ABSTRACT

This paper presents a list of 131 Mallophaga type specimens deposited in the Werneck Collection of Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil. It includes 69 holotypes, 62 allotypes, 683 paratypes, 1 syntype and 2 neoparatypes, distributed among 6 families and 35 genera. The types are listed with their respective data and literature.

Keywords: type specimens - Mallophaga - chewing lice - Werneck Collection - Instituto Oswaldo Cruz - Rio de Janeiro - Brazil

The Werneck Collection derives from field captures undertaken by Fabio Leoni Werneck, and also by other researchers, from 1888 to 1960, in Brazil (14 states), and in other countries (51 countries, and three islands). The Werneck Collection also includes specimens donated to the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC) in Rio de Janeiro by several other institutions from Brazil and abroad. In 1961, this collection was closed after the death of this dedicated researcher, being thereafter referred as a historical collection. The Werneck Collection includes insects of medical and veterinary importance such as Mallophaga, Anoplura, Siphonaptera and Hemiptera.

The present work represents the continuation of an ongoing effort to review and update the information available in the insect collections maintained at the Entomology Department of the IOC-Fiocruz. Recently, a list including 34 type specimens of sucking lice (Anoplura) also from the Werneck Collection was published, contributing to the recognition of its importance and helping to make available this rich source of scientific information (Cardozo-de-Almeida et al. 1999).

The Werneck Collection is part of the Entomological Collection (EC) of IOC, which is one of the largest and most expressive in Latin America with, nowadays, approximately 2 million specimens. Several other historical collections are part of the EC, which also includes a "general collection" representing all the insect orders. Following the guidelines prescribed by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, different authors have published lists of the type specimens included in the EC of IOC: Gonçalves et al. (1993), Marchon-Silva et al. (1996), Ferraz (1997), Cardozo-de-Almeida et al. (1999) and Felippe-Bauer and Oliveira (2001). Entomological collections are indispensable for the modern taxonomy, since the study of the comparative characters has been considering the starting point to new scientific investigations (Martins 1983).

The Werneck Collection is represented by 4,069 slides deposited in 136 wood slide-boxes containing 30 slides each. Records of this material are kept in 9 protocol-books, and archives (which include 5,285 index-cards) with information such as: locality, date, host species identification, record number, sex, slide number, collector identification, number of samples per slide, and the louse species identification. There are also several unidentified specimens kept in 373 flasks.

The Mallophaga specimens deposited in the Werneck Collection are preserved in 2,823 slides representing 369 species of 73 genera. These include 131 type species (69 holotypes and 62 allotypes), and 683 paratypes, 1 syntype and 2 neoparatypes, distributed among 35 genera, a total of 817 type specimens.

Lyal (1985), based on cladistic analysis of the characters, presented a classification with these two groups of lice (Mallophaga and Anoplura) included in a single order Phthiraptera, comprising four sub-orders: Anoplura, Rhynchophthirina, Ischnocera, and Amblycera. However, because other phylogenetic analyses did not reach the same conclusion (Kim & Ludwig 1978, Kim 1988), Mallophaga is here considered as an insect order. A list of 131 Mallophaga type specimens deposited in the Werneck Collection is presented in this current paper. The methodology here applied was the same of Cardozo-de-Almeida et al. (1999). Main synonymies are indicated in the text. Other synonymies for chewing lice can be found in Hopkins (1949). Mammal taxonomy follows that presen-ted by Wilson and Reeder (1993), also available by Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in web (www.nmnh.si.edu/msw). For birds, the specific names are in accordance with informations available at http://birdingonthe.net/ as Sibley and Monroe world list of birds. A list of host synonymy is also presented after the Mallophaga type specimens.

The chewing lice are small wingless insects, ectoparasites of mammals and birds. Because they go through all their biological cycle among the fur and feathers of their hosts, most Mallophaga have developed a high level of specificity to them (Linardi 2001). So, such as Anoplura, they are of fundamental importance to studies on co-evolution with their respective hosts (Hopkins 1949, Vanzolini & Guimarães 1955, Barker 1994).

Their chewing buccal apparatus is adapted to triturate feathers, epidermic scales and fur. Some species can also eventually ingest blood flowing due to some host skin damage.

The chewing lice, that parasitize birds, are in general more harmful, mainly the ones living on domestic birds. The effects of the chewing lice can be reflected in the decrease of productivity of their hosts. In mammals, the constant bites in high infestations cause damage to the skin leading to wounds. One species, Trichodectes canis, is incriminated as the intermediary host of the Dipylidium caninum.

DISCUSSION

Currently, the Order Mallophaga is composed of approximately 3,000 species grouped in 10 families. Of this total, 369 (12.3%) are represented in the Werneck Collection. From all of the described species, 467 are ectoparasites found on 356 different species of mammals, depending basically in which methodology is applied during the insect's collection (Emerson & Price 1981).

In addition to the type species presented in the list of species, there are still three other paratypes from which the year of the species' description could not be found: Goniodes spinicornis dubiculus Eichler (register 3266) with 1 male (slide 3814), and 1 female (slide 3813); Neo-docophorus asionis Eichler (register 2935) with 1 female (slide 3628), and Bovicola nippon Nakagawa(register 3895) with 1 female (slide 4022).

According to Emerson and Price (1981) the mammal orders can be found infested in the following percentages: Proboscidea (100%), Hyracoidea (81.8%), Carnivora (42.9%), Artiodactyla (38.5%), Perissodactyla (37.5%), Marsupialia (16.9%), Edentata (6.3%), Primates (5.9%) and Rodentia (5.7%).

The contribution of Werneck for the improvement of our knowledge on Mallophaga is highly important since he described 199 species registered all over the world. This represents 42.6% of all species that infest mammals.

In Brazil, of 74 species found of Mallophaga that infest mammals (Werneck 1948 and 1950, Emerson & Price 1983, Linardi et al. 1991), 40 were described by Werneck (54.1%). The majority of the species are included in the genera Gliricola and Gyropus. In South American countries, from other 39 species, 15 (38.5%) were also described by that author. Because of the proximity of certain biomes, some of the species reported for other South American countries probably may be also found in Brazil. It is important to stress that in Venezuela, with a geographic area approximately nine times smaller than Brazil, Emerson and Price (1975) were able to record 56 species of Mallophaga infesting mammals.
