TYPE SPECIMENS OF LICE (ORDER ANOPLURA) IN THE 

 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



By Phyllis T. Johnson^ 



It has been recommended in the Copenhagen Decisions on Zoological 

 Nomenclature (1953) that: "All institutions maintaining zoological 

 collections should prepare and publish lists of type material in their 

 possession." (Recommendation 75, p. 78, par. 150.) The present 

 paper includes the names of all the Anoplura represented by the type 

 in the U. S. National Museum as of Dec. 31, 1956. As a rule, reference 

 is made only to holotypes and syntypes, paratypes being mentioned 

 only where it is necessary to clarify the data or otherwise aid in the 

 fixing of holotypes and lectotypes. The specific name is given under 

 the genus to which it is now assigned, with a brief comment on its 

 present status. If host names given in the type data have been changed 

 since the original description of the Anoplura species, the currently 

 accepted name is placed in brackets following the original form of the 

 name. Appended is an alphabetical listing of the specific names of 

 the Anoplura together with their currently accepted generic names. 

 If the generic name differs from that designated by the author of the 

 species, the original genus is given in brackets.
