Genus Myrsidea Waterston

Myrsidea Waterston 1915: 12 . Type species: Myrsidea victrix Waterston, 1915 , by original designation.

A thorough characterization of the morphology of members of the genus Myrsidea may be found in Clay (1966). Additional features and illustrations, including a drawing of an entire louse and discussion of characters in common with typical species, may be found in some recent descriptions of new species of this genus (e.g., Price and Dalgleish 2007). For brevity, these points are not repeated in the species descriptions that follow.
