“…Remarks. This species was previously described from Saltator maximus and Saltator striatipectus Lafresnaye, 1847 from Costa Rica, Panamá and Venezuela (Price et al 2008c). Our host records are new host-louse associations for M. lightae and the first records of this louse species from Honduras and Paraguay.…”

“…Our specimens differ from the original description of Myrsidea lightae by setal counts and dimensions, as follows (data from Price et al 2008c Remarks. Myrsidea rufi was described from Trinidad & Tobago and also found on the type host in Brazil (Silva 2013).…”

“…Comparing our sequence with other known sequences of Neotropical Myrsidea, the closest was that of Myrsidea rozsai Price & Johnson, 2009 from Euphonia lanniirostris (A/N FJ171282), with a sequence divergence of 11.9%. This divergence is on the border of the interspecific variation limit for Myrsidea species as proposed in this paper.…”

“…That is the reason for a combined approach, where morphology is supported with genetic data, as it was done in recent descriptions of Myrsidea (e.g. Johnson & Price 2006;Price & Johnson 2006a,b;Price et al 2008a,b,c;Price & Johnson 2009;Valim et al 2011;Valim & Weckstein 2013;Sychra et al 2014a,b). Therefore, we need to resolve taxonomic limits in the genetic data as well, considering that in some cases it is extremely difficult to find species boundaries with DNA data (see Cognato 2006).…”

Eleven species of lice of the genus Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 (Phthiraptera: Menoponidae) from passerine birds (Passeriformes: Cardinalidae, Fringillidae, Thraupidae) in the Neotropical Region are recorded and discussed. They include three new species with hosts in the family Thraupidae from Paraguay, which are described and illustrated: Myrsidea flaveolae new species ex Sicalis flaveola, Myrsidea habiae new species ex Habia rubica, and Myrsidea sayacae new species ex Thraupis sayaca. Five other previously known Myrsidea species are included with new data on intraspecific morphological variability, hosts associations and geographical distribution, as follows: Myrsidea coronatae, M. lightae, M. rufi, M. seminuda, and M. violaceae. Three further species are recorded at genus level only due to lack of adequate material. A 379 bp portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was sequenced in order to assess relative genetic divergence among Myrsidea populations. The application of intra-and interspecific sequence divergences as predictor of species boundaries in the taxonomy of this megadiverse genus is discussed.
