Strigiphilus is a genus of chewing louse in the suborder Ischnocera. It was circumscribed in 1910 by Eric Mjöberg.[1]
Taxonomic history
[edit | edit source]Mjöberg initially circumscribed Strigiphilus as a subgenus of the genus he referred to as Docophorus[6] (now known as Philopterus).
In a 1966 paper, Theresa Clay recognized 29 species and grouped them into the following nine species groups:[7]
- Strigiphilus rostratus (Burmeister, 1838) group
- Strigiphilus heterocerus (Grube, 1851) group
- Strigiphilus cursor (Burmeister, 1838) group
- Strigiphilus crenulatus (Giebel, 1874) group
- Strigiphilus macrogenitalis Emerson & Elbel, 1957 group
- Strigiphilus strigis (Pontoppidan, 1763) group
- Strigiphilus siamensis Emerson & Elbel, 1957 group
- Strigiphilus ketupae Emerson & Elbel, 1957 group
- Strigiphilus cursitans (Nitzsch, 1861) group
The largest group is the S. curstans group.[8]
Hosts
[edit | edit source]Strigiphilus is the only genus of Ischnocera to exclusively parasitize owls.[9]: 340
Species
[edit | edit source]As of 2017[update], there are approximately fifty species of Strigiphilus.[1] Species include:
- Strigiphilus garylarsoni Clayton, 1990[8] (cursitans group)
