[1] KELLOGG & CHAPMAN (1899: 126); [2] MALCOMSON (1960: 195). Host. Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus (Lafresnaye, 1835) – USA [2]: California [1]. Remarks. KELLOGG & CHAPMAN (1899) designated Heleodytes brunneicapillus ( = Campylorhynchus brunneicapillus ) as one of type hosts of this louse together with Myiarchus cinerascens (Lawrence, 1851) of the family Tyrannidae . As shown by PRICE (1977: 213), M. cinerascens is the natural host of M. distinctus , a species that has been subsequently recorded from other six birds of the family Tyrannidae . The status of “ M. distinctus ” from C. brunneicapillus is unclear, but we assume that Kellogg & Chapman’s specimens are most likely stragglers. Nevertheless, examination of further specimens from C. brunneicapillus is necessary to resolve this doubtful host-louse association.
