Myrsidea sp.

We collected a few specimens of Myrsidea from five other species of Tyrannidae , as follows: Contopus virens (Linnaeus, 1766) , Elaenia frantzii Lawrence, 1865 , Ramphotrigon megacephalum (Swainson, 1835) , Rhynchocyclus brevirostris (Cabanis, 1847) , and Zimmerius vilissimus (P.L. Sclater & Salvin, 1859) (see Table 3). They represent first records of Myrsidea from C. virens , and of any louse from the other four hosts. Unfortunately, with one exception, they were all nymphs, from which we were unsuccessful in obtaining genetic data or meaningful morphological data for their identification. The exception was one female from Ramphotrigon megacephalum which, unfortunately, was destroyed during DNA extraction.
