Holotype female (A. Halajian SA 17) ex Bradornis mariquensis (Muscicapidae), South Africa: Polokwane Game Reserve, Polokwane, Limpopo Province (23 &#xB0; 58 'S, 29 &#xB0; 28 'E; 1312 m.a.s.l.), 10&#x2013;11 February 2012, Halajian leg. Paratypes: 1 female and 1 male with the same data as holotype (A. Halajian SA 18). Deposited in BMNH. Remarks. Until now, there were only two species of Myrsidea described on flycatchers (Muscicapidae):&#x2014; M. subdissimilis Uchida, 1926 from Cyanoptila cyanomelana (Temminck, 1829) in Japan (Uchida 1926) and M. proterva Z&amp;lstrok;otorzycka, 1964 from Muscicapa striata (Pallas, 1764) in Poland (Z&amp;lstrok;otorzycka 1964). Myrsidea mariquensis sp. nov. is well separated from both aforementioned species by a smaller number of tergal setae in the female, especially on tergite I (5&#x2013;6 vs. more than 10) and tergites II&#x2013;IV (each not more than 13 vs. each at least with 14). While the male of M. proterva is unknown, the male of M. mariquensis differs from that of M. subdissimilis by larger dimensions, especially TW (0.44 vs. 0.40&#x2013;0.41). Etymology. The species name is derived from the specific name of the type host, a noun in apposition.</description><description>Published as part of Halajian, Ali, Sychra, Oldrich, Luus-Powell, Wilmien &amp; Engelbrecht, Derek, 2012, Chewing lice of the genus Myrsidea (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) from passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in South Africa, with descriptions of three new species, pp. 58-68 in Zootaxa 3442 on pages 64-65, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.214246</description><identifier>https://zenodo.org/record/6170387</identifier><identifier>10.5281/zenodo.6170387</identifier><identifier>oai:zenodo.org:6170387</identifier><relation>info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/url/http://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B63519FFB9B6009DCB8C1E27071A9D</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.214246</relation><relation>url:http://publication.plazi.org/id/FF8F4D61FFBFB6079D5C8F5A22411A6A</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.214249</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.214250</relation><relation>doi:10.5281/zenodo.6170386</relation><relation>url:https://zenodo.org/communities/biosyslit</relation><rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</rights><rights>https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode</rights><source>Chewing lice of the genus Myrsidea (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) from passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) in South Africa, with descriptions of three new species, pp. 58-68 in Zootaxa 3442 64-65</source><subject>Biodiversity</subject><subject>Taxonomy</subject><subject>Animalia</subject><subject>Arthropoda</subject><subject>Insecta</subject><subject>Phthiraptera</subject><subject>Menoponidae</subject><subject>Myrsidea</subject><subject>Myrsidea mariquensis</subject><title>Myrsidea mariquensis Halajian and Sychra, sp. nov.</title><type>Other:info:eu-repo/semantics/other</type><type>Other:publication-taxonomictreatment</type><recordID>6170387</recordID></dc>

Holotype female (A. Halajian SA 17) ex Bradornis mariquensis (Muscicapidae), South Africa: Polokwane Game Reserve, Polokwane, Limpopo Province (23 ° 58 'S, 29 ° 28 'E; 1312 m.a.s.l.), 10–11 February 2012, Halajian leg. Paratypes: 1 female and 1 male with the same data as holotype (A. Halajian SA 18). Deposited in BMNH. Remarks. Until now, there were only two species of Myrsidea described on flycatchers (Muscicapidae):— M. subdissimilis Uchida, 1926 from Cyanoptila cyanomelana (Temminck, 1829) in Japan (Uchida 1926) and M. proterva Z&lstrok;otorzycka, 1964 from Muscicapa striata (Pallas, 1764) in Poland (Z&lstrok;otorzycka 1964). Myrsidea mariquensis sp. nov. is well separated from both aforementioned species by a smaller number of tergal setae in the female, especially on tergite I (5–6 vs. more than 10) and tergites II–IV (each not more than 13 vs. each at least with 14). While the male of M. proterva is unknown, the male of M. mariquensis differs from that of M. subdissimilis by larger dimensions, especially TW (0.44 vs. 0.40–0.41). Etymology. The species name is derived from the specific name of the type host, a noun in apposition.
