The Rhyncophthirina represent two species of (Click link for more info and facts about lice) lice that differ so markedly from all other lice that they have been placed in a suborder of their own.
These unusual lice are (Any external parasitic organism (as fleas)) ectoparasites of (Five-toed pachyderm) elephants and (African wild swine with warty protuberances on the face and large protruding tusks) warthogs.
The two species, Haematomyzus elephantis (the elephant louse - known only from the Indian elephant) and Haematomyzus hopkinsi (the warthog louse) belong to a single family, the Haematomyzidae.

 Order Phthiraptera
Morphological and molecular evidence strongly support the view that the Anoplura and Rhyncophthirina are sister taxa, and that they are closer to Ischnocera than the latter two are to the more primitive Amblycera.
In 1931 he created the suborder Rhyncophthirina within Mallophaga for this louse.
Fahrenholz, "Zeitschrift für Parasitenkunde" placed Rhyncophthirina in the Anoplura, thus had two suborders Inrostrata for the sucking lice and Rhynchophthirina for the "Elephant Louse".

His study supported the monophyly of the Phthiraptera, with Anoplura and Rhyncophthirina forming a monophletic group, sister group to the Ischnocera; the Amblycera are the sister group of this assemblage.
Amblycerans are found on a diverse range of mammals and birds, and have retained some of the more primitive characteristics of the order, with a lesser degree of specialization for particular habitats.
These are restricted to mammals, and like the Rhyncophthirina, feed using maxillae positioned at the end of a snout-like protrusion to pierce the skin.

 Lice
The order has traditionally been divided into two suborders; the sucking lice (Anoplura) and chewing lice (Mallophaga), however, recent classifications suggest that the Mallophaga are paraphyletic and four suborders are now recognised:
Anoplura - sucking lice, including head and pubic lice (see also Pediculosis)\n* Rhyncophthirina - parasites of elephants and warthogs\n* Ischnocera - avian lice\n* Amblycera - chewing lice, a primitive order of lice

Two common claims of Holocaust deniers are easily confused with the legitimate debate of functionalism and intentionalism: A gas chamber is a means of execution whereby a poisonous gas is introduced into a hermetically sealed chamber.
Suborders Anoplura (sucking lice) Rhyncophthirina Ischnocera (avian lice) Amblycera (chewing lice) Lice (singular: louse) (order Phthiraptera) are an order of over 3000 species of wingless parasitic insects.
