Treatment

Pseudolipeurus longiceps similis Carriker, 1944a: 91 , fig. 2b.

San Luis Potosí: Crypturellus cinnamomeus mexicanus, Naranjo View in CoL , 15 Feb. 1948, G.H. Lowery ( Carriker 1954a).

Veracruz: Crypturellus boucardi boucardi, Cerro Tuxtla , 28 Mar. 1940, M.A. Carriker ( Carriker 1944a); Crypturellus cinnamomeus sallaei, Tres Zapotes , 27 Mar. 1940, M.A. Carriker ( Carriker 1944a).

Types: Holotype male and allotype female deposited in USNM (68329).

Notes: A single male louse from Tinamus major percautus (Cerro Tuxtla, 23 Mar. 1940) was described by Carriker (1944a) as “ Pseudolipeurus longiceps robustus new subspecies ”, now regarded as a junior synonym of Ps. similis (see Price et al. 2003). The species regularly found on subspecies of Tinamus major is Pseudolipeurus tinami (see below, and Price et al. 2003). Therefore, we regard the single record of Ps. similis from Tinamus major as the result of a contamination from a species of Crypturellus .
