Material examined: 90 males, 68 females and 27 nymphs (6 samples EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined the type specimens of Nirmus curvilineatus , both from incorrect hosts, and six of the specimens reported by Kellogg (1906: 318) as “ Nirmus fuscus ”, and have identified them as Degeeriella regalis . This louse species has been recorded from a number of raptors ( Price et al. 2003: 175), including Buteo galapagoensis .
