Abstract

Chewing lice of the species Afrimenopon waar (Eichler) were collected from captive budgerigar Melopsittacus undulatus (Shaw) in Pakistan. This is the first record of amblyceran lice from this host. It is also the first record of the genus Afrimenopon from Pakistani region. The primary host species of Afrimenopon waar is the rosy-faced lovebird Agapornis roseicollis (Vieillot). The finding of A. waar on budgerigars is, most likely, a result of a contamination in captivity. Morphological variation and origin of these lice are discussed.

摘要

在巴基斯坦，从圈养的虎皮鹦鹉（Melopsittacus undulatus Shaw）身上采集到了物种为瓦氏非洲短角羽虱（Afrimenopon waar Eichler）的咀嚼式虱子。这是该宿主身上发现吸虱类虱子的首次记录。这也是巴基斯坦地区首次记录到非洲短角羽虱属。瓦氏非洲短角羽虱的主要宿主物种是红脸牡丹鹦鹉（Agapornis roseicollis Vieillot）。在虎皮鹦鹉身上发现瓦氏非洲短角羽虱很可能是圈养环境中污染所致。本文讨论了这些虱子的形态变异和来源。
