Zootaxa 4139 (4): 527-541, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4139.4.5AbstractTwo new species of the louse genus Philopteroides Mey, 2004 are described and illustrated from two host species of paint- ed berrypeckers, endemic to New Guinea: Philopteroides sinancorellus n. sp. ex Oreocharis arfaki (Meyer, 1875) (tit berrypecker), and Philopteroides gigas n. sp. ex Paramythia montium De Vis, 1892 (crested berrypecker). Both louse species belong to the beckeri species-group based on their short, broad preantennal areas, and shallow median indentations of the hyaline margin. The description of these two new species brings the total number of Philopteroides species to 15. An amended key to the beckeri species-group is included.Key words: Phthiraptera, Ischnocera, Philopteridae, Philopteroides, beckeri species-group, lice, new species, Passeriformes, Paramythiidae, berrypeckers, New Guinea new species Passeriformes New Guinea berrypeckers beckeri species-group Ischnocera Paramythiidae Phthiraptera Philopteroides lice Philopteridae To the extent possible under law, the publisher has waived all rights to these data and has dedicated them to the Public Domain (CC0 1.0).
