Degeeriella
Degeeriella is a genus of ischnoceran feather lice in the family Philopteridae. Species in this genus are ectoparasites of birds of prey, with documented host associations including vultures and related Accipitriformes. The genus is characterized by distinctive genitalia with penial sclerite and typically more than four sternocentral setae on abdominal segments III and IV. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that Degeeriella is paraphyletic, with some species showing closer relationships to other genera than to congeneric species.
