Austromenopon ? albemarlei Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902 ; Linsley 1977: 8.

Syntypes ♀♀ probably lost (see below).

Type hosts: Camarhynchus pallidus productus Ridgway, 1894 and Geospiza fuliginosa Gould, 1837 , both in error (see Hopkins & Clay 1952: 46).

Galápagos hosts: Unknown.

Galápagos locality: Isla Isabela.

Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1908: 60); Linsley & Usinger (1966); Linsley (1977); Price & Clay (1972).

Other significant references: None.

Remarks: Considering that (1) the type material of Menopon albemarlei could not be located, (2) its type hosts are both erroneous, and (3) its original description is not detailed enough to ascertain even the genus it belongs to, this nominal species must remain as a nomen dubium until at least one syntype is found ( Price & Clay 1972: 501).
