Bush, Sarah E., 2017, Morphological revision of the hyperdiverse Brueelia - complex (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Philopteridae) with new taxa, checklists and generic key, Zootaxa 4313 (1), pp. 1-443 : 323-324

“ Brueelia beroica Touleshkov ” and “ Picicola berojica Touleshkov ”

Host: Picus viridis Linnaeus, 1758 — green woodpecker.

Remarks. “ Brueelia beroica ” was first mentioned by Touleshkov (1962) and again as “ Picicola berojica ” by Touleshkov (1964). Ilieva (2009) noted that this species has never been described and that it is a nomen nudum. The lice that Touleshkov (1962, 1964) intended, but failed to describe, may be common on hosts in Bulgaria, considering that Touleshkov (1962, 1964) reported a total of 61 speciemsn from several localities.
