Type species: Allobrueelia amsel Eichler, 1951: 9, [= Guimaraesiella amsel (Eichler, 1951)]. By original designation.

Remarks. Allobrueelia Eichler 1951, is a junior synonym of Guimaraesiella sensu stricto as demonstrated by Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 221). However, Mey’s (2017: 176) definition of this genus appears to be based entirely on host relationships, regardless of louse morphology. As a result, Mey’s (2017: 176) list of 25 species included in Allobrueelia contains three species that are morphologically very different from Guimaraesiella, and thus belong in other genera within the Brueelia -complex, and one of which is a junior synonym, as follows:

Allobrueelia antimarginalis (Eichler, 1951) belongs in Brueelia sensu stricto, where Eichler (1951: 12) originally placed it. Subsequently, Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 38) confirmed Eichler’s generic placement.

Allobrueelia busharae (Ansari, 1955) belongs in in the subgenus Guimaraesiella (Mohoaticus), as discussed above.

Allobrueelia cambayensis (Ansari, 1955) belongs in Brueelia sensu stricto, as established by Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 38).

Allobrueelia carrikeri (Ansari, 1955) belongs in Traihoriella Ansari, 1947, as suggested by Mey & Barker (2014) and confirmed by Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 165).

Allobrueelia z. zeropunctata (Ansari, 1957) belongs in Guimaraesiella but is a junior synonym of Guimaraesiella antiqua (Ansari, 1956c), as established by Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 223).
