Abstract
The type specimens of 142 nominal species of chewing and sucking lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera:
Amblycera, Ischnocera and Anoplura) held in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São
Paulo, Brazil (MZUSP) are listed. The list includes species in the families: Menoponidae
and Gyropidae (Suborder Amblycera); Philopteridae (including species initially described in
Heptapsogastridae) and Trichodectidae (Suborder Ischnocera); and Hoplopleuridae (Suborder
Anoplura). The following type categories are represented in the collection: holotype, allotype,
paratype, syntype, neotype, neoallotype, neoparatype and paralectotype. Information is taken
from card data, and includes changes in nomenclatural status for each species since their original
description. Two additional lists, one with updated scientific names for the lice (Appendix 1)
and another with those for the host taxa (Appendix 2), are included.
