Lectotype ♂ in NHML ( Clay 1973: 219).

Type host: Sula leucogaster (Boddaert, 1783) .

Galápagos hosts: Sula granti Rothschild, 1902 .

Galápagos localities: Isla Darwin; Isla Wolf; Isla Genovesa; Isla Seymour.

Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 43); Linsley & Usinger (1966).

Other significant references: Thompson (1948b); Clay (1964: 14); Amerson & Emerson (1971: 10, 24); Clay (1973: 219); Ledger (1980: 131); Palma (1996: 198); Price et al. (2003).

Material examined: 47 males, 51 females and 74 nymphs (9 samples, EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined the lectotype male of Lipeurus potens and have identified it as Pectinopygus annulatus . Also, we examined many specimens labelled and reported by Kellogg (1906: 319) as “ Lipeurus potens ” from several host species, and have identified them as four species of Pectinopygus , as listed in the synonymy above. The host recorded as “ Sula variegata ” for “ Lipeurus potens ” in Kellogg (1906: 319) is now known as Sula granti . Pectinopygus annulatus has been recorded from a number of Sula species ( Price et al. 2003: 207).
