Remarks.
This is the first record of a chewing louse from
Serilophus lunatus
. Unfortunately, it was not possible to identify these lice to the species level because of lack of material, especially the lack of females. They may represent a new, yet undescribed species. One of 3 birds examined was parasitized by
Myrsidea
sp. 1.
