Type host: Fregata magnificens Mathews, 1914 .

Galápagos host: Fregata magnificens Mathews, 1914 .

Galápagos localities: Isla Wolf; Isla Santa Cruz; Isla Seymour; Isla Española.

Galápagos references: Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 58); Linsley & Usinger (1966).

Other significant references: Price (1967); Price et al. (2003: 102).

Material examined: 52 males, 32 females and 10 nymphs (4 samples, EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: Records of “ Colpocephalum spineum ” in Kellogg & Kuwana (1902: 484) are misidentifications of Colpocephalum angulaticeps . Records of Colpocephalum spineum in Kellogg (1906: 320) are correct, but they are from incorrect hosts with the exception of those from “ Fregata aquila ”. Colpocephalum spineum parasitises two species of Fregata , F. aquila and F. magnificens (see Price et al. 2003: 102).
