Holotype ♂ in NHML.

Type host: Pterodroma phaeopygia (Salvin, 1876) .

Galápagos host: Pterodroma phaeopygia (Salvin, 1876) .

Galápagos localities: Isla Isabela; Isla Santa Cruz.

Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 38); Timmermann (1960); Timmermann (1965: 151, fig. 92); Edwards (1961); Linsley & Usinger (1966); Linsley (1977); Palma (2011: 42).

Other significant reference: Price et al. (2003: 188).

Material examined: 22 males, 19 females and 23 nymphs (5 samples, EMEC, MONZ, NHML, AMNH) .

Remarks: Pterodroma phaeopygia is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. Although Dickinson (2003: 74) listed it as the subspecies Pterodroma phaeopygia phaeopygia , we regard it as a full species as well as Pterodroma sandwichensis (Ridgway, 1884) , following Browne et al. (1997: 814). From the Kellogg Collection, we examined one female reported by Kellogg (1906: 319) as “ Lipeurus languidus ” from “ Fulmarus sp. ”, and have identified it as Halipeurus noctivagus . It is not possible to determine what species of petrel that “ Fulmarus sp. ” actually referred to, but it is unlikely that it was any of the two species of Fulmarus , although the southern fulmar, Fulmarus glacialoides (Smith, 1840) , has been recorded once in the Galápagos Islands ( Castro & Phillips 1996: 67). Palma (2011: 42) recorded Halipeurus noctivagus from three species of Pterodroma , including Pt. phaeopygia .
