We provide a comprehensive taxonomic review of Physconelloides, a genus of ischnoceran chewing lice found on pigeons and doves (Columbiformes). Thirteen previously known Physconelloides species are redescribed and 16 new synonymies are designated: P. rubripes Carriker, P. rubripes longulus Tendeiro, P. piotrowskii Tendeiro and P. auritae Tendeiro are synonyms of P. zenaidurae (McGregor); P. recurvatus Eichler, P. chocoensis Carriker and P. montana Carriker are synonyms of P. ceratoceps Ewing; P. silvestris Tendeiro is a synonym of P. perijae Carriker; P. keleri Kaddou and P. branderi Kaddou are synonyms of P. spenceri Emerson and Ward; P. wolfdietrichi Kaddou is a synonym of P. anolaimae Carriker; and Goniocotacanthus mattogrossensis Guimaraes, P. passerinae Emerson, P. eurysema pretiosa Carriker, P. talpacoti Carriker and P. picuii Tendeiro are synonyms of P. eurysema (Carriker). Three new species are also described: P. moyeri (type host Geotrygon linearis), P. johnsoni (type host Columbina passerina bahamensis), and P. robbinsi (type host Metriopelia ceciliae). A key is provided for identification of the 16 recognized species.
我们对鸽虱属（Physconelloides）进行了全面的分类学综述，该属是在鸽形目（Columbiformes）的鸽子和鸠上发现的一种短角嚼虱。重新描述了13个先前已知的鸽虱属物种，并指定了16个新的同物异名：红足鸽虱（Physconelloides rubripes）、长红足鸽虱（P. rubripes longulus）、皮氏鸽虱（P. piotrowskii）和奥氏鸽虱（P. auritae）是泽奈达鸽虱（P. zenaidurae）（麦格雷戈）的同物异名；弯形鸽虱（P. recurvatus）、乔科鸽虱（P. chocoensis）和蒙大拿鸽虱（P. montana）是角头鸽虱（P. ceratoceps）（尤因）的同物异名；林地鸽虱（P. silvestris）是佩里哈鸽虱（P. perijae）（卡里克尔）的同物异名；凯氏鸽虱（P. keleri）和布兰氏鸽虱（P. branderi）是斯宾塞鸽虱（P. spenceri）（爱默生和沃德）的同物异名；沃尔夫迪特里希鸽虱（P. wolfdietrichi）是阿诺莱马鸽虱（P. anolaimae）（卡里克尔）的同物异名；马托格罗索戈尼奥科塔坎图斯虱（Goniocotacanthus mattogrossensis）、雀形鸽虱（P. passerinae）、珍贵宽体鸽虱（P. eurysema pretiosa）、塔尔帕科蒂鸽虱（P. talpacoti）和皮奎鸽虱（P. picuii）是宽体鸽虱（P. eurysema）（卡里克尔）的同物异名。还描述了3个新物种：莫耶氏鸽虱（P. moyeri）（模式宿主为直线美洲鸽（Geotrygon linearis））、约翰逊氏鸽虱（P. johnsoni）（模式宿主为巴哈马雀鸽（Columbina passerina bahamensis））和罗宾斯氏鸽虱（P. robbinsi）（模式宿主为塞西莉亚地鸽（Metriopelia ceciliae））。提供了一个用于鉴定16个公认物种的检索表。
