''Heterodoxus spiniger'' is a [[Chewing Lice|chewing louse]] of dogs.
==Identification==
The adults are relatively large at around 5mm in length. They are yellow and the tarsi end in two claws, enabling them to be distinguished from other lice.
==Life Cycle==
The female produces eggs, which can be found throughout the body of an infected host. Three further nymphal stages are required to produce a mature adult.
