Heptapsogaster oliverioi ( Guimarães & Lane, 1937) ; Price et al. (2003: 190).

Material examined: 1♂, 1♀ ( MZUSP #3200), Mata do Othon (09°50'S; 35°54'W), Barra de São Miguel, Alagoas, Brazil, 21 Feb. 1979, D.M. Teixeira coll.

Remarks: This species has been found as a regular ectoparasite of four species of Tinamus , of which T. solitarius is also included for Brazil ( Guimarães & Lane 1937, Guimarães 1942a). Although Guimarães (1942a: 24) placed H. oliverioi as a junior synonym of H. grandis , and this opinion has been followed by Hopkins & Clay (1952: 169), the latest worldwide checklist of chewing lice inexplicably still considers the former name as valid ( Price et al. 2003: 190).
