Background Very little is known about the chewing lice fauna of Saudi Arabia especially from swifts (Apodidae). Swifts are common resident and migratory birds throughout Saudi Arabia. Two chewing lice genera are known for parasitising swifts throughout the world: Dennyus Neumann, 1906 and Eureum Nitzsch, 1818, none of which have been recorded from the Kingdom before. New information Two species of resident wild swifts were examined for chewing lice for the first time in Saudi Arabia. Two rare lice species were identified: D. (Dennyus) hirundinis (Linnaeus, 1761) and Dennyus sp. (Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) infesting the common swift Apus apus (Linnaeus, 1758) and African palm swift Cypsiurus parvus (Lichtenstein, 1823), respectively. The described chewing lice species are considered as new country records. They will be added to the Saudi Arabia parasitic fauna. Taxonomical and ecological remarks were provided for the identified chewing lice through this work, along with notes on swift/chewing lice interaction.

1906 年在沙特阿拉伯的两只雨燕上咀嚼 Dennyus Neumann 属 (Phthiraptera: Amblycera) 的新记录

背景 对沙特阿拉伯的咀嚼虱动物群，尤其是雨燕（Apodidae）知之甚少。雨燕是沙特阿拉伯常见的常驻鸟类和候鸟。世界各地以寄生雨燕而闻名的两个咀嚼虱属：Dennyus Neumann，1906 年和 Eureum Nitzsch，1818 年，此前王国没有记录过这两种虱子。新信息 沙特阿拉伯首次对两种常驻野生雨燕进行了咀嚼虱检查。确定了两种稀有虱子：D. (Dennyus) hirundinis (Linnaeus, 1761) 和 Dennyus sp。(Phthiraptera: Amblycera: Menoponidae) 分别侵染常见的雨燕 Apus apus (Linnaeus, 1758) 和非洲棕榈雨燕 Cypsiurus parvus (Lichtenstein, 1823)。所描述的咀嚼虱物种被认为是新的国家记录。它们将被添加到沙特阿拉伯寄生动物群中。通过这项工作为确定的咀嚼虱提供了分类学和生态学注释，以及关于快速/咀嚼虱相互作用的注释。
