TL;DR: In this study, three breeding species of Suliformes, Phalacrocorax nigrogularis Ogilvie-Grant & Forbes, Sula dactylatra Lesson and Sula leucogaster were examined for chewing lice.
Abstract: Despite the large diversity of the migratory and resident avifauna of the Arabian Peninsula, relatively few species have been sampled for chewing lice. In this study, three breeding species of Suliformes, Phalacrocorax nigrogularis Ogilvie-Grant & Forbes, Sula dactylatra Lesson and Sula leucogaster (Boddaert) were examined for chewing lice. Four species of chewing lice were identified, two from the suborder Amblycera (Eidmanniella albescens (Piaget, 1880) and Eidmanniella nancyae Ryan & Price, 1969) and two from the suborder Ischnocera (Pectinopygus socotranus Timmermann, 1964 and Pectinopygus sulae (Rudow, 1869)). Diagnostic characters, examined and other known hosts, an identification key, and images of hosts and chewing lice are provided.

...Several researchers have discussed the host/parasitic relationships of these genera (Kellogg & Kuwana 1902; Thompson 1940a, 1940b, 1946, 1947, 1948a, 1948b; Ryan & Price 1969), but there is little data for these genera of the Arabian Peninsula....

...Several researchers have revised the information on chewing lice of these genera (Kellogg & Kuwana 1902; Bedford 1931; Thompson 1940a, 1940b, 1946, 1947, 1948a, 1948b; Timmermann 1964, 1967; Ryan & Price 1969)....

TL;DR: Morphometric analyses revealed a standard increase in body size from first larval instar to the adult, and all instars exhibited increasing body segment differentiation, especially in the abdomen and the head.
