Checklist of the Mallophaga of North America (North of Mexico), Which Reflects the Taxonomic Studies Published Since That Date The Genera and Species of the Mallophaga of North America (North of Mexico). Part I Suborder ISCHNOCERA by K. C. Emerson, PhD DEFENSE PEST MGMT INFO ANALYSIS CTR AFPMB, FOREST GLEN SECTION, WRAMC WASHINGTON, DC 20307-5001 ,PREFACE This volume is essentially a revision of my 1964 publication. Checklist of the Mallophaga of North America (north of Mexico), which reflects the taxonomic studies published since that date. Host criteria for the birds has been expanded to include consideration of all species listed in The A. 0. U. Check- list of North American Birds, Fifth Edition (1957)~A few species of birds definitely known to be extinct are omitted for the listings of probable hosts, even though new species may still be found on museum skins. Mammal hosts considered remain those Irecorded in Miller and Kellogg, List of North American Recent Mammals (1955), as being found north of Mexico. If the present volume of taxonomic studies of Mallophaga continues, another revision will be necessary in a few years. Much remains to be done on the taxonomy of several genera and host groups, especially the forms found on the Passeriformes .

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

G. FRANZ SAUER, Gainesville, Fla., and EMIL K. URBAN, Madison, Wise. The avifauna of St. Lawrence Island, in the Bering Sea midway between the Old and the New Worlds, and about 400 km south of the Arctic Circle, was admirably summarized to date by Fay and Cade (1959). During our work there with Golden Plovers from 2 June to 28 August 1960 (Sauer, 1962), we made sundry observations on 57 other species that seem worth recounting as complimentary or additional to the Fay and Cade data. These add nesting records for five species to the island. Most of our obser- vations were restricted to the Boxer Bay area, but our records also include bird notes made on overland and boat trips from Boxer Bay to Gambell and to the western margin of Koozata Lagoon (Fig. 1). 171°30' Fig. 1 a, b.

  • Co-Extinct and Critically Co-Endangered Species of Parasitic Lice, and Conservation-Induced Extinction: Should Lice Be Reintroduced to Their Hosts?
    Short Communication Co-extinct and critically co-endangered species of parasitic lice, and conservation-induced extinction: should lice be reintroduced to their hosts? L AJOS R ÓZSA and Z OLTÁN V AS Abstract The co-extinction of parasitic taxa and their host These problems highlight the need to develop reliable species is considered a common phenomenon in the current taxonomical knowledge about threatened and extinct global extinction crisis. However, information about the parasites. Although the co-extinction of host-specific conservation status of parasitic taxa is scarce. We present a dependent taxa (mutualists and parasites) and their hosts global list of co-extinct and critically co-endangered is known to be a feature of the ongoing wave of global parasitic lice (Phthiraptera), based on published data on extinctions (Stork & Lyal, 1993; Koh et al., 2004; Dunn et al., their host-specificity and their hosts’ conservation status 2009), the magnitude of this threat is difficult to assess. according to the IUCN Red List. We list six co-extinct Published lists of threatened animal parasites only cover and 40 (possibly 41) critically co-endangered species. ixodid ticks (Durden & Keirans, 1996; Mihalca et al., 2011), Additionally, we recognize 2–4 species that went extinct oestrid flies (Colwell et al., 2009), helminths of Brazilian as a result of conservation efforts to save their hosts. vertebrates (Muñiz-Pereira et al., 2009) and New Zealand Conservationists should consider preserving host-specific mites and lice (Buckley et al., 2012). Our aim here is to lice as part of their efforts to save species. provide a critical overview of the conservation status of parasitic lice.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Infesting Rock Pigeons and Mourning Doves (Aves: Columbiformes: Columbidae) in Manitoba, with New Records for North America and Canada
    208 Serendipity with chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae, Philopteridae) infesting rock pigeons and mourning doves (Aves: Columbiformes: Columbidae) in Manitoba, with new records for North America and Canada Terry D. Galloway1 Department of Entomology, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T 2N2 Ricardo L. Palma Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, P.O. Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand Abstract—An extensive survey of chewing lice from rock pigeon, Columba livia Gmelin, and mourning dove, Zenaida macroura (L.), carried out from 1994 to 2000 and from 2003 to 2006 in Manitoba, Canada, produced the following new records: Coloceras tovornikae Tendeiro for North America; Columbicola macrourae (Wilson), Hohorstiella lata (Piaget), H. paladinella Hill and Tuff, and Physconelloides zenaidurae (McGregor) for Canada; and Bonomiella columbae Emerson, Campanulotes compar (Burmeister), Columbicola baculoides (Paine), and C. columbae (L.) for Manitoba. We collected 25 418 lice of four species (C. compar, C. columbae, H. lata, and C. tovornikae) from 322 rock pigeons. The overall prevalence of infestation was 78.9%, 52.5%, and 23.3% for C. compar, C. columbae, and H. lata, respectively. Coloceras tovornikae was not discovered until 2003, after which its prevalence was 39.9% on 114 pigeons. We col- lected 1116 lice of five species (P. zenaidurae, C. baculoides, C. macrourae, H. paladinella, and B. columbae) from 117 mourning doves. Physconelloides zenaidurae was encountered most often (prevalence was 36.7%), while the prevalence of the other four species was 26.3%, 18.4%, 3.5%, and 2.6%, respectively.

Box 844, Ames, Iowa 50010, 1 Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108, and 4 Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, Okeechobee, Florida 34974 ABSTRACT: Thirty fulvous whistling-ducks (Dendrocygna bicolor) collected during 1984-1985 from the Ever- glades Agricultural Area of southern Florida were examined for parasites. Twenty-eight species were identified and included 8 trematodes, 6 cestodes, 1 nematode, 4 chewing lice, and 9 mites. All parasites except the 4 species of lice and 1 of the mites are new host records for fulvous whistling-ducks. None of the ducks were infected with blood parasites. Every duck was infected with at least 2 species of helminths (mean 4.2; range 2- 8 species). The most common helminths were the trematodes Echinostoma trivolvis and Typhlocoelum cucu- merinum and 2 undescribed cestodes of the genus Diorchis, which occurred in prevalences of 67, 63, 50, and 50%, respectively. Only 1 duck was free of parasitic arthropods; each of the other 29 ducks was infested with at least 3 species of arthropods (mean 5.3; range 3-9 species). The most common arthropods included an undescribed feather mite (Ingrassia sp.) and the chewing louse Holomenopon leucoxanthum, both of which occurred in 97% of the ducks.
