Cospeciation has been observed multiple times between parasites and their hosts. Here we compare the phylogeny of 2 different groups chewing lice (Phthiraptera), one known for being host specific (Amblycera: Myrsidea) including many generalist species (Ischnocera: Brueelia-complex, specifically Guimaraesiella Priceiella) with that songbird hosts (Passeriformes), which are participants in mixed-species feeding flocks South China. Using event- (Jane) distance-based (ParaFit) analyses found both have phylogenies more similar than by chance to those However, cospeciation host-switching events were inferred Myrsidea data set, whereas duplication losses Brueelia-complex set. Even though these louse on roughly same species, differences sorting may be linked modes dispersal. Whereas transfer direct contact, phoresy is recorded only belonging Brueelia-complex.

Two new species of the head louse genus Craspedorrhynchus Kéler, 1938 are described from specimens collected in China. They are: guizhouensis sp. n. ex Accipiter soloensis (Horsfield, 1821) and obsoletus Nisaetus nipalensis Hodgson, 1836. An overview morphological variation within is given to aid future identifications, with an assessment groups delimitation.

Closely related chewing lice in the Philopterus -complex are typically morphologically homogeneous, with most significant differences often being male genitalia. However, many groups within this complex genitalia reduced and lacking one or more element, remaining components at least partially fused. This is not case genus Philopteroides Mey, 2004, which mesosome other characters largely homogeneous throughout genus. A phylogeny of group based on a combination mitochondrial nuclear genes suggests that species presently placed belong to three different clades, do form monophyletic together. We here redefine morphologically, describe two these clades as new genera: Stasiasticopterus n. gen. for bulbuls, Coronedax monarch flycatchers. These genera can be separated from each only by some genitalia, but possibly also preantennal head female In addition, we , longiceps sp. provide an overview morphology treated.

Harrison’s Rule (HR) postulates a positive allometry between host and parasite body sizes. We tested HR for Syringophilid quill mites parasitizing birds. Using mass length as size indices, this pattern was absent in the Syringophilidae family Syringophilinae subfamily whole. However, when considering genera units of study, proposed originally by Harrison, we found that positively correlates with both male female seven (Aulobia, Aulonastus, Neoaulonastus, Picobia, Neopicobia, Syringophilopsis, Torotrogla). Most these relationships were non-significant. On contrary, Syringophiloidus exhibited negative (both non-significant). This apparent contradiction disappeared applied wing an index size. Since species genus are specific to flight feathers (secondaries also primaries), is more meaningful than mass. Overall, most cases corresponded direction predicted Harrison examined on level. finding implies surprising reliability concept, at least group ectoparasites.
