Lemurpediculus madagascariensis sp. nov. (Phthiraptera: Anoplura: Polyplacidae) is described from the Gray Mouse lemur, Microcebus murinus (J. F. Miller) (Primates: Cheirogaleidae), from Ankarafantsika National Park, Madagascar. Lemurs were trapped using Sherman Live Traps and visually inspected for lice, which were preserved in 90% ethanol. Adults of both sexes and the third-instar nymph of the new species are illustrated and distinguished from the four previously known species of Lemurpediculus: L. verruculosus (Ward); L. petterorum Paulian; L. claytoni Durden, Blanco, and Seabolt; and L. robbinsi Durden, Blanco, and Seabolt. It is not known if the new species of louse is a vector of any pathogens or parasites.
马达加斯加狐猴虱新种（虱目：吸虱亚目：多板虱科）是从马达加斯加安卡拉方西卡国家公园的灰鼠狐猴（Microcebus murinus，J. F. 米勒）（灵长目：鼠狐猴科）身上描述的。狐猴使用谢尔曼活捕陷阱捕获，并对其进行目视检查以寻找虱子，虱子保存在90%乙醇中。文中展示了该新物种的成年雌雄个体和三龄若虫，并将其与狐猴虱属之前已知的四个物种区分开来：疣狐猴虱（沃德）；佩氏狐猴虱 保利安；克莱顿狐猴虱 德登、布兰科和西博尔特；以及罗宾斯狐猴虱 德登、布兰科和西博尔特。目前尚不清楚这种新的虱子是否是任何病原体或寄生虫的传播媒介。
