Material examined:
4 males
(1 pharate) and
7 females
(3 samples,
MONZ
)
.
Remarks:
Kellogg (1906: 321)
recorded “
C. grandiceps
Piaget
” from
Haematopus galapagensis
. Therefore, this is not a new host-louse association, although
Price
et al.
(2003: 289)
failed to record
A. grandiceps
under
Haematopus palliatus
. No specimens of this louse species were found in the Kellogg collection.
Actornithophilus grandiceps
is the only species of this genus known from most
Haematopus
species
(
Price
et al.
2003: 83
).
