Cuculicola splendidus (Kellogg, 1899)

Nirmus splendidus Kellogg, 1899a: 16, pl. 2, figs 3, 6.

Baja California: Caracara cheriway, no date, J.F. Abbott (Kellogg 1899a).

Notes: The record of Nirmus splendidus by Kellogg & Chapman (1902a) from “(Tampico, Mexico)” was incorrectly taken from Kellogg (1899b), where the locality is correctly given as “ Baja California ” (INEGI 2014). Also, the record of a species of Cuculicola from Caracara cheriway is most likely the result of a contamination because there is no species of Cuculicola parasitising any species in the order Falconiformes (see Price et al. 2003).
