Description
This
monograph of the Fauna Ibérica Series is devoted to
the suborder Amblycera, and is the first part of a study
on Mallophaga (insect ectoparasites of birds and mammals)
found in the Ibero-Balearic area. The 79 lice species examined
(from 28 genera and 8 different
families) are bird parasites, and were collected on 89 birds
species from 16 out of the 17 orders that exist in the area.
The book is illustrated with 44 plates and contains several
introductory chapters on general Mallophagan study. The second
part of the monograph includes morphological characters and
classification of Amblycera, as well as descriptions and
dichotomical identification keys for families, genera and
species. Also included in this volume are data on the geographical
distribution and biology of each Amblycera species and on
its parasitized hosts, as well as an updated bibliography,
two appendices containing complete taxonomic nomenclature
and a list of host birds on both the Iberian Peninsula and
the Balearic Islands.
