Biology:Trichodectidae

From HandWiki

Trichodectidae is a family of louse in the parvorder Trichodectera. Its species are parasites of mammals.[1]

Classification

Trichodectidae was previously classified as belonging to Ischnocera, but phylogenetic studies had found that group to be paraphyletic. In 2021, de Moya et al. proposed that Trichodectidae be split off from Ischnocera and to be put into a newly created grouping called Trichodectera.[2]

Below is a cladogram showing the position of Trichodectidae within Phthiraptera:[2]
