Abstract
A new key to genera and species and summary of host records of the Lipopteninae are presented. For the genus Lipoptena Nitzsch, gracilis Speis. 1903 and odocoilei Bryam 1964 are suppressed respectively as synonyms of pteropi Denny 1843 and mazamae Rndn. 1878, whereas indica (India, ex Axis axis ), fortisetosa (Japan, ex Cervus nippon ) and sigma (Taiwan, ex C. unicolor ) are described as new. Descriptive notes are given on L. paradoxa Newst. and L. pteropi Denny. Also appended are remarks on the evolution within the subfamily and selected new records of few other species.
