Description
Summary:Menacanthus dudiyalatora Ansari, 1951 Menacanthus dudiyalatora Ansari, 1951: 143, figs 7a–k. Current status: Menacanthus camelinus (Nitzsch [in Giebel], 1874); Price 1977: 210, figs 7–9. Type host: Lanius excubitor lahtora (Sykes). Type locality: Faisalabad [as Lyallpur, Punjab], Pakistan. Type material: Ansari (1951: 145) listed only three type specimens: the holotype female, the allotype male and one paratype male. However, in the NHML there are 13 lice mounted on three slides, all labelled as " Menacanthus dudiyalatora ", as follows: (1) one labelled as " TYPE " [slide NHML010658068] containing one female (the holotype), one male and three nymphs; (2) a slide labelled as " PARATYPE " [slide NHML010658069] containing one female and two males; and (3) a second slide labelled as " PARATYPE " [slide NHML010658070] containing one female, two males and two nymphs. Obviously, some of the above specimens are not paratypes, but it is not possible to ascertain which two males are those designated by Ansari as allotype and paratype. : Published as part of Naz, Saima, Najer, Tomas & Gustafsson, Daniel R., 2020, An annotated list of the species of lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) described by Mohammad A. - R.
