The first phylogeny reconstructed solely for amblyceran genera is presented. This study, based on an extensive comparison of adult morphology and a rigorous cladistic analysis, considers generic exemplars from 4 families of amblyceran lice (Menoponidae, Boopiidae, Laemobothriidae and Ricinidae). The monophyly and evolutionary relationships of these families are strongly supported and there is good support for Menoponidae and Boopiidae as sister taxa. The relationships of the families are not…

Sexual dimorphism was mainly shown by differences in body size and abdominal chaetotaxy, with females being 17.5% larger than males and with more setae in each cluster.
Patterns of host–parasite associations in tropical lice and their passerine hosts in Cameroon

This study supports the importance of complex biotic interactions in tropical environments by finding significant congruence in host–parasite distance matrices, mainly driven by associations between Brueelia lice and passerine species of the Waxbill (Estrildidae) family, and Myrsidea louse and their Bulbul (Pycnonotidae) host species.

It is reported, for the first time, the presence of three chewing louse species - bird species associations in the Turkish parasitological fauna: menacanthus curuccae (Schrank, 1776) ex Acrocephalus scirpaceus and Sylvia borin; and Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838) ex Turdus merula.
