Saemundssonia (Puffinoecus) puellula Timmermann, 1965 ; Palma 2017: 193. Holotype ♂ in NHML. Type host: Puffinus pacificus cuneatus Salvin, 1888 . Chilean host: Puffinus creatopus Coues, 1864 . Other hosts: Puffinus gravis (O’Reilly, 1818) ; Puffinus pacificus pacificus (Gmelin, 1789) . Chilean locality: Masatierra Island (Juan Fernández Islands): Region V. Geographic distribution: Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Chilean reference: This catalogue. Other significant references: Pilgrim & Palma (1982); Palma (1994); Mey (1989); Martín-Mateo (1996); Palma

(1996: 227); Price et al. (2003). Palma (2010: 409); Palma (2017). Remarks: This is the first record of Saemundssonia (Puffinoecus) puellula from Chile, based on one sample from

Puffinus creatopus held in MONZ.

Note: Ruz & Toro (1968: 135) recorded males and females of Saemundssonia on Sula variegata , but this is most likely the result of a contamination from an unknown host, because no species of Saemundssonia are known to parasitise any species of Sula or any other member of the family Sulidae (see Price et al. 2003: 364).
