Priceiella (Camurnirmus) lindquistae Gustafsson, Clayton , & Bush, new species

( Figs 57–63 View FIGURES 57–58 View FIGURES 59–63 )

Type host. Ianthocincla chinensis chinensis (Scopoli 1786) —black-throated laughing-thrush ( Leiothrichidae ).

Type locality. Shiwandashan National Park , Guangxi Province, China.

Diagnosis. Priceiella (Camurnirmus) lindquistae n. sp. is closely related to P. (C.) sonorae n. sp., with which it shares the following characters: female subgenital plate with medial reticulation ( Figs 63 View FIGURES 59–63 , 70 View FIGURES 66–70 ); parameres elongate and widely diverging distally ( Figs 62 View FIGURES 59–63 , 69 View FIGURES 66–70 ); antennae sexually dimorphic ( Figs 57–58 View FIGURES 57–58 , 64–65 View FIGURES 64–65 ); dorsal preantennal suture absent ( Figs 59 View FIGURES 59–63 , 66 View FIGURES 66–70 ); no tps on female tergopleurite VIII ( Figs 58 View FIGURES 57–58 , 65 View FIGURES 64–65 ). These two species can be separated on the following characters: ps present on female abdominal segment III in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig. 58 View FIGURES 57–58 ) but absent in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 64–65 ); basal apodeme barely or not constricted at mid-length in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig. 60 View FIGURES 59–63 ), but with considerably constriction at mid-length in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 67 View FIGURES 66–70 ); gonopore long and slender with long anterior projection and hook-shaped distal ends in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 59–63 ), but short and broad with short anterior projection and without hooks in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 68 View FIGURES 66–70 ); proximal mesosome gently rounded in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig 61 View FIGURES 59–63 ) but more angular in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 68 View FIGURES 66–70 ); parameres much longer in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig. 62 View FIGURES 59–63 ) than in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 66–70 ); pst1–2 close together in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 69 View FIGURES 66–70 ), but widely separated in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig. 62 View FIGURES 59–63 ); female subgenital plate more constricted at base of cross-piece in P. (C.) sonorae ( Fig. 70 View FIGURES 66–70 ) than in P. (C.) lindquistae ( Fig. 63 View FIGURES 59–63 ), but vulval chaetotaxy overlaps between these two species.

Description. Both sexes. Head pentagonal ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 59–63 ). Frons broad, concave. Dorsal preantennal suture absent. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 59 View FIGURES 59–63 . Antennae sexually dimorphic. Base pigmentation pale yellowish brown; marginal and marginal temporal carinae, head nodi, proepimera, metepisterna and pleural incrassations dark, slightly reddish, brown; gular plate, margins of antennal sockets, sternal plates IV–VI, subgenital plates and lateral sections of tergopleurites medium brown; metasternum and sternal plates II–III pale brown.

Male. Scape swollen and elongated ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 59–63 ). Pteronotum with 7–9 mms on each side. Abdominal plates and chaetotaxy as in Fig. 57 View FIGURES 57–58 . Male genitalia as in Figs 60–62 View FIGURES 59–63 . Basal apodeme roughly rectangular, barely or not expanded in anterior end ( Fig. 60 View FIGURES 59–63 ). Proximal mesosome broad, gently rounded ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 59–63 ). Mesosomal lobes comparatively slender. Marginal thickening of mesosomal lobes deeply sinuous laterally, not medially continuous. Gonopore longer than broad, with long, slender proximal projection. Distal ends of gonopore hook-like; 2 ames microsetae on each side antero-lateral to gonopore; 1 pmes sensillus on each side on distal hooks of gonopore; 2 pmes microsetae on each side on lateral margins of mesosome. Parameral heads with sinuous margins and medioposterior bulge ( Fig. 62 View FIGURES 59–63 ). Parameral blades very long, tapered, highly divergent; pst1–2 widely separated. Measurements ex Ianthocincla chinensis chinensis (n = 2): TL = 1.44–1.48; HL = 0.37; HW = 0.38–0.39; PRW = 0.23–0.24; PTW = 0.38; AW = 0.60.

Female. Scape as in Fig. 58 View FIGURES 57–58 . Pteronotum with 5 mms on each side. Abdominal plates and chaetotaxy as in Fig. 58 View FIGURES 57–58 . Subgenital plate with dense reticulation ( Fig. 63 View FIGURES 59–63 ). Vulval margin ( Fig. 63 View FIGURES 59–63 ) gently rounded, with 3–4 long, slender vms on each side (medial-most vms on each side shorter than others) and 6–7 short thorn-like vss on each side; 3–4 long, slender vos on each side; distal vos near vss. Measurements ex Ianthocincla chinensis chinensis (n = 2): TL = 1.70–1.71; HL = 0.39; HW = 0.40–0.41; PRW = 0.22–0.24; PTW = 0.35–0.37; AW = 0.53–0.54.

Etymology. The species epithet is in honor of Emelie Lindquist (University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden), in recognition of her assistance in collecting lice in Sweden during DG’s PhD studies.

Type material. Ex Ianthocincla chinensis chinensis : Holotype Ƌ, Shiwandashan National Park, Guangxi, China, 26 Apr. 2005, S.E. Bush & D.H. Clayton, host MBR-6716, lice P-664 ( NHML) . Paratypes: 1♂, 2♀, same data as holotype (PIPeR).
