Najer, Tomas, Sychra, Oldrich, Hung, Nguyen Manh, Capek, Miroslav, Podzemny, Petr & Literak, Ivan, 2012, Chewing lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) from wild passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in northern Vietnam, with descriptions of three new species, Zootaxa 3530, pp. 59-73 : 62

Brueelia sp. 2

Material studied. 1 male, 1 female, 5 nymphs, VIETNAM: surroundings of the tourist center and ranger station in central part of Cuc Phuong National Park, Cuc Phuong, Province of Ninh Binh (20°15' N 105°42' E), 4 February 2010, coll. I. Literak, in IEBR VAST (O. Sychra V31).

Remarks. This is the first record of a chewing louse from Larvivora sibilans . The specimens of Brueelia are close to Brueelia flavala Najer & Sychra, 2012 and Brueelia cucphuongensis Najer & Sychra, 2012 described from the same location from Hemixos flavala Blyth, 1845 and Pycnonotus finlaysoni Strickland, 1844 , respectively ( Najer et al. 2012). Considering that our specimens show intermediate characters between both aforementioned species, and with only one adult specimen of each sex, a species identification of this Brueelia sample cannot be made at present. One of 21 birds examined was parasitized by Brueelia sp. 2.
