Material examined:
9 males

23 females
and 6 nymphs (5 samples,
MONZ
)
.
Remarks:
Kellogg (1906: 322)
reported
A. navigans
from “
Sula variegata
”, but this bird is not a regular, natural host for that louse species. Therefore, although this is not a new louse record for the
Galápagos Islands
, it represents a new host-louse association.
Austromenopon navigans
has been recorded from several species of small albatrosses now placed in the genera
Thalassarche
and
Phoebastria
, but listed as
Diomedea
by
Price
et al.
(2003: 91)
.
