Abstract
The nymphs I, II, III, and adult male and adult female stages of Mulcticola macrocephalus (Kellogg) (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera: Philopteridae), a monoxenous species of chewing louse infesting common nighthawk, Chordeiles minor (Forster) (Caprimulgiformes: Caprimulgidae), in North America, are described. Line drawings of whole nymphs and adults are presented, as are details of anterior dorsal head plates, metasternal plates, female subvulvar plates, and male genitalia. Ontogenetic characters exhibited during the postembryonic development of this species of chewing louse are described and discussed in relation to previous information in the literature.

We thank the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada, which issued the scientific permits necessary to carry out louse collections from common nighthawks. Dave Holder, Lisa Babey, and many student assistants helped wash nighthawks in the laboratory. Funding was provided in part to T.D.G. by Discovery Grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. We also thank the Department of Entomology and the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, University of Manitoba, for their continued support for research on ectoparasites of wildlife.
