            <p> Genus  Myrsidea Waterston</p>
            <p> Myrsidea Waterston 1915:12 . Type species:  Myrsidea victrix Waterston by original designation. </p>
            <p>A thorough characterization of this genus may be found in Clay (1966). We provide here only the diagnostic characters that are of significance in defining the genus as it pertains to the tyrannid lice.</p>
            <p>Head (Fig. 5) evenly rounded anteriorly; lacking lateral slit or notch; with long inner occipital setae, minute outer; without ventral sclerotized processes; gula usually with 4–5 setae on each side, less often 3 or 6, with heavier longer posterior seta; hypopharyngeal sclerites well developed.</p>
            <p>Thorax (Fig. 5) with pronotum lacking central setae; with 3 short setae at each lateral angle and 6 longer posterior marginal setae. Mesonotum well defined, with 2 minute medioanterior setae adjacent to postnotum and 2 minute setae at posterior margin. Metanotum without central setae, but with 6 short setae around periphery. Prosternal plate well developed, elongate, with 2 short anterior setae; mesothorax with notum, pleura, and sternum fused to form strongly sclerotized ring; metasternal plate prominent, diamond shaped, usually with 6 setae, much less often 5, 7, or 8; venter of femur III with setal brush.</p>
            <p>Abdomen with undivided tergites, without anterior setae except for very small seta at corner of each side of tergite I (not included in tergal count); sternite I small, usually without setae; sternite II enlarged, with aster of heavy setae at each posterior corner. Female anus oval, without inner setae; subgenital plate of fused sternites VII–IX, usually with lightly serrated posterior margin. Male subgenital plate of fused sternites VIII–IX; genitalia of characteristic shape (Fig. 6), with spinous sac having distinctively shaped associated sclerite.</p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism is limited to males having smaller dimensions, sparser abdominal chaetotaxy, and differences of the posterior abdomen. Some females may have enlargement of anterior abdominal tergites. Male tergites are unmodified, with pattern of postspiracular setal lengths much as for female. Characters listed above for the genus will not be repeated in the species descriptions.</p>

            <p> magnidens species group </p>
            <p> The two species of this group, representing the only previously described species of  Myrsidea from the  Tyrannidae , are characterized as having both sexes with a much larger number of abdominal tergal and/or sternal setae than any other known species from this family. The females have only a modest enlargement of the anterior abdominal tergites (Figs. 1, 3). Although the host identities of both species are uncertain, this group is morphologically distinctive from other  Myrsidea species with known host associations with the  Tyrannidae . </p>

            <p> Material. Male holotype, female allotype of  M. magnidens , ex  P. sulphuratus rufipennis , VENEZUELA. </p>
            <p> Remarks. Stafford (1943) described  Myrsidea magnidens from a series of two females and two males, retaining the holotype and allotype in his personal collection and placing the other pair in the Caracas collection. The eight figures accompanying this description are poor, small, and lacking in detail, but they were sufficient to alert us to the necessity of obtaining and studying the types to define the species properly. We originally thought it most likely that the series we had from  P. sulphuratus (L.) from Trinidad and Costa Rica represented  Myrsidea magnidens . However, differences in the number of tergal and sternal setae, as well as the unique male genital sac sclerite and other features for  Myrsidea magnidens , made it obvious that we were dealing with two distinctly different species. </p>
            <p>Carriker (1955:1–3), in his characteristic bluntness, though in language normally reserved for private correspondence, described the Stafford (1943) specimens and publication as follows: “Unfortunately I found the slides in a sad state. Apparently the flood which had severely damaged the offices of the Department of Hygiene in Caracas had also taken its toll of the box of slides. Many of the labels had become loosened due to the wetting and were scattered about so that it was a long, tedious task to replace them on the proper slides...Out of 17 species which were identified by Stafford, and of which specimens are still in the collection, only two are correctly named, while the hosts of quite a number were in error, including two of the new species...There is no excuse for the publication of such utterly useless rubbish, since it only adds more confusion to that in which the unfortunate Mallophaga have been swamped for so long, and from which they are now emerging, thanks to the tireless work of a number of our modern workers on this fascinating group of insects.” The marginal quality of Stafford’s original taxonomy, together with the history of these type specimens, raises considerable doubt as to the accuracy of their host identification. It should be noted that Stafford did not collect the specimens or identify the hosts and that he never published another paper on chewing lice.</p>

            <p> Myrsidea stenodesma (Carriker) (Fig. 3) </p>
            <p> Menopon stenodesmum Carriker 1903: 184 . Type host:  Empidonax atriceps Salvin, Black –capped Flycatcher. </p>
            <p>Female. Metanotum and dorsal abdomen as in Fig. 3. Metanotum with 15 marginal setae. Tergites I–III enlarged, with II–VI having slight medioposterior convexity and VII–VIII unmodified. Tergal setae: I, 30; II, 40; III, 33; IV–V, 35–36; VI, 39; VII, 30; VIII, 20. Postspiracular setae with some missing or broken, but those on II and VII–VIII apparently very long, much shorter than on I and III–VI. Sternal setae: II, each aster with 4 setae, other setae obscured; III, 28; IV–V, 32–34; VI, 27; VII, 14; VIII–IX of subgenital plate, 21. Anus with 31 dorsal fringe setae, 34 ventral.

            <p>Male. Metanotum with obscured marginal setae. Tergal setae: I, 28; II–VI, 35–37; VII, 32; VIII, 24. Sternal setae: II, each aster with 4 setae, 33 other setae; III–VI, 30–35; VII, 18; VIII, obscured. Genital sac sclerite obscured. Dimensions: TW, 0.42; HL &amp; PW, 0.28; PSL, 0.10; MW, 0.35; MSL, 0.14; AWIV, 0.44; GL, 0.41; TL, 1.26.</p>
            <p> Material. Female holotype, male allotype of  Menopon stenodesmum , ex  E. atriceps , COSTA RICA. </p>
            <p> Remarks. Even with the extremely poor condition of the two type specimens that Carriker (1903) used for the description of this species, the large number of tergal and/or sternal setae for both sexes readily separates it from all other tyrannid  Myrsidea except for  M. magnidens . Both sexes of  M. stenodesma , with smaller dimensions and fewer abdominal sternal setae, are easily separated from  M. magnidens . Carriker (1903) provided a description for the female and figured only that sex, with no mention of the male specimen in his type series; hence, that female is the holotype. Strangely, the male specimen carries the NMNH holotype number on the back of the slide. Since both sexes provide the same excellent separation from other tyrannid  Myrsidea , the sex of the holotype is of little significance. </p>
            <p>By modern standards, Carriker was not a very good technician, even taking into consideration the primitive facilities available to him. Many specimens in his collection were attributed to the wrong host. Lice, especially menoponids, readily move from one host to another as dead birds cool when placed together in a collecting bag. Cross­contamination also may have occurred on the preparation table. In the absence of additional louse specimens, Carriker’s host determinations are best treated with caution. It is ironic, given the scathing rebuke of Stafford (1943) in Carriker (1955), that Carriker’s own methods appear to be suspect.</p>

            <p> Type material. Holotype female (NMNH), ex  T. melancholicus , TRINIDAD: Fort Read, 2 Jul 1954, T. H. G. Aitken, Lot 54­12322. Paratypes (NMNH, TNHM, RCD), all ex  T. melancholicus : TRINIDAD: 1 female, Bush Bush Forest, Nariva Swamp, 28 May 1963, G. Aitken, TRVL 6634; 1 male, Sangre Grande, 24 Dec 1957, W. G. Downs, TRVL 6; COSTA RICA: 1 female, 6 males, Las Cruces Biological Station, Cota Brus, 18–21 Apr 1992, R. L. Fisher 146. </p>
            <p> Remarks. Although this species is very close to  Myrsidea seversoni , females are separable from the latter by the postspiracular seta on V being distinctly shorter than the ones on IV and VI. The absence of males for  M. seversoni makes differentiation for that sex impossible, other than inferring that the postspiracular setae will eventually prove to be similar for both sexes. </p>

            <p> Type material. Holotype female (NMNH), ex  M. barbatus , COSTA RICA: San Jose Prov., Tinamaste, 12 km SW San Isidro de El General, 1 Feb 2000, Fisher &amp; J.S. 3088. Paratypes (NMNH, TNHM, RCD), all ex  M. barbatus : COSTA RICA: 1 female, 2 males, same as holotype; 2 males, same except 3085; 1 male, Monte Anvio Lodge, 13 km N Portero Grande Puntarenas, 20 Mar 1995, Fisher &amp; J.S. 2097; VENEZUELA: 3 females, Edo.

Lyal &amp; A. Hutson. </p>
            <p> Remarks. The male of  Myrsidea barbati is readily separated from males of others of this group by its highly distinctive genital sac sclerite (Fig. 10). The female is recognized by its small number of setae on the metanotal margin, in conjunction with not&gt;33 setae on sternites V–VI, not&gt;32 setae in each anal fringe, and the narrow anus &lt;0.20 wide. The small dimensions and the relative lengths of the postspiracular setae for both sexes will also separate this species from a number of the others. </p>

            <p>Female. Dorsal thorax and dorsoventral abdomen much as in Fig. 9. Metanotum with 6–9 marginal setae. Tergites II–III with slight medioposterior convexity. Tergal setae: I, 11–12; II, 13–15; III–IV, 14–17; V–VI, 14–15; VII, 9–13; VIII, 8. Postspiracular setae on III and V–VI much shorter than very long postspiracular setae on other segments.

            <p> Type material. Holotype female (NMNH), ex  T. flaviventris , TRINIDAD: Sangre Grande, Melajo For, 15 May 1956, W. G. Downs, TRVL 207. Paratypes (NMNH, TNHM, RCD), all ex  T. flaviventris : TRINIDAD: 1 male, same data as holotype; 2 females, 2 males, Caroni River, 4 Jan 1961, TRVL 5257; 1 male, Naparima Mayaro Road, 23 Jul 1968, E.

            <p> Remarks. The small number of marginal metanotal setae, the moderate dimensions, and the lengths of the postspiracular setae ally females of  Myrsidea flaviventris with those of  M. barbati and separate both of these species from all others of this group. The females of these two species may be separated from each other by the number of setae in each anal fringe, the width of the anus, and the number of sternal setae on V–VI. The males are recognized by their respective distinctive genital sac sclerites (Fig. 12 vs Fig. 10). </p>

            <p> Remarks. The female of  Myrsidea similis is distinguished from others of the group by its postspiracular setal configuration in conjunction with the large number of marginal metanotal and tergite II setae, the wide anus with its large number of fringe setae, and the large dimensions. The male genital sac sclerite is similar to those of  M. flaviventris and  M. elaeniae of this group, but the male of  M. similis may be separated from them by its having more setae on tergites VII–VIII and sternites IV–V, only 3 setae in each sternite II aster, and tendency for greater temple width. </p>

            <p> Remarks. The consistently 12 marginal metanotal setae separate the female from all others of this group. The male of  Myrsidea elaeniae , with the genital sac sclerite similar to that in Fig. 12, is close to  M. similis and  M. flaviventris of this group. It is tenuously separable from  M. similis by having fewer setae on tergites VII–VIII and sternites IV–V and from  M. flaviventris by differences in tergal and sternal setae counts. </p>

            <p>Remarks. Though this new species is based on a single pair, the female, with its highly distinctive development of the anterior abdominal tergites and the large number of tergal setae, is easily separated from all other species of this group. A few quantitative features appear to support male separation, but there is need for additional material.</p>

            <p> Remarks. The female, with the modified anterior tergites, is closest to  Myrsidea cayanensis , from which it is separable by its shorter postspiracular setae on VI–VII, a different spiculation configuration on the subgenital plate margin, 12 marginal metanotal setae, smaller dimensions, and more tergal setae on IV–VII. The male is identifiable by differences in its dimensions, quantitative chaetotaxy, and form of the genital sac sclerite. </p>
