Abstract

Lipoptena pudui n. sp. was taken from the cervid Pudu pudu (Molina), in central Chile. This is the first ked-fly known from this species of pygmy South American deer. The new species is closely related to L. guimaraesi Beq. and is characterized chiefly by the long narrow palpi and the non-constricted pronotum. A revised key to the New World species of Lipoptena is presented.
