MyrsideaWaterston is the most diverse genus of chewing lice, primarily parasitizing perching birds (Passeriformes), which is the most speciose avian order.Myrsideaalso parasitize several hosts from non‐passerine groups, including toucans, barbets, woodpeckers (Piciformes) and hummingbirds (Apodiformes). To examine host specificity, host switching and generic limits, we reconstructed a phylogeny of the avian feather louse genusMyrsideausing DNA sequence data from two fragments of the mitochondrial COI gene and a fragment of the nuclear EF‐1α gene for 152Myrsideaspecimens collected from 23 avian host families. Unlike other highly diverse louse genera, only a small proportion ofMyrsideaspecies parasitize more than one host species. We found that host family has significant phylogenetic signal on theMyrsideaphylogeny. These results suggest thatMyrsideais generally highly host‐specific, with some exceptions where host switching is important. We found that there are two separate groups ofMyrsideathat parasitize toucans, and that both are nested withinMyrsideafound on perching birds, suggesting that these toucan ectoparasites may have arisen from two independent host switching events. Lastly, representatives of the genusRamphasticolaCarriker, which was originally described as a distinct genus due to a suite of morphologically unique characters, falls in with a strongly supported clade ofMyrsideaparasitizingRamphastostoucans, and therefore we definitively placeRamphasticolaas a synonym ofMyrsidea.
