Title |
Two new species of Dennyus (Ctenodennyus) lice (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) from swiftlets (Apodiformes: Apodidae) |
Date |
1997 |
Description |
To date, only a single species of Dennyus (Ctenodennyus) has been described, this being D. (C.) spiniger Ewing from Cypseloides niger borealis (Kennedy), the northern black swift in North America. Through extensive collecting of lice by the junior author from swiftlets and through a loan of Bishop Museum material, we have obtained a small number of lice representing 2 new species of this subgenus. Here we redescribe D. spiniger and describe and illustrate these 2 new species. |
