“…In Peru, H. lata has not been registered in previous works, so this study would be the first to report this ectoparasite within the diversity of chewing lice for the country. (Roda & Farias, 1999), Argentina (Abrahamovich et al, 2006) and in Peru by Soto-Patiño et al (2018). Additionally, Carriker (1960) reported the genus for the first time in Peru in the host Threnetes leucurus, the latter association coincides with our study.…”

Research on ectoparasites in birds involving lice, mites, fleas, ticks, and flies has been intensifying in recent years (McAllister et al., 2018; Hasan, 2019). The importance of the studies of ectoparasites of birds includes different aspects among which the influence that they have on their hosts stands out, as well as the conditioning that can cause the parasitic load in the behavior, feeding, reproduction and migration of the birds (Clayton et al., 2010; Hicks et al., 2018). Chewing lice (Amblycera and Ischnocera) belonging to the order Phthiraptera are obligate and specific ectoparasites of birds and mammals (Parra-Henao et al.

This taxonomic catalog of the species of the genus Gyropus (Phthiraptera, Amblycera, Gyropidae) includes 27 species and subspecies listed in alphabetical order. The deposition of types, synonymies, collection data, geographical and host distribution are presented for each species. Relevant published taxonomic and biological references are provided. Cases of doubtful host records are discussed with some changes in host associations proposed based on current knowledge of host geographical distributions. The host of Gyropus martini matthaeensis, the only species without a known host, is proposed based on morphological features and distribution records.

The species and subspecies of chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) parasitic on Chilean birds are listed and annotated, based on records published until October 2021 and from our examination of collections. The current scientific name, its taxonomic history, data on type material, type host, other hosts, geographic distribution within Chile and elsewhere, Chilean literature references and other significant references are given for each species or subspecies of lice. A total of four families, 76 genera, and 245 species and subspecies of lice are listed, including 17 species recorded as genus only, and 31 new records of species. A host-louse list—including a total of 155 bird species (146 native and nine introduced by human agency) belonging to 19 orders, 43 families and 107 genera—is also given.
