03EF5756FFD7FFB95293752795E4FA4F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype male (Fig. 5 A) has a more concave anterior margin than the paratypes, but it was probably distorted during the preparation of the slide. Despite this fact, we selected this specimen as holotype because it has clearly visible genitalia. On the other hand, all paratype males have an slightly concave anterior margin as in females (Fig. 5 B), but they have distorted genitalia. Brueelia punjabensis (Ansari, 1947), from Megalaima virens (Boddaert, 1783), and Brueelia binhchauensis are the only species of Brueelia known from the family Megalaimidae. Both species are very close morphologically. In particular, they have the same head shape with preantennal region as long as the postantennal and a straight entire marginal carina with slightly concave anterior margin. This feature places both species close to three other species of Brueelia known from Vietnamese birds: B. alophoixi Sychra, 2009, B. elbeli Ansari, 1957 and B. glandarii (Denny, 1842). Both Brueelia binhchauensis and B. punjabensis can be easily separated from B. alophoixi by body shape, the latter being much longer and narrower (see Sychra et al. 2009, figs 1, 3). Brueelia binhchauensis can be separated from B. elbeli and B. glandarii by their different chaetotaxy, especially by the presence of postspiracular acessory and tergal posterior setae on some tergites in both latter species and sutural setae on all tergites in B. glandarii (see Ansari 1956, 1957 b). Finally, Brueelia binhchauensis can be separated from B. punjabensis by the following combination of features: (1) a characteristic chaetotaxy, especially with sutural setae on tergites VI – VIII (Figs 1 A – B); (2) the shape of male genitalia, especially the endomeral complex with large central “ hole ” (Fig. 2 A); and (3) a shorter head (HL not more than 0.45 vs. HL 0.47 – 0.48).	en	Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Kounek, Filip, Papousek, Ivo, Hung, Nguyen Manh (2014): Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) from wild birds in southern Vietnam, with descriptions of two new species.

03EF5756FFD4FFB5529374059354FC3C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Brueelia malacocincla represents the first ischnoceran species found on babblers of the family Pellorneidae. Besides Brueelia hrabali Najer & Sychra, 2012, described from Macronous gularis of the family Timaliidae (Najer et al. 2012 b), B. malacocincla is the second species of Brueelia recorded from babblers in Vietnam. Also, Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838), and B. malacocincla are the only louse species known from babblers of the genus Malacocincla (see Price et al. 2003). Brueelia malacocincla can be easily distinguished from B. hrabali by its completely different shape of head and body, as well as by other features (see Najer et al. 2012 b). Furthermore, B. malacocincla can be morphologically separated from other species of Brueelia known from birds which may occur in Vietnam by the following combination of features: (1) marginal carina straight with lateral interruption (Fig. 4 B); (2) shape of the dorsal head plate, as in Fig. 4 B; (3) the presence of sutural setae on tergites II – III; (4) the characteristic shape of male genitalia with oval endomeral plate with central straight sclerotizations (Fig. 4 A).	en	Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Kounek, Filip, Papousek, Ivo, Hung, Nguyen Manh (2014): Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) from wild birds in southern Vietnam, with descriptions of two new species.
