Additional records of lice (Insecta, Phthiraptera) from the Faroe Islands
Norwegian Journal of Entomology 63 (1), 50-57
Abstract: During 10 years, from 2006 to 2015, samples of parasitic lice were collected and identified from 40 species of birds and four species of mammals in the Faroe Islands, resulting in 34 new records of species and subspecies, four genera, and 20 new host-louse associations for the islands. All these data are presented in this paper. These and previously published records bring the total number of parasitic lice known from the Faroe Islands to 251 species and subspecies (239 from birds and 12 from mammals) including 13 records identified at the generic level only.
