dc.description.abstract | The South American chewing louse Abrocomophaga chilensis Emerson & Price has, since its description, remained the sole known member of the amblyceran family Abrocomophagidae. We herein provide a redescription of the species as well as descriptions and illustrations for two new species of Abrocomophaga: A. emmonsae off Cuscomys ashaninka Emmons from Perú and A. hellenthali off the degu, Octodon degus (Molina), from Chile. After our reevaluation of the status of the family Abrocomophagidae, we consider it a synonym of the family Gyropidae. Resumen—Desde su descripción original, el piojo sudamericano Abrocomophaga chilensis Emerson & Price, ha permanecido como el único miembro conocido de la familia Abrocomophagidae, perteneciente a los amblíceros. En este trabajo presentamos una redescripción de dicha especie y además descripciones e ilustraciones de dos especies nuevas del género Abrocomophaga: A. emmonsae parásito de Cuscomys ashaninka Emmons proveniente del Perú y A. hellenthali parásito del degu, Octodon degus (Molina), de Chile. Después de reevaluar el status de la familia Abrocomophagidae, la consideramos como sinónimo de la familia Gyropidae. | |
