Abstract The population characteristics of the louse, Upupicola upupae (Shrank) (Mallophaga: Philopteridae: Ishnocera), infesting the Common Hoopae, Upupa epops L. (Aves: Upupiformes), were recorded during 2007-08 in District Rampur, Uttar Pradesh India. The pattern of frequency distribution of the louse conformed to the negative binomial model. The lice and its nits were reared in vitro at 35 ± 1° C, 75-82 % RH, on a feather diet. The data obtained was used to construct the life table and to determine the intrinsic rate of natural increase (0.035 female/day), the net reproductive rate was 3.67 female eggs/female, the generation time was 37 days, and the doubling time of the population was 19 days. The chaetotaxy of the three nymphal instars has also been noted to record their diagnostic characteristics. Information on egg morphology and antennal sensilla is also presented.

摘要在印度北方邦兰普尔地区，于 2007-08 年记录了寄生在普通戴胜（Upupa epops L.）（佛法僧目：佛法僧科：伊什诺虫目）上的食毛虱（Upupicola upupae（Shrank））的种群特征。虱子及其卵的体外饲养温度为 35±1°C，相对湿度为 75-82%，饲料为羽毛。利用所得数据构建生命表并确定内禀增长率（0.035 只雌虱/天）、净生殖率为 3.67 只雌虱卵/雌虱、世代时间为 37 天，种群倍增时间为 19 天。还记录了三个若虫龄期的毛序，以记录其诊断特征。还介绍了卵形态和触角感觉器的信息。
