Goniocotes gallinae (DeGeer, 1778) 



Ricinus gallinae DeGeer, 1778. Mem. Hist. Ins., 7: 79, pi. 4, 



fig. 15. 



Philopterus hologaster Nitzsch, 1818. Germar's Mag. Ent., 3: 294 



(nn for R. gallinae DeGeer, 1778). 



Type host: Chicken. 



This species has 2 long setae on the temporal lobes directed caudad; 

 abdominal segments with very slender lateral bands which are widely 

 separated medially; color pale yellow. This mallophagan is known as the 

 "fluff louse". 



I did not actively collect Mallophaga from domestic chickens 

 during the course of this study but I have seen this species collected 

 from a Ruffed Grouse, Pittsfield, N. H. , March 2, 1964, A. H. Mason. 

 The USNM also has several slides of this species collected from the 

 same host.
