Quadraceps birostris
(
Giebel, 1874
)
Nirmus birostris
Giebel, 1874: 174
.
Colima:
Onychoprion anaethetus
, Socorro Island, 1897
, R.C. McGregor (
Kellogg & Mann 1912
).
Notes:
Specimens of
Q. birostris
were identified as “
Nirmus gloriosus
Kellogg and Kuwana
” by
Kellogg & Mann (1912)
. This record is most likely the result of a contamination because
Q. birostris
is a regular and natural parasite of
Onychoprion fuscatus
only (see
Price
et al
. 2003
). The locality (Socorro Island) was recorded as belonging to the State of Baja California; however, this island is in the Archipelago of Revillagigedo located in the State of Colima (INEGI 2014).
