A. n.

A member of the group Mallophaga of lice with chewing mouthparts that feed on feathers, hair, scales of skin, etc., and are ectoparasites mainly of birds. Also called bird-louse, biting louse.The group Mallophaga is now usually treated as an order, but its members are sometimes included with the sucking lice ( Anoplura) in a single order, Phthiraptera, in which case the taxon Mallophaga is either treated as a suborder or abandoned.

ΚΠ

1890 Cent. Dict. Mallophagan, a louse of the group Mallophaga.

1891 Insect Life 4 188 The correspondence is less striking than that of a Mallophagan with a Psocid.

1970 Sci. Jrnl. Mar. 23/2 Other parasites, mallophagans (lice which feed on feathers and hair), were destroyed with the red mites.

B. adj.

Of or belonging to the group Mallophaga.

1890 Cent. Dict. Mallophagan, same as mallophagous.

1914 Austral. Zoologist 1 7 Mallophagan parasites of hawks, chicks, pigeons, or shore-birds, all afford well-defined groups.

1938 A. D. Imms Gen. Textbk. Entomol. (ed. 4) 307 The Mallophagan parasites of hawks, ducks, pigeons or shore-birds constitute well-defined groups, the distribution of which is confined to, in most cases, a single host-order.

1964 A. L. Thomson New Dict. Birds 234/2 It is..usually possible to place a bird correctly in its order, and often in a lower category, if the mallophagan genera parasitising it are known.

1972 Times Lit. Suppl. 30 June 754/2 The presence of..mallophagan lice on rheas and ostriches.

1992 Polish Polar Res. 13 62 Differences between the results concerning metric characters of all presently examined mallophagan species and the respective literature data on these characters are worthy of notice.
