Abstract
The single previously recognized species of Aotiella Eichler, A. aotop hilus (Ewing), and a second species, A. hershkovitzi new species, are described and illustrated. The type host for the former is a red-necke d night monkey, Aotus azarai (Humboldt), from Bolivia and Argentina, a nd for the latter a gray-necked night monkey, A. trivirgatus (Humboldt ), from Venezuela. The host and louse distributions are discussed.
