Strigiphilus

Strigiphilus is a genus of chewing louse in the suborder Ischnocera.

[1] Mjöberg initially circumscribed Strigiphilus as a subgenus of the genus he referred to as Docophorus[6] (now known as Philopterus).

[8] Strigiphilus is the only genus of Ischnocera to exclusively parasitize owls.
