A total of 114 individuals of 14 wren species were examined. Nineteen birds of six species were parasitised with 292 chewing lice belonging to three genera – Brueelia, Penenirmus and Myrsidea. Data on the occurrence of chewing lice on wrens and some parasitological parameters are updated and discussed. A description and illustrations are given for Myrsidea fasciata sp. nov. from Campylorhynchus fasciatus (Costa Rica). Penenirmus albiventris is redescribed from Troglodytes troglodytes (Czech Republic and Slovakia) and from T. aedon (Peru). Intraspecific morphological variation of P. albiventris is discussed, and detailed figures are given. A portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was sequenced from some species of Myrsidea and Penenirmus in order to assess their relative genetic divergence. An updated list of all species of lice recorded from wrens, including their geographic distribution, and a host-louse list are also given.
