Morphological revision of the hyperdiverse Brueelia - complex (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Philopteridae) with new taxa, checklists and generic key Author Bush, Sarah E. text Zootaxa 2017 2017-08-31 4313 1 1 443 journal article 32249 10.11646/zootaxa.4313.1.1 d8cc2cd8-8410-49aa-a75d-7a41d9f52b26 1175-5326 883161 A5Fdfba5-F992-44A8-84C2-1756C943C19B Nirmus ovalis Neumann, 1890 Type host. Psittrichas fulgidus (Lesson, 1830) —Pesquet’s parrot. Other host. Eclectus roratus polychlorus (Scopoli, 1786) — eclectus parrot. Remarks. This species was collected from two Melanesian parrot species: Dasyptilus pecqueti [ = Psittrichas fulgidus (Lesson, 1830) ] and Eclectus polychlorus [ = Eclectus roratus polychlorus (Scopoli, 1786) ]. It was described only in vague terms, and cannot be accurately placed in any of the genera treated here. Hopkins & Clay (1952: 59) regarded it as a valid species of Brueelia , followed by Price et al . (2003) We examined additional material from an eclectus parrot [ Eclectus roratus ] and a song parrot [ Geoffreyus heteroclitus (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1841)] from the Solomon Islands , but these specimens are largely white, not light brown as Nirmus ovalis was described. Therefore, we regard this species as incertae sedis .
