Fulicoffula obstinata Carriker, 1953 View in CoL ; Hopkins & Clay 1955: 181.

Holotype ♂ in USNM ( Emerson 1967: 83).

Type host: Laterallus albigularis albigularis (Lawrence, 1861) .

Galápagos host: Laterallus spilonotus (Gould, 1841) .

Galápagos locality: Isla Santiago.

Galápagos reference: This paper.

Other significant references: Price et al. (2003: 181).

Material examined: 3 males, 4 females and 1 nymph (2 samples, MONZ) .

Remarks: Fulicoffula obstinata is a new louse record for the Galápagos Islands, and Fulicoffula is a new genus record for the islands. The material examined from Laterallus spilonotus differs in some features from typical F. obstinata . However, we do not consider such differences to justify naming a new taxon; hence we qualify the population from Laterallus spilonotus as “ sensu lato ”. Fulicoffula obstinata is one of three louse species recorded for the first time from Laterallus spilonotus in this paper.
