This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Gustafsson, Daniel R., Li, Zhu, Tian, Chunpo, Ren, Mengjiao, Sun, Xiuling, Zou, Fasheng (2025): Three new species of ischnoceran lice (Psocodea: Phthiraptera) from birds in China, with a key to the Lagopoecus-group of genera. European Journal of Taxonomy 1004: 58-80, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1004.2961, URL: doi.org/10.5852/ejt.2025.1004.2961 Abstract.

Three new species of chewing lice (Psocoptera: Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) are described from hosts in China based on specimens deposited at the Natural History Museum of China. Galliphilopterus latifrons sp. nov. is described from Arborophila gingica (Gmelin, 1789) as the second known species of this genus. The relationships of the genus Galliphilopterus are discussed, and it is suggested this genus is close to Mulcticola Clay & Meinertzhagen, 1939.
