The objective of this work was to identify the species of chewing lice collected from thirty wild birds from the town of Zungarococha, Iquitos (Peru). We identified 11 specimens from a total of 36 collected. The species Columbicola passerinae (Wilson, 1941) presented the largest number of hosts, and Motmotnirmus marginellus (Nitzsch, 1874) and Docophorus rufus (Kellogg, 1899) presented the highest prevalence, intensity, and average abundance. This study reports 11 species of lice for the first time, and new host associations, expanding the list of host birds in Peru.
