Table 3 in Separation of Goniocotes Burmeister, 1838, and Dictyocotes Kéler, 1940 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera), with descriptions of four new species

Table 3. Approximate altitudinal range of the known lice in Goniocotes Burmeister, 1838 s. lat. and Dictyocotes Kéler, 1940, based on known altitudinal ranges of their hosts. Altitude range of hosts primarily derived from Madge & McGowan (2002), with altitudes given as exceptional not included. Species for which no clear altitudes were given by Madge & McGowan (2002) are not included. Altitudes are given in ranges. For domesticated hosts, only the ranges of their wild populations are given. Note that as altitude data or detailed collection data is normally not given in older louse descriptions and for many of the slide-mounted specimens we have examined, it is possible that lice only occur within parts of the host ranges given here, but more data is needed to establish whether this is the case. For louse species that occur on multiple host species, the total altitudinal range of all hosts is given.
