Phthiraptera: Anoplura

The Anoplura collection of the U. S. National Museum has been inventoried by staff and volunteers, and follows the checklist of Durden and Musser, 1994. The records are contained in a FileMaker® database which is maintained by and available from Nancy Adams. The following displays are taken from that database. Click on the family name and you will be taken to the records for species in the collection within that family. The louse binomials are arranged alphabetically by genus, then species. The host names are verbatium from the slide labels.

These are "static" pages and thus may not represent the most current inventory. Please check the "update" below each family page to verify when the records were last changed.
