Holotype ♂ in MONZ.

Type host: Creagrus furcatus (Néboux, 1842) .

Galápagos host: Creagrus furcatus (Néboux, 1842) .

Galápagos localities: Isla Darwin; Isla Genovesa; Isla Seymour; Isla Champion (near Isla Floreana).

Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 15); Thompson (1939); Linsley & Usinger (1966); Palma (2012).

Other significant references: None.

Material examined: 29 males, 17 females and 2 nymphs (9 samples, EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) creagrusa is so far endemic to the Galápagos Islands, but Creagrus furcatus is not, as this gull also breeds on Malpelo Island ( Dickinson 2003: 149), located about 500 km west of the Colombian mainland.. From the Kellogg Collection, we have identified as Saemundssonia (S.) creagrusa one male reported by Kellogg & Kuwana (1902: 463) as “ Docophorus lari ” and four specimens reported by Kellogg (1906: 316) as “ Docophorus melanocephalus ”, all from the type host. In addition, we examined two specimens of S. (S.) creagrusa reported by Kellogg (1906: 316) as “ Docophorus peristictus ” from an incorrect host.
