To describe a new genus and two new species of chewing lice from Southeast Asian trogons (Trogoniformes). These lice belong in the Philopterus-complex.
Slide-mounted lice were examined in a light microscope, illustrated by means of a drawing tube, and described using standard procedures.
The new genus and species were successfully described.
The genus Vinceopterus n. gen. is described from two species of Southeast Asian trogons (Trogoniformes: Harpactes). It presently comprises two species: Vinceopterus erythrocephali n. sp. from three subspecies of the Red-headed Trogon Harpactes erythrocephalus (Gould, 1834), and Vinceopterus mindanensis n. sp. from two subspecies of the Philippine Trogon Harpactes ardens (Temminck, 1826). Vinceopterus belongs to the Philopterus-complex, and thus likely constitutes a genus of head lice. Vinceopterus is the second new genus of chewing lice discovered on Southeast Asian trogons in recent years, the first genus of presumed head lice on trogons worldwide, and the fifth genus of chewing lice known from trogons globally. A translated and revised key to the Philopterus-complex is provided, as well as notes on the various chewing lice genera known from trogons.
描述东南亚咬鹃（咬鹃目）的一个新属及两个新种咀嚼虱。这些虱子属于Philopterus类群。
在光学显微镜下检查玻片标本上的虱子，通过绘图管进行绘图，并采用标准程序进行描述。
成功描述了新属和新种。
Vinceopterus属是从东南亚咬鹃（咬鹃目：须咬鹃属）的两个物种中描述出来的。它目前包含两个物种：红头咬鹃（Harpactes erythrocephalus (Gould, 1834)）三个亚种的红头文氏咬鹃（Vinceopterus erythrocephali）新种，以及菲律宾咬鹃（Harpactes ardens (Temminck, 1826)）两个亚种的棉兰老文氏咬鹃（Vinceopterus mindanensis）新种。Vinceopterus属于Philopterus类群，因此可能构成一个头虱属。Vinceopterus是近年来在东南亚咬鹃上发现的第二个咀嚼虱新属，是全球咬鹃上首个推测的头虱属，也是全球已知咬鹃的第五个咀嚼虱属。提供了Philopterus类群的翻译和修订检索表，以及关于咬鹃已知的各种咀嚼虱属的注释。
