Material. Ex P. g. analis and P. g. j a m b u Deignan, subspecies of the Yellow­vented Bulbul, 156 males, 147 females, MALAYA (100 collections), W. J AVA (10 collections), THAILAND (8 collections), SARAWAK (17 collections). Ex P. b l a n f o rd i Jerdon, the Streak­eared Bulbul, 15 males, 6 females, THAILAND (11 collections). Ex P. j o c o s u s (L.), the Red­whiskered Bulbul, 22 males, 15 females, THAILAND (14 collections), HONG KONG (1 collection), INDIA (1 collection). Ex Tricholestes criniger (Blyth), the Hairy­backed Bulbul, 5 males, 1 female, MALAYA (5 collections). Ex Cerasophila thompsoni Bingham, the White­headed Bulbul, 1 male, THAILAND.
Remarks. The over 350 specimens of M. pycnonoti represent a far larger series than for any other species in this study. This species is recognized by its male genital sac sclerite structure and the dimensions and features of chaetotaxy of both sexes. The homogeneity of the lice off the subspecies of P. goiavier from Malaya, Java, Thailand, and Sarawak has convinced us of their conspecificity with what Eichler (1947) described as M. pycnonoti. Unfortunately, Eichler’s description is brief, without illustrations, and of little value in characterizing species. However, a number of slides bear “det. T. Clay” on the label, reinforcing the fact that Clay had satisfied herself of the correctness of the identification. We see no reason to believe otherwise.

Cleidogona chisosi Loomis, 1963: 121, figs 5–7 – Shear (1972: 223, figs 288–293).
This species was described by Loomis (1963) from a single male taken at Pulliam Ridge in the Chisos Mountains, Big Bend National Park, Texas. The species has not been collected since. A few errors of observation in the original description were corrected by me in 1972, and I also provided new illustrations. The gonopods are much simpler than those of Lineagona culmenicola, n. sp., in that the lateral (posterior) branch of the angiocoxite is not subdivided and lacks the tiny filaments seen in that species. The male ninth leg telopodites have only four podomeres, the distalmost minute (see Shear (1972: fig 291) The Chisos Mountains at higher altitudes are relatively well-watered and forested, in contrast to the surrounding desert and semidesert terrain.

description: Myrsidea phillipsi Hellenthal and Price, new species (Fig. 6)
Type host. Pycnonotus goiavier goiavier (Scopoli).
Male (5). As for M. pycnonoti, except as follows. Tergal setae: II, 12–14; III–V, 1 3 – 16; VI, 12–14; VII, 9–14. Sternal setae: III, 9–12; IV–V, 3 1 –35; VI, 26–33. Genital sac sclerite as in Fig. 6, with more extensive lateroposterior spinous area. Dimensions: TW, 0.40–0.42; HL, 0.29–0.31; PW, 0.27–0.29; MW, 0.36–0.40; AWIV, 0.49–0.51; TL, 1.20– 1.27; GSW, 0.031–0.041.
Female (5). As for M. pycnonoti, except as follows. Tergal setae: II, 12–17; III–V, 14–18; VI, 13–15; VII, 10–16. Sternal setae: IV–V, 3 0 –45. Dimensions: PW, 0.29–0.31; AWIV, 0.60–0.69; LSVII, 0.24–0.29; TL, 1.52–1.60.
Type material. Ex P. g. goiavier, holotype male, Siaton, Negros Oriental, PHILIP­ PINES, 6 Feb. 1965, H. E. McClure, 5E­1755. Paratypes, all ex P. g. goiavier in PHILIP­ PINES: 1 male, 3 females, same as holotype; 1 male, 2 females, same except 18 Feb.–2 Mar. 1965, 5 E­1771, 5E­2081; 1 male, 1 female, Calatagan, Batangas, Luzon, 16 Sept. 1964, H. E. McClure, 5E­136, 5E­1599; 1 male, 1 female, Balian, Pangil, Laguna, 4 Nov. 1964, 5E­105.
Remarks. Both sexes of this species are very close to M. pycnonoti. However, the different structure of the male genital sac sclerite and the consistently longer inner tergal VII setae for the female will separate them. The hosts involved are all of northern and central Philippine origin, setting them geographically apart from all hosts for M. pycnonoti.
Etymology. This species is named for Chris Phillips, Illinois Natural History Survey, Champaign, in recognition of his encouragement and support for the publication of our world checklist of chewing lice.

Type host. Pycnonotus goiavier suluensis Mearns.
Male (15). As for M. pycnonoti, except as follows. Sternal setae: III, 8–16; VII, 14– 21; VIII, 6–11 (Fig. 7: arrow). Genital sac sclerite as in Fig. 6, similar to that of M. phillipsi. Dimensions: LSVII, 0.10–0.26.
Female (17). Apparently indistinguishable from M. phillipsi.
Type material. Ex P. g. suluensis, holotype male, Tambo, Munai, Mindanao, PHIL­ IPPINES, 28 Apr.1965, 5E­2210. Paratypes, all ex P. g. suluensis in PHILIPPINES: 1 male, same except 29 Apr.1965, 5E­2212; 4 males, 2 females, Balintad, Munai, Mindanao, 6 June 1965, 5E­2204, 5E­2206, 5E­2208; 1 male, Limot, Mati Davao, Mindanao, 20 June 1965, 5E­2369.
Other material. Ex P. sinensis (Gmelin), the Light­vented Bulbul, 11 males, 8 females, HONG KONG (10 collections), TAIWAN (4 collections).
Remarks. Myrsidea gieferi is unique in the pycnonoti group in that it is the only species for which the male sternite VIII has 6–11 (mean = 7.9) setae. Its distribution in the southern Philippines, Hong Kong, and Taiwan places it in close proximity with the hosts for the closely­related M. phillipsi, each of these louse species having a different subspecies of P. goiavier as the type host and having different geographic distributions from those taxa with M. pycnonoti.
Etymology. This species is named for Matthew Giefer in appreciation of his tireless efforts in the preparation of our world checklist of chewing lice.

E. McClure, 5E­1876.
Remarks. Myrsidea kulpai is separated from other species of this group by the size and shape of the male genital sac sclerite coupled with, for both sexes, the length of the inner seta on tergite VII and only 7–8 setae on tergite II. The type host, P. flavescens, also is unique.
Etymology. This species is named for Charles Kulpa, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, in recognition of his interest in and support of our work on the chewing lice.

description: Myrsidea finlaysoni Hellenthal and Price, new species
Type host. Pycnonotus finlaysoni Strickland.
Male (6). Extremely close to that of M. pycnonoti, with only feature for separation being length of LSVII, 0.133–0.24 (mean = 0.173).
Female (2). Also close to M. pycnonoti, except as follows. Tergal setae: VIII, 6–10. Anal fringe with 45–48 ventral, 42–46 dorsal setae. Dimensions: LSVII, 0.23–0.27; ANW, 0.26–0.27.
Type material. Ex P. finlaysoni, the Stripe­throated Bulbul, holotype female, Muang Ban Bang Non, Ranang, THAILAND, 26 Aug. 1967, 7E­1503. Paratypes, all ex P. f i n ­ laysoni in THAILAND: 1 male, same as holotype; 3 males, same except 24 Aug. 1967, 7E­1510; 1 male, 1 female, Narathiwat, 4 Sept. 1964, H. E. McClure, H­0950; 1 male, Khao Soi Dao Tai, Chanthaburi, 10 Apr. 1966.
Remarks. The male is recognized by its relatively small dimensions, the longer inner seta on tergite VII, and the structure of the genital sac sclerite. The female is unique with its combination of wide anus, larger number of anal fringe setae, and the modest length of the inner seta on tergite VII. Myrsidea finlaysoni is the only member of this genus known from P. finlaysoni.

Type material. Ex P. c a f e r, the Red­vented Bulbul, holotype male, Bogor, W. JAVA, 30 Nov. 1967, 8E­0335. Paratypes, all ex P. c a f e r in W. JAVA: 7 males, 3 females, same as holotype; 4 males, 4 females, same except 6–30 Nov. 1967, 8 E­0325, 8E­0327, 8E­ 0340; 18 males, 10 females, Botanical Garden, Bogor, 5 Feb. 1967 – 6 Feb. 1970, 8E­0338 to 8E­0820 (8 collections), 9E­0609, X1 E­195.
Remarks. The male of M. kathleenae is distinguished from all other males by the shape and very wide size of the genital sac sclerite (Fig. 8). The wide anus and relatively long inner seta on tergite VII enable female separation. This species is the only known Myrsidea on P. cafer.
Etymology. This species is named for Kathleen A. Hartman, Minneapolis, Minnesota, the elder daughter of the junior author.

Type-genus: Acangassu Galileo and Martins, 2001.
Notes based on study of photographs of holotype of type genus.
Head enlarged anteriorly, remarkably wider than prothorax. Eyes emarginate, coarsely faceted, prominent, occupying entire anterior side until ventral area; upper eye lobes with five rows of ommatidia. Maxillary palpus longer than labial palpus; apical palpomeres fusiform. Antennae 12-segmented, scape cylindrical, slightly curved and widened toward apex. Antennomeres not carinate; III slightly shorter than IV. Prothorax cylindrical, parallelsided, with thin, short lateral spine, located just before middle; prosternal process very narrow. Procoxal cavity closed behind; mesocoxal cavity closed laterally. Elytral apex unarmed. Femora sublinear, unarmed at apex. Tibiae without carina. Abdominal ventrite I as long as II.
Remarks. Galileo & Martins (2001) compared Acangassuini to Ibidionini Thomson, 1861 (currently, Neoibidionini Monné, 2012) and Obriini Mulsant, 1839. Obriini can be easily differentiated from Acangassuini by the laterally rounded prothorax; abdominal ventrite I, in males, longer than II + III; and by the pedunculate-clavate femora. In Acangassuini the prothorax is parallel-sided, abdominal ventrites of males have subequal length and the femora are sublinear. The authors mentioned that Acangassuini is more similar to Neoibidionini due to the slender body shape. Acangassuini differs from Neoibidionini by the prothorax with lateral spine and anterior region of the head remarkably wider than the diameter of the prothorax. Neoibidionini lacks a spine at the sides of prothorax and the head is slightly wider than the prothorax diameter.
In the original description of the tribe, Galileo & Martins (2001) mentioned that in Acangassu Galileo & Martins, 2001, antennomere III is shorter than IV, a character also found in Acangarana gen. nov.; accordingly, we considered it as a tribal feature.

Acangarana

description: Acangarana gen. nov.
Type species: Acangarana santossilvai sp. nov.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the native Brazilian language Tupi-Guarani: Acanga = head; Rana = similar. The name refers to the similar head shape in both genera of the tribe.
Description. Head. Median groove distinct from clypeus to level of antennal tubercles. Gulamentum finely, transversely carinate between lower eye lobes; glabrous toward prothorax; with erect setae sparsely distributed. Distance between upper eye lobes about twice width of one lobe. Antennae about twice length of body, reaching elytral apex at middle of antennomere VI. Surface of scape slightly rugose. Scape, pedicel and external sides of antennomeres III–V with erect, sparse, elongate setae, about twice diameter of respective antennomere; setae at internal sides with about 1/4 of diameter of antennomere; remaining antennomeres only with short setae.
Thorax. Prothorax about 1.25 times longer than wide. Prosternum transversely carinate. Scutellum with pubescence on posterior margins. Elytra long, almost 4 times length of prothorax, roughly punctate; erect setae sparsely distributed; apex truncate.
Legs. Femora and tibiae with setae sparsely distributed on femora and more abundant on tibiae; tarsomere I as long as II + III.
Abdomen. Ventrites I–IV with sparse erect setae; ventrite V truncated at apex, and with abundant setae.
Remarks. Acangarana gen. nov. differs from Acangassu by the distance between the upper eye lobes about twice the width of one lobe, antennae about twice the body length, the antennomeres III–V with erect and elongate setae sparsely distributed and by absence of post-coxal carina in abdominal ventrite I. In Acangassu, the distance between the upper eye lobes is smaller than width of one lobe, the antennae are about 1.5 times the body length, with abundant short setae, and the abdominal ventrite I has post-coxal carina.

In addition to the generic characteristics, Acangarana santossilvai sp. nov. is easily differentiated from Acangassu diminuta Galileo & Martins, 2001 by the reddish-brown integument without spots on the elytra. Acangassu diminuta has reddish integument on the head and prothorax, antennae and legs are yellowish and the elytra are reddish, gradually yellowish toward apex, and with yellowish spots.

Type material. Ex P. plumosus, the Olive­winged Bulbul, holotype male, R. Panjang, MALAYA, 22 Dec. 1961, M­00780. Paratypes, all ex P. plumosus in MALAYA: 1 male, 1 female, same as holotype; 27 males, 26 females, same except 1 Dec. 1961 ­ 22 Nov. 1962, M­00568 to M­01926 (22 collections).
Other material. Ex P. melanicterus (J. F. Gmelin), the Black­crested Bulbul, 9 males, 9 females, THAILAND (11 collections). Ex P. brunneus Blyth, the Red­eyed Bulbul, 4 males, 2 females, MALAYA (3 collections). Ex P. s i m p l e x Lesson, the Cream­vented Bulbul, 2 males, 2 females, MALAYA (3 collections).
Remarks. The shape of the genital sac sclerite and the large dimensions separate the male of this species from others of the group. The female apparently is inseparable from those of M. phillipsi and M. gieferi other than by host association, with those of M. plumosi being found only in Thailand and Malaya and those of the other 2 species found primarily in the Philippines.
