| Abstract | The Strigiphilus cursitans group of chewing lice is analysed, including a thorough review of group characters, reconsideration of the groups composition, rediscription of its constitute taxa, and a key for the identification of those taxa. Twenty-one species are redescribed, one of which is divided into three subspecies. Thirteen synonymies are given, seven of which are new. A neotype is designated for S. syrnii (Packard). |
