One hundred and seventy individuals of five species of manakins (Passeriformes: Pipridae) were examined for chewing lice (Phthiraptera) in Costa Rica. Six species of chewing lice were identified. Chewing lice or their eggs were found on 26% individuals (28 positive/109 examined) of Long-tailed Manakins (Chiroxiphia linearis), the most numerous manakin species examined. There were significant differences in prevalences and intensities of infestation between males and females. No lice were found on females (n = 28) compared to 35% (24 positive/69 examined) prevalence in males. In older males, the higher prevalence and mean intensity of infestation was found. Description and illustrations are given for a new species of the genus Tyranniphilopterus Mey, 2004 from Long-tailed Manakin-Tyranniphilopterus toledo Sychra, sp. n. Both sexes of Tyranniphilopterus bruneri (Carriker, 1903) are redescribed. New host records are Long-tailed Manakin and White-collared Manakin (Manacus candei) for Ricinus invadens; White-ruffed Manakin (Corapipo altera) for Ricinus pessimalis; Long-tailed Manakin for Myrsidea andyolsoni. These are the first louse records from Long-tailed Manakin.
在哥斯达黎加，对五种丛巴利鸟（雀形目：管舌鸟科）的 170 只个体进行了咀嚼虱（食毛目）检查。鉴定出六种咀嚼虱。在长尾丛巴利鸟（Chiroxiphia linearis）的 26%个体（28 只阳性/109 只检查）上发现了咀嚼虱或其卵，这是检查过的丛巴利鸟中数量最多的一种。雄性和雌性个体之间的感染率和感染强度存在显著差异。在 28 只雌性（n = 28）中未发现虱子，而在 69 只雄性中，感染率为 35%（24 只阳性/69 只检查）。在较老的雄性中，发现了更高的感染率和平均感染强度。从长尾丛巴利鸟中描述并图示了 Tyranniphilopterus 属的一个新种，即 Tyranniphilopterus toledo Sychra，sp. n. 对 Tyranniphilopterus bruneri（Carriker，1903）的雌雄两性均进行了重新描述。Ricinus invadens 的新宿主记录是长尾丛巴利鸟和白颈丛巴利鸟（Manacus candei）；Ricinus pessimalis 的新宿主记录是白喉丛巴利鸟（Corapipo altera）；Long-tailed Manakin 的新宿主记录是 Myrsidea andyolsoni。这些是长尾丛巴利鸟的首次虱记录。
