- Abstract
Ciconiphilus decimfasciatus is known to infest the cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis). A look on literature reveals that certain morphological features of the louse deserve rediscription. Present report supplements the rediscription of the C. decimfasciatus. Furthermore, an analysis of the crop content of the aforesaid louse indicates that 69% percentage of the specimen examined contained red content compatible with the host blood. Sex and stage related differences in the degree of haematophagy of the louse have also been noted.
