Journal Title: Journal of Applied and Natural Science - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 1

Abstract

The morphological features of three instars of nymphs and adults of Columbicola bacillus (Ischnocera: Phthiraptera) collected from Collard-dove Streptopelia decaocto were studied. Present report furnishes  Second instar nymph can be separated from first instar due to appearance of additional seta on pterothorax on seventh to eight adominal segments.
