Rallicola (Rallicola) View in CoL sp. New record

Galápagos host: Laterallus spilonotus (Gould, 1841) .

Galápagos locality: Isla Santiago.

Galápagos reference: This paper.

Other significant references: Emerson (1955).

Material examined: 1 male and 1 female (1 sample, MONZ) .

Remarks: Rallicola is a new genus record for the Galápagos Islands. We leave this louse population without a species name until a thorough systematic revision of the subgenus Rallicola (Rallicola) parasitising species of the order Gruiformes becomes available. Rallicola sp. is one of three louse species recorded for the first time from Laterallus spilonotus in this paper.
