The same species of sucking louse (Phthiraptera-Anoplura) from the Chilean abrocomid rodent Abrocoma bennetti Waterhouse, 1837 was recently described as Eulinognathus chilensis Gomez, 1998 and as Abrocomaphthirus hoplai Durden & Webb, 1999. We discuss the nomenclature of this louse and confirm that its correct name is now Abrocomaphthirus chilensis (Gomez, 1998). After comparing type specimens designated from each description, we also document some morphological variation within this species with respect to the paratergal plate on abdominal segment 3 in the female which usually has two relatively long apical setae, but occasionally has only one.
Résumé
Une espèce de pou (Phthiraptera-Anoplura) trouvé sur le rongeur abrocomide Abrocoma bennetti Waterhouse, 1837 a été récemment décrite comme Eulinognathus chilensis Gomez, 1998 et comme Abrocomaphthirus hoplai Durden & Webb, 1999. Les auteurs discutent la nomenclature de ce pou et confirment que son nom correct est Abrocomaphthirus chilensis (Gomez, 1998). La comparaison des spécimens types de chaque description a conduit les auteurs à constater l'existence, chez la femelle, de quelques variations morphologiques intraspecifiques concernant la plaque paratergale du segment abdominal 3, laquelle porte d'habitude deux soies distales relativement longues mais peut aussi n'en posséder qu'une seule.
