Other significant references: Harrison (1937: 27); Clay (1940a: 298); Thompson (1948c: 661, text figs 1–8, pl. 19); Hopkins & Clay (1952: 131); Timmermann (1961c: 44, figs 12–13); Timmermann (1965: 103, fig. 41, pl. 10, fig. 4); Palma (1996: 176); Price et al. (2003: 178).

Material examined: 32 males, 34 females and 51 nymphs (5 samples, MONZ) .

Remarks: Timmermann (1961c: 44) listed two specimens of Episbates pederiformis from Phoebastria irrorata (as Diomedea irrorata ) but did not specify any locality for them. Episbates is a new genus record for the Galápagos Islands and E. pederiformis is a new louse record for the islands. Price et al. (2003: 178) listed a number of albatross species as hosts of this louse.
