03948456FFBBFFF826E95166D8181A59.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Although Méndez (1969) collected a pair of lice from two different host individuals of Zygodontomys cherriei (= Z. brevicauda), we believe that these findings are the result of contamination. Without explanation, Price et al. (2003: 77) did not consider this cricetid species as a host of G. emersoni.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFBAFFF826E95431DC7F1E17.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Despite Werneck (1942: 21; 1948: 70) having cited Cercomys cunicularius laurentius (= Thrichomys a. laurenteus) as a host from which G. freitasi had been collected, both Hopkins and Clay (1952: 161) and Price et al. (2003: 77) overlooked the original data and did not consider this species as a host of G. freitasi. In Werneck’s collection there are registries for 26 samples, all hosts identified by J. Moojen, recorded from Cercomys cunicularius inermis (= Thrichomys inermis) and only one louse sample from Cercomys laurentius (= Thrichomys a. laurenteus), identified by R. W. Hayman, named as G. freitasi. It is important to stress that of these 27 samples, only two of them are slide-mounted. The finding of G. freitasi on T. apereoides may be a case of host misidentification. Thus, the only known host for this chewing louse is T. inermis.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB9FFFB26E95703D8B11D0A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The opossum species cited as a host for G. lenti lenti is presumably the result of contamination during field collection. Although in the published results (Cáceres et al. 2007: 1984) there is no evidence of contamination (other than low prevalence), an abstract presented by the authors at a Brazilian national congress (Gazêta et al. 2005) showed that the same louse species also parasitized T. apereoides, which was collected during the same trip. During the same congress a poster presentation by the authors also reported Rhipidomys macrurus (Cricetidae) as a host for G. lenti lenti, another probable case of cross contamination.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB8FFFA26E956D7DC761C09.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The three species of Echimyidae cited as a host to G. lineatus are clearly either result of a misidentification of the lice (Guitton et al. 1986; Bittencourt and Rocha 2002, 2003) or contamination among museum skins (Ewing 1924). This is one of the only two species named in Gyropus found exclusively on Caviidae. The finding of an immature on a skin of Microcavia australis (Ewing 1924: 22) needs further investigation.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB8FFF526E95113D9A21BF0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The host used in the original description was identified by J. Moojen as Proechimys iheringi in 1945, that is, three years before his monograph about the Brazilian spiny rats of the genus Proechimys s. l. (Moojen 1948). In this monograph, J. Moojen included in Proechimys (Trinomys) iheringi five subspecies: P. i. iheringi Thomas, P. i. denigratus Moojen, P. i. paratus Moojen, P. i. gratiosus, and P. i. bonafidei Moojen. Probably the material identified for Werneck was not classified to subspecies, after Moojen's classification, and species identification was used by Werneck (1948: 64) to describe G. m. iheringi: Proechimys iheringi (spp.). It is now known that the species which occurs in the type locality, Floresta da Caixa d’água in Santa Teresa (Espírito Santo state), is Trinomys gratiosus (Iack-Ximenes 2005), namely, Proechimys iheringi gratiosus after Moojen (1948) and Lara and Patton (2000). Therefore, the correct name for the type host of G. m. iheringi is Trinomys gratiosus instead of T. iheringi.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB7FFF526E95598DC131F11.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The host specimen used by Werneck (1934 b) in his description was identified by R. W. Haymann as Proechimys albispinus; later, the same host skin was identified as Proechimys dimidiatus (= T. dimidiatus) by J. Moojen (Werneck 1948: 63). There are in Werneck’s collection six samples from differentes places of Rio de Janeiro state, all identified by J. Moojen as Proechimys dimidiatus. We believe that the name of the type host was result of misidentification, thus the only host species and the type host of G. m. martini is T. dimidiatus.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB7FFF426E951F9DCE51C8B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Based on morphological characters such as male genitalia and abdominal chaetotaxy (Werneck 1934, 1948), G. martini matthaeensis belongs to a group of species found infesting spiny-rats of the genus Trinomys. The assumption of Hopkins and Clay (1952) is valid because the species now included in Trinomys have often been considered as members of Proechimys s. l. (Wilson and Reeder 2005). Moreover, from its locality of collection, the type host could not be included within the geographic range of Proechimys s. s. (Gardner and Emmon 1984; Patton 1987; Lara and Patton 2000), based on such distribution the species in the genus Trinomys knows in Espírito Santo state are T. gratiosus, T. panema, T. setosus, and T. paratus (Moojen) (Lara and Patton 2000; Iack-Ximenes 2005). Based on the results obtained herein, (1) it is assumed that two Gyropus species are not found on the same Trinomys species, (2) that T. gratiosus is probably the correct host name to G. m. iheringi (see note for this species), (3) that T. setosus is the host of G. limai, (4) T. gratiosus and T. panema are morphologically close species (Iack-Ximenes 2005) (cryptic species by Iack-Ximenes, pers. comm.), which is confirmed by the close morphological similarity between G. m. iheringi and G. m. matthaeensis (Werneck 1948). It is possible that Trinomys panema should be the correct host for G. m. matthaeensis. However, further collections of lice from this host will prove or reject the present hypothesis.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB5FFF126E956D7DDF61CF4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Altough today the type host is domesticated and distributed worldwide, possibly it lives as feral populations in South America (Wilson and Reeder, 2005). Thus, only the records from this continent were included for this species. This species was found on a dragon fly (Agriogomphus jessei, Odonata, Gomphidae) in Cristalina, Colombia (Ewing 1924: 15). Of course that this find was a typical case of an accidental phoresis, nevertheless its geographical record is included in the distribution of G. ovalis (Table 1).	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB3FFF026E95284DEE11A59.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The type host of G. parasetosus is a member of the family Echimyidae. Werneck (1948: 58) included a cricetid as its host, Oryzomys laticeps, in Pará state, Brazil. However, in Werneck’s collection there is one male from this host and locality, and other unpublished records include: three males from Metachirus nudicaudatus (Didelphidae) and one female from Sciurus aestuans (Sciuridae), all from Pará, Brazil. These unpublished stragglers or contaminants from Werneck’s material reinforce our opinion that Oryzomys laticeps is the wrong host for G. parasetosus. Although Werneck (1948: 57) had said that he examined many individuals collected from two P. oris there is only one slide with one immature in his collection. This leads us to reject this species as a regular host until adults can be collected from this spiny-rat species. Two species of hosts for G. parasetosus, P. guyannensis and P. trinitatus, were cited only in checklists without mentioning the former material examined (Emerson and Price 1981: 43; Price et al. 2003: 77, respectively). The latter host species is represented in Werneck’s collection by two samples from Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela, composed of males and females (unpublished data). However, these specimens belong, probably, to an undescribed species. Therefore, we believe it is prudent to consider the type host as the only valid host for this louse species.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFB1FFF326E95519D9621EF8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This is the only species of Gyropus that parasitizes a cricetid rodent (see Table 1). Its original description was based upon a set of ten pairs from two host individuals; in addition, its genitalias, head and body chaetotaxy are distinct from the other morphotypes in the genus (Werneck 1935 a: 598, b: 424, 1948: 62). The host associations of Zygodontomys brevicauda (Méndez 1969: 499) and Oryzomys laticeps (Werneck 1948: 58) were based on few specimens. Therefore, we regard these associations as the result of contamination. We stress that in both cases the morphotypes (including male and female genitalias and general cheatotaxy) in question were typically from species found on Proechimys spp.	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).

03948456FFAEFFEF26E950CADC111D21.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In the original description, Emerson and Price (1975: 31) cited Proechimys semispinosus from Santa Apolônia in Trujillo (Venezuela) as the type host for G. wernecki, and designated paratypes collected on two other host species from La Paz in Zulia (Proechimys canicollis), Capibara in Amazonas and El Manaco in Bolívar (Proechimys guyannensis). The geographic range of Proechimys semispinosus (Gardner 1983: 142; Gardner and Emmon 1984: 23) does not include localities presented by Emerson and Price (1975), and later published by Handley (1976) for Venezuelan rodents. It is likely that the rodent species found in almost all localities indicated by Emerson and Price (1975) is Proechimys guairae instead of Proechimys semispinosus. On the other hand, the individuals identified as Proechimys canicollis and Proechimys guyannensis could occur in the localities cited in Venezuela (Patton 1987). We think it prudent to consider the type host, with its corrected name, as the only valid host species for Gyropus wernecki. It is important to stress out that: (1) there are not two species of Gyropus on the same Proechimys host species; (2) there is a species of Gyropus (G. emersoni), morphologically distinct from G. wernecki, on P. semispinosus in its recognized geographic area; and (3) Proechimys semispinosus does not occur in the type locality of Gyropus wernecki. Based on these aspects, it is plausible that the correct name for the type host of Gyropus wernecki is P. guairae. It is possible that P. canicollis and P. guyannensis could harbor undescribed species of Gyropus, which were equivocally considered as the same one as that found on P. guairae by Emerson and Price (1975). The detailed analysis of the male genitalia as well as the internal genital sclerites in females on samples from these two host species would test this hypothesis, since these are the main characters used to distinguish Gyropus spp. found on Amazonian Proechimys (M. P. Valim, obs. pers.).	en	Valim, Michel P., Linardi, Pedro Marcos (2008): A taxonomic catalog, including host and geographic distribution, of the species of the genus Gyropus Nitzsch (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Gyropidae).
