Goniocotes rectangulatus View in CoL (Nitzsch [In Giebel] 1866) [sic]; González-Acuña et al. 2009: 183.

Syntypes ♂ ♀, presumed lost (see Palma 2017: 28).

Type host: Pavo cristatus Linnaeus, 1758 .

Chilean host: Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson, 1760 .

Other hosts: None.

Chilean localities: Not given.

Geographic distribution: All continents, except Antarctica.

Chilean references: Roman-Bolelli (1947); González-Acuña et al. (2009).

Other significant references: KÉler (1939); Price et al. (2003); Martín-Mateo (2009: 34, fig. 8A).

Remarks: Considering that there are no other records of Goniocotes rectangulatus from domestic chickens, and that this louse has not been found again in Chile since Roman-Bolelli (1947), we suspect it may have been a misidentification of Goniocotes gallinae or a case of cross contamination from Pavo cristatus ; therefore, its presence in Chile needs confirmation.
