These unusual lice are ectoparasites of elephants and warthogs. Their mouthparts are elongated to form a drill-like structure that allows them to penetrate the thick skin of their host. TaxonomyThe three species, Haematomyzus elephantis (the elephant louse), Haematomyzus hopkinsi and Haematomyzus porci (warthog lice) belong to a single family, the Haematomyzidae.[1] Host recordsH. elephantis is known from both the African and Asian Elephant.[2]{{full citation needed|date=November 2012}} NotesThe first spelling of "Rhyncophthirina" by Ferris was a lapse, and in subsequent use of the term he spelled it "Rhynchophthirina" adding the second "h". Ordinal names are not covered by the International Code of Nomenclature and thus the name and spelling comes down to a matter of personal preference. The majority of phthirapterists spell the suborder as "Rhynchophthirina" as did Hopkins and Clay, 1952,{{full citation needed|date=November 2012}} and Price et al., 2003.{{full citation needed|date=November 2012}} References1. ^Perspectives in Insect Systematics {{ISBN|978-8-121-00018-5}} p. 155 {{Psocodea|2}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q15708621}}{{Parasite-insect-stub}}2. ^Price, et al., 2003 4 : Lice|Insect genera|Insects of Africa|Insects of Asia |
