“ Docophorus taurocephalus ” Kellogg, 1906: 316 View in CoL (not Docophorus taurocephalus Kellogg, 1896 View in CoL ).

“ Philopterus taurocephalus ” Thompson, 1939: 72 (not Docophorus taurocephalus Kellogg, 1896 View in CoL ).

“ Craspedorrhynchus taurocephalus ” Clay View in CoL in Linsley & Usinger 1966: 129 (not Craspedorrhynchus taurocephalus (Kellogg, 1896)) View in CoL .

Craspedorrhynchus sp. ; Whiteman et al. 2009: 1380, fig. 7 right.

Galápagos host: Buteo galapagoensis (Gould, 1837) View in CoL .

Galápagos localities: Isla Pinta; Isla Marchena; Isla Santiago; Isla Fernandina; Isla Pinzón; Isla Santa Cruz; Isla Santa Fé; Isla Española.

Galápagos references: Kellogg (1906); Linsley & Usinger (1966); Parker, Whiteman & Miller (2006: 629); Whiteman et al. (2009: 1377); Sari et al. (2012: 3).

Other significant references: Gallego et al. (1987: 31); Mey (2001: 121); Price et al. (2003: 169).

Material examined: 40 males, 36 females and 32 nymphs (10 samples, EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: We agree with Whiteman et al. (2009: 1380) in leaving this louse population without a species name until a thorough systematic revision of the genus Craspedorrhynchus becomes available. From the Kellogg Collection, we examined one female Craspedorrhynchus reported and labelled by Kellogg (1906: 316) as “ Docophorus taurocephalus ” from an incorrect host.
