Material examined:

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined the
lectotype
male and
two paralectotype females
of
Docophorus platycephalus
, as well as
three females
reported by
Kellogg (1906: 316)
from Wenman Island (= Isla Wolf). In addition, we examined
one female
from an incorrect host and
one male
from “
Actitis macularia
” reported by
Kellogg & Kuwana (1902: 463)
as “
Docophorus breviformis
”, which we identified as
Saemundssonia
(
Saemundssonia

platycephalus
.
Price
et al.
(2003: 236)
listed two regular hosts for
Saemundssonia
(
Saemundssonia

platycephalus
, including
Oceanites gracilis
(Elliot, 1859)
.
