Chelidoptera tenebrosa (Pallas) , the Swallow-wing Puffbird. Description. Head shaped much as in Fig. 7 , with marginal carina having even inner border. Tergites II–VI each with 2 tergocentral setae; VII–VIII, 3–4. Male tergite IX ( Fig. 19 ) with very long heavy seta at each lateroposterior corner in addition to usual very long more median seta. Female subgenital plate as in Fig. 20 , with broad blunt posterior portion; vulval margin with row of 14–15 short setae, indented slightly medially, and with short seta displaced on each side lateroposterior to this row. Male subgenital plate close to Fig. 6 ; genitalia as in Fig. 21 . Female dimensions: TW, 0.37–0.40; HL, 0.47; CI, 1.18–1.27; PW, 0.22–0.24; MW, 0.33–0.36; AWV, 0.48–0.49; TL, 1.85–1.91. Male dimensions: TW, 0.36; HL, 0.44; CI, 1.22; PW, 0.21; MW, 0.32; AWV, 0.43; GL, 0.30; PL, 0.035; TL, 1.65. Type material. Ex C. tenebrosa , holotype male, PERU : Dpto. Loreto, 7 km SW Jeberos, 5° 18’ 48” S , 76° 16’ 32” W ( LSUMZ , KB 065, 13 June 2001 ); 1 female , paratype , same data as holotype ; 1 male , 1 female ( DNA vouchers 1.13.2003.18 and PIPeR 1.17.2000.12), paratypes , BRAZIL : Mato Grosso, S bank Rio Cristalino, 1.3 km upriver from the confluence with Rio Teles Pires, 34 km NE Alta Floresta, 9° 37’ 25” S , 55° 55’ 40” W , ( MPEG , JDW- 281, 1 August 1999 ). Remarks. The unique chaetotaxy of the male tergite IX ( Fig. 19 ), coupled with the male genitalic structure ( Fig. 21 ) and the even inner boarder of the marginal head carina, affords the best means for separating this new species from other species in the group. The female subgenital plate is broader posteriorly ( Fig. 20 ), but this feature is rather plastic and may not be consistent in additional material. Etymology. This species is named for Robert C. Faucett in recognition of his valuable assistance collecting specimens vital to this and other studies of lice.
