dc.description.abstractTwo new species of chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Gyropidae) from high-elevation Peruvian rodents are described and illustrated: Gliricola cutkompi from Cuscomys ashaninka Emmons (Abrocomidae) and G. brooksae from Dactylomys peruanus (J. A. Allen) (Echimyidae). The specimen of Cuscomys ashaninka that yielded the series of G. cutkompi also was the source of the type series of the previously described Abrocomophaga emmonsae Price and Timm. This finding reconfirms that single individual caviomorph rodents may harbor 2 different genera of lice of the family Gyropidae.
dc.description.sponsorshipSe describen y se ilustran dos especies nuevas de piojos suramericanos (Phthiraptera: Gyropidae) de roedores peruanas de alta montaña: Gliricola cutkompi parásito de Cuscomys ashaninka Emmons (Abrocomidae) y G. brooksae parásito de Dactylomys peruanus (J. A. Allen) (Echimyidae). La serie típica de G. cutkompi fue colectada del mismo especimen de Cuscomys ashaninka del cual se colectó la serie típica de Abrocomophaga emmonsae Price y Timm, anteriormente descrita por nosotros. Tal descubrimiento reconfirma que un solo individuo de roedor caviomorfo puede hospedar a dos generos distintos de la familia Gyropidae.
