Abstract

Two new species of the louse genus Philopteroides Mey, 2004 are described and illustrated from two host species of painted berrypeckers, endemic to New Guinea: Philopteroides sinancorellus n. sp. ex Oreocharis arfaki (Meyer, 1875) (tit berrypecker), and Philopteroides gigas n. sp. ex Paramythia montium De Vis, 1892 (crested berrypecker). Both louse species belong to the beckeri species-group based on their short, broad preantennal areas, and shallow median indentations of the hyaline margin. The description of these two new species brings the total number of Philopteroides species to 15. An amended key to the beckeri species-group is included.

摘要

2004年描述并图示了虱属Philopteroides Mey的两个新物种，寄主为新几内亚特有的两种彩莓啄果鸟：来自阿氏长距苣苔（Meyer，1875）（小彩莓啄果鸟）的中华菲尔虱新种Philopteroides sinancorellus n. sp.，以及来自高山拟果鸠De Vis，1892（冠彩莓啄果鸟）的巨菲尔虱新种Philopteroides gigas n. sp.。基于其短而宽的触角前区以及透明边缘的浅中凹，这两种虱类均属于贝氏物种组。这两个新物种的描述使Philopteroides属的物种总数达到15种。文中还包含了贝氏物种组的修订检索表。
