Corvonirmus latifasciatus
(
Piaget, 1880
)
Nirmus latifasciatus
Piaget, 1880: 143
, pl. 11, fig. 11.
Baja California:
Haematopus palliatus frazari
, San Martin Island, 1897, R.C. McGregor (
Kellogg & Mann 1912
).
Note:
One specimen of
C
.
latifasciatus
was identified by
Kellogg & Mann (1912)
as “
Nirmus latifasciatus
Piaget
”. The host record is most likely the result of a contamination because no species of
Corvonirmus
is a regular and natural parasite of any oystercatcher species (see
Price
et al
. 2003
).
