Type material. Ex M. amaurotis , the Browneared Bulbul, holotype female, Orchid Island, TAIWAN, 3 May 1969, 9E0773.

Etymology. This species is named for the late H. Elliott McClure, ornithologist, entomologist, and conservationist, the collector of many of the hosts yielding lice used for our study.
