Fregatiella aurifasciata (Kellogg, 1899) View in CoL

Menopon auri-fasciatum Kellogg, 1899: 43 View in CoL , pl. 4 fig. 5.

“ Menopon fuscofasciatum ” Kellogg, 1906: 321 (not Menopon fuscofasciatum Piaget, 1880 ).

“ Menopon singularis ” Kellogg, 1906: 321 (not Menopon singularis Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902 ).

Menopon aurifasciatum Kellogg, 1899 View in CoL ; Harrison 1916: 33.

Fregatiella aurifasciata (Kellogg, 1899) View in CoL ; Ryan & Price 1969b: 825, figs 1–9.

Holotype ♀ in EMEC ( Ryan & Price 1969b: 825).

Type host: Fregata magnificens Mathews, 1914 .

Galápagos hosts: Fregata magnificens Mathews, 1914 ; Fregata minor ridgwayi Mathews, 1914 .

Galápagos localities: Isla Wolf; Isla Marchena; Isla Genovesa; Isla Santa Cruz; Isla Seymour; Isla Española. Galápagos references: Kellogg (1906); Ewing (1924: 82); Thompson (1938b: 202–203); Linsley & Usinger (1966). Other significant references: Ryan & Price (1969b); Amerson & Emerson (1971: 11, 29); Price et al. (2003: 109). Material examined: 15 males, 15 females and 15 nymphs (3 samples, EMEC, MONZ).

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined one specimen reported as “ Menopon fuscofasciatum ” and another as “ Menopon singularis ” by Kellogg (1906: 321), and we have identified them as Fregatiella aurifasciata ; the latter specimen is associated with an incorrect host.

Fregatiella View in CoL is a new genus record for the Galápagos Islands. However, F. aurifasciata View in CoL , a monotypic species, had already been recorded from the archipelago, although associated with another genus (Clay in Linsley & Usinger 1966: 128). This louse species is known from all species of Fregata View in CoL (see Price et al. 2003: 109).

Genus Menacanthus Neumann 1912 View in CoL

Menopon (Menacanthus) Neumann 1912 . Arch. Parasitol., Paris View in CoL 15 (3): 354. Type species: Menopon robustum Kellogg, 1896 View in CoL = Menacanthus robustus (Kellogg, 1896) View in CoL (by original designation).
