Phthiraptera Collection:	"Mallophaga" Collection Our collection of sucking and chewing lice is relatively extensive. There are 4800 microscope slide mounts of chewing lice, most of which are identified. Major contributions have been made by Bedford, Dalgleish, Kellogg, Matheson, Stafford, and Wilson. There are 77 vials of Ugandan lice collected by Professor J.G. Matthysse from livestock, which are currently being identified by R. C. Dalgleish. The holdings are geographically diverse, but with strong representation for North America. There are 530 slides of Anoplura. There are several primary types and about 50 secondary types (Search Types). The louse collection has been moved into modern slide boxes, and the holdings are listed in our Holdings database.
