Allobrueelia Eichler, 1951: 36 .

Allobrueelia Eichler, 1952: 74 .

Allonirmus Złotorzycka, 1964: 263 .

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).
