“…Likewise, Price et al (2003) and Smith et al (2020) men length 1057 (974 -1100), abdomen width 580 (552 -617). Comment: Colpocephalum turbinatum is considered a generalist species since it has been reported parasitizing different orders of birds, such as Columbiformes, Falconiformes, Accipitriformes, Ciconiformes and Galliformes by various authors in different countries (Martín, 2006;Parra-Henao et al, 2011;Adly et al, 2019). This species has been recorded for the first time in Peru in the study of Dale (1970) parasitizing C. livia, this relationship coincides with our study where the association is also observed.…”

Research on ectoparasites in birds involving lice, mites, fleas, ticks, and flies has been intensifying in recent years (McAllister et al., 2018; Hasan, 2019). The importance of the studies of ectoparasites of birds includes different aspects among which the influence that they have on their hosts stands out, as well as the conditioning that can cause the parasitic load in the behavior, feeding, reproduction and migration of the birds (Clayton et al., 2010; Hicks et al., 2018). Chewing lice (Amblycera and Ischnocera) belonging to the order Phthiraptera are obligate and specific ectoparasites of birds and mammals (Parra-Henao et al.

“…Analysis of biogeographical data of predator or parasite species helps in studying their distribution in different regions and provides an essential tool for conservation planning and biological control strategies (Brown and Lomolino 1998;Ladle and Whittaker 2011;Nasser et al 2015Nasser et al , 2019aKeerthi et al 2020). There are several insect groups which face neglection in their ecological study in Egypt (Abutaleb et al 2019;Adly et al 2019). Accordingly, the present study was conducted and focused on calculating the zoogeographical affinities of mantises and modeling the distribution pattern of Mantodea as a group in different Egyptian ecological zones, estimating species richness, analyzing bioclimatic, and geographical factors that contribute to such distribution using GIS and for better understanding the ecology of these charismatic predators.…”

Background Egypt forms a home for the highest number of recorded Mantodea species of the Palaearctic Region. The status and ecology of such diversity are far from being completely understood. Main body Through this study, the similarity of Mantodea species composition among Egyptian ecological zones has been examined by using the Sørensen-Dice coefficient, beside the calculation of species richness for each zone. Also, maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling was used to estimate the potential distribution of Mantodea species throughout the country. Three topographical and 19 bioclimatic variables have been used to estimate the current status of all Mantodea species in Egypt. The collected materials of adult mantis have been used to analyze the seasonality of 14 Egyptian common genera. Our results indicated that there was a high faunal similarity between the Western and Eastern deserts, the coastal strip, and the lower Nile valley. The lowest similarity was between Gebel Elba and all other zones. The analysis of habitat suitability of Mantodea in Egypt was fragmentary and focused on different distinct ecological zones. Altitude was the most effective ecological factor that affected Mantodea distribution as a group. Analysis of seasonality data of the common genera of Mantodea indicated that all are found in summer except for Miomantis, Severinia, and Sinaiella. Conclusion Our results can be used as a basis for future studies of the ecology of certain species and conservation of this interesting group in Egypt.

“…The collected chewing lice were preserved in 95% ethyl alcohol, then cleared using lactic acid for 2 days. Finally, specimens were mounted by using Puri's media (Nasser et al 2019). Chewing lice species identification was done according to Kellogg andPaine (1914), Ewing (1930), Thompson (1948).…”

“…The genus Dennyus has never been recorded before in the Middle East. Therefore, exploration of such neglected ectoparasites of a special bird group, such as swifts, is essential to describe parasite diversity in the region (Adly et al 2019, Adly et al 2020.…”

Very little is known about the chewing lice fauna of Saudi Arabia especially from swifts (Apodidae). Swifts are common resident and migratory birds throughout Saudi Arabia. Two chewing lice genera are known for parasitising swifts throughout the world: Dennyus Neumann, 1906 and Eureum Nitzsch, 1818, none of which have been recorded from the Kingdom before. Two species of resident wild swifts were examined for chewing lice for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Two rare lice species were identified: D. (Dennyus) hirundinis (Linnaeus, 1761) and Dennyus sp. (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) infesting the common swift Apus apus (Linnaeus, 1758) and African palm swift Cypsiurus parvus (Lichtenstein, 1823), respectively. The described chewing lice species are considered as new country records. They will be added to the Saudi Arabia parasitic fauna. Taxonomical and ecological remarks were provided for the identified chewing lice through this work, along with notes on swift/chewing lice interaction.
