We revised a collection of chewing lice deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia. We studied 60 slides with 107 specimens of 10 species of the genus Ricinus (De Geer, 1778). The collection includes lectotype specimens of Ricinus ivanovi Blagoveshtchensky, 1951 and of Ricinus tugarinovi Blagoveshtchensky, 1951. We registered Ricinus elongatus Olfers, 1816 ex Turdus ruficollis, R. ivanovi ex Leucosticte tephrocotis and Ricinus serratus (Durrant, 1906) ex Calandrella acutirostris and Calandrella cheleensis which were not included in Price’s world checklist. New records for Russia are R. elongatus ex Turdus ruficollis; Ricinus fringillae De Geer, 1778 ex Emberiza aureola, Emberiza leucocephalos, Emberiza rustica, Passer montanus and Prunella modularis; Ricinus rubeculae De Geer, 1778 ex Erithacus rubecula and Luscinia svecica; Ricinus serratus (Durrant, 1906) ex Alauda arvensis. New records for Kyrgyzstan are R. fringillae ex E. leucocephalos and ex Fringilla coelebs. A new record for Tajikistan is R. serratus ex Calandrella acutirostris. The new species Ricinus vaderi Valan n. sp. is described with Calandra lark, Melanocorypha calandra; from Azerbaijan, as a type host.
Résumé
Nous avons révisé une collection de mallophages déposée à l’Institut de zoologie de l’Académie des Sciences de Russie, Saint-Pétersbourg, Russie. Nous avons examiné 60 lames avec 107 spécimens de dix espèces du genre Ricinus (De Geer, 1778). La collection contient des spécimens lectotypes de Ricinus ivanovi Blagoveshtchensky, 1951 et de Ricinus tugarinovi Blagoveshtchensky, 1951. Nous avons enregistré Ricinus elongatus Olfers, 1816 ex Turdus ruficollis, R. ivanovi ex Leucosticte tephrocotis et Ricinus serratus (Durrant, 1906) ex Calandrella acutirostris et Calandrella cheleensis qui avaient été omis dans la liste mondiale de Price. Les nouvelles mentions pour la Russie sont R. elongatus ex Turdus ruficollis ; Ricinus fringillae De Geer, 1778 ex Emberiza aureola, Emberiza leucocephalos, Emberiza rustica, Passer montanus et Prunella modularis ; Ricinus rubeculae De Geer, 1778 ex Erithacus rubecula et Luscinia svecica; Ricinus serratus (Durrant, 1906) ex Alauda arvensis. Une nouvelle mention pour le Tadjikistan est R. serratus ex Calandrella acutirostris. La nouvelle espèce Ricinus vaderi Valan n. sp. est décrite avec l’alouette calandre Melanocorypha calandra, d’Azerbaidjan, comme hôte-type.
