We studied a collection of lice from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile containing all four known species and one new species (described herein) in the genus Tinamotaecola, parasites of birds of the families Cariamidae and Tinamidae. We also (1) describe previously unknown second and third nymphal instars of two Tinamotaecola species, (2) discuss hosts and geographical ranges for all Tinamotaecola species, and (3) speculate on possible macroevolutionary events that may explain the current distribution of these lice on their respective avian hosts.
我们研究了一批来自阿根廷、巴西、巴拉圭和智利的虱子,其中包含所有已知的四个物种以及一个新物种(本文中描述),它们都属于小䳍虱属,是叫鹤科和䳍科鸟类的寄生虫。我们还(1)描述了两种小䳍虱属物种此前未知的第二和第三若虫龄期,(2)讨论了所有小䳍虱属物种的宿主和地理分布范围,以及(3)推测了可能的宏观进化事件,这些事件或许可以解释这些虱子在其各自鸟类宿主上的当前分布情况。
