dc.description.abstractA new species of chewing louse, Felicola (Lorisicola) oncae (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae), is described and illustrated from a jaguar, Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae), taken in Costa Rica. Although this louse is based only on a single male specimen, its morphological distinctiveness and occurrence on a big cat of the genus Panthera make its discovery and description of special significance. The genus Felicola Ewing now contains 55 species, which can be grouped into four subgenera: Felicola, Lorisicola, Paradoxuroecus, and Suricatoecus. Resumen.--Se describe e ilustra una nueva especie de piojo, Felicola (Lorisicola) oncae (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae), de un jaguar, Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae), capturado en Costa Rica. Aunque este piojo se basa solamente en un (mica ejemplar macho, su distintividad rnorfologica y ocurrencia en un gran felino del genero Panthera le confieren a su descubrimiento y descripcion una significancia especial.
