本文描述了该属四新种。它们都寄生于非洲特有的雀形目（Passeriformes）雀形目（Passeridae）、雀形目（Ploceidae）和雌雀科（Estrildidae）的寄主物种。它们是：布氏黑尾蚜Brueelia pofadderensis sp. nov. ex Passer melanurus damarensis Reichenow，1902和P.m. vicinus Clancey，1958; B. nov. ex Granatina granatina（Linnaeus，1758）; B. nov. ex Malimbus nitens（Gray，1831）; B. terpsichore sp. nov. ex Euplectes jacksoni（Sharpe，1891）和E. Delamerei（Shelley，1903）.此外，Brueelia bicurvata（皮亚杰，1880年）是重新描述和重新说明从非类型的材料。提供了自1980年以来非洲Brueelia综合体中虱子的所有已发表记录的摘要。我们还估计未知的多样性的非洲物种的Brueelia的基础上，每个主机家庭独立计算的主机特异性指数。未知的多样性估计超过1000种来自非洲宿主的Brueelia，而目前在非洲记录的该属物种不到50种。
Four new species of Brueelia Keler, 1936 are described and illustrated. All of them parasitize African endemic host species in the families Passeridae, Ploceidae, and Estrildidae (Passeriformes). They are: Brueelia pofadderensis sp. nov. ex Passer melanurus damarensis Reichenow, 1902 and P. m. vicinus Clancey, 1958; B. semiscalaris sp. nov. ex Granatina granatina (Linnaeus, 1758); B. sima sp. nov. ex Malimbus nitens (Gray, 1831); B. terpsichore sp. nov. ex Euplectes jacksoni (Sharpe, 1891) and E. progne delamerei (Shelley, 1903). In addition, Brueelia bicurvata (Piaget, 1880) is redescribed and reillustrated from non-type material. A summary of all published records of lice in the Brueelia complex from Africa since 1980 is provided. We also estimate the unknown diversity of African species of Brueelia based on an index of host specificity calculated for each host family independently. The unknown diversity is estimated to be over 1000 species of Brueelia from African hosts, compared to the < 50 species in this genus currently recorded from Africa.
