chaetotaxy and a sinuous thickening of the distal margin of the male mesosome. These four species are very similar, and we consider them to form one species group. A key to the species of the group is provided.
