0392E574FFD10C71FF61FB92FC0FF9FB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Philopterus sp. represents the first record of a chewing louse from Niltava davidi. Our samples most likely belong to Philopterus davuricae Fedorenko & Volkov, 1977 (type host: Muscicapa dauurica Pallas, 1811), but the description of this species is insufficient to identify our material with certainty. The two morphological features mentioned by Fedorenko & Volkov (1977) as characteristic of P. davuricae agree with those in our specimens but, also, the same features are found in Philopterus mugimaki Fedorenko & Volkov, 1977 (type host: Ficedula mugimaki (Temminck, 1835 )). Furthermore, there is no known record of a male for either species, so our species identification would have to rely on females only, which is not satisfactory for this genus. Therefore, we regard our record of Philopterus from Niltava davidi as undetermined at the species level, because (1) we were not able to compare our specimens with the type material of Philopterus davuricae and Philopterus mugimaki, and (2) because males are needed for a reliable identification of Philopterus species.	en	Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Hung, Nguyen Manh, Capek, Miroslav, Podzemny, Petr, Literak, Ivan (2012): Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) from wild passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in northern Vietnam, with descriptions of three new species.

0392E574FFD60C77FF61FE1AFF1BF883.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Myrsidea annae is the first species of chewing lice known from fulvettas of the genus Alcippe; it can easily be distinguished from other Myrsidea known from the family Timaliidae by the following characteristics: (1) fully developed hypopharynx; (2) considerably enlarged female abdominal tergites (Fig. 1 A); (3) male genital sac sclerite with short subapical projection on each side and with concave posterior margin (Fig. 1 E). Tandan (1972) reviewed the species of Myrsidea parasitic on birds belonging to the family Timaliidae, and included separate male and female keys to their identification. In the key to Myrsidea females, M. annae sp. nov. keys to couplet 3, being closest to M. manipurensis Tandan, 1972 and M. duplicita Tandan, 1972. It is readily distinguished from both aforementioned species by its different abdominal tergal configuration. In the key to Myrsidea males, M. annae sp. nov. keys to couplet 4, being closest to M. bhutanensis Tandan, 1972. It can be separable from that of M. bhutanensis by genital sac sclerite and smaller number of setae on tergite VII (9 – 10 vs. 15 – 17). Five of eight birds examined were parasitized by Myrsidea annae. Etymology. This species is named in remembrance of the late Anna Pospisilova, a close friend of the first author.	en	Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Hung, Nguyen Manh, Capek, Miroslav, Podzemny, Petr, Literak, Ivan (2012): Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) from wild passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in northern Vietnam, with descriptions of three new species.

0392E574FFD40C74FF61FF3BFE7CF92D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Brueelia hrabali is the first species of chewing lice known from babblers of the genus Macronous. It can be morphologically separated from other species of the genus Brueelia known from birds which may occur in Vietnam, by the following combinations of features: (1) the shape of the head and body; (2) dorsal head plate with two lateral and one central pointed projections (Fig. 3 A); (3) the characteristic two-colored tergal plates, as in Figs. 6 C and 6 D; (4) male genitalia with short parameres and rectangle-shaped endomeral plate with two central oval plates (Figs. 3 C and 3 D); (5) the high ratio of abdomen length to body length. Brueelia hrabali appears to be much longer than other species of Brueelia known from the family Timaliidae, except for Brueelia impressifrons Ansari, 1956 a, although Brueelia hrabali can be distinguished from the latter by the features mentioned above. Two of nine birds examined were parasitized by Brueelia hrabali.	en	Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Hung, Nguyen Manh, Capek, Miroslav, Podzemny, Petr, Literak, Ivan (2012): Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) from wild passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in northern Vietnam, with descriptions of three new species.

0392E574FFDB0C7FFF61FB97FA7DFF61.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Brueelia neodaumae is the second species of Brueelia known from Zoothera dauma, after Brueelia daumae (Clay, 1936). Compared with all species of Brueelia known from birds that occur in Vietnam (Price et. al. 2003), B. neodaumae is most similar to Brueelia merulensis (Denny, 1842) from Turdus merula, and Brueelia myiophoneae (Clay, 1936) from Myophonus caeruleus. However, B. neodaumae can be separated from those two species by the following combination of features: (1) shape of the head and the dorsal anterior head plate, as in Figs. 5 C; (2) male genitalia with stout parameres and endomeral complex with conspicuously serrated Y-shaped anterior end (Fig. 5 A); (3) shape and chaetotaxy of female subgenital plate, as in Fig. 5 D. Brueelia neodaumae is morphologically closer to Brueelia myiophoneae, from which it can be distinguished by: (A) the shape of the tergal plates VII – IX (narrowed in the middle in Brueelia myiophoneae, rectangular in Brueelia neodaumae); (B) the shape of male genitalia, especially endomeral complex with conspicuously serrated Y-shaped anterior end (Fig. 5 A) and (C) smaller dimension, especially TW (0.49 – 0.50 vs. 0.54 for male and 0.52 – 0.53 vs. 0.58 for female). Only one bird was examined.	en	Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Hung, Nguyen Manh, Capek, Miroslav, Podzemny, Petr, Literak, Ivan (2012): Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) from wild passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in northern Vietnam, with descriptions of three new species.
