Strigiphilus cursor can be distinguished from other species of Japanese Strigiphilus by the following characters (1) abdominal tergite III with postspiracular setae, (2) the metanotum with 2 long and 1 medium posterolateral setae on each side, (3) the shape of dorsal anterior plates ( Figs 8, 11 , 13, 16 ), and (4) the morphology of the male genitalia ( Figs 9 , 14 ). Material examined. Type specimens. Ex Strix aluco yamadae : Lectotype ♂ (here designated) of Philopterus cursor laticephalus Uchida, 1949 . Originally labeled as “ Philopterus cursor laticephalus n. var. / Takasago-fukuro [= Strix aluco yamadae : in Katakana ], Ishigakijima [in Kanji], 18. XII. 1924 ” ( ELKU ). Paralectotypes : 4♂ , 13♀ , with same data as lectotype ( ELKU ). The lectotype and 4♂ , 7♀ paralectotypes are slide-mounted, and labeled as “(1) (Para) Lectotype / Philopterus cursor / var laticephalus / Uchida, 1949 ; (2) Strigiphilus cursor / det. Shimada & Yoshi, 2020; (3) Ishigakijima/ Ryukyus/ 18. xii. 1924 / ex. Strix aluco yamadae ”. Note : There is a discrepancy on the year of collection of the above-listed specimens, being “1923” in Uchida (1949: 543) , but “1924” in Uchida's label attached to the lice. However, as all other label data are in complete agreement with the data given by Uchida (1949: 543) , we concluded that these specimens are those examined by Uchida (1949) and published as “ Philopterus cursor var laticephalus n. var. ”. Non-type specimens. Ex Asio flammeus flammeus : 1♂ , 2♀ , 1N (slide-mounted), originally labeled as “ Philopterus cursor N./ Komimizuku [= Asio flammeus flammeus : in Katakana ], Chiba Prefecture Funabashi [in Kanji], 14. XII. 1924 ” ( ELKU ) ; 1N (preserved in alcohol) same data ( ELKU ) . Ex Asio flammeus ssp.: 1♀ (slide-mounted), Fukuei , Ichikawa City , Chiba Prefecture , Japan , 29 Aug. 2006 , Tatsuo Sato ( SEHU ) ; 1♀ (preserved in alcohol) same data ( YIO ) ; 1♀ (slide-mounted), Takarajima , Toshima Village , Kagoshima Prefecture , Japan , 3 Dec. 2007 , Isao Nishiumi & Yasuko Iwami ( SEHU ) .
