Lectotype ♂ in EMEC (designated below).

Type host: Camarhynchus psittacula affinis Ridgway, 1894 , in error (see Emerson 1972: 154).

Galápagos host: Sterna fuscata crissalis (Lawrence, 1872) .

Galápagos locality: Isla Darwin.

Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 10); Thompson (1939); Ward

(1955: 91); Linsley & Usinger (1966).

Other significant references: Emerson (1972: 154); Ward & Downey (1973: 395); Price et al. (2003: 232).

Material examined: 3 males, 8 females and 1 nymph (3 samples, EMEC) .

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined the “ lectotype ” male and the “ paralectotype ” female of

Docophorus albemarlensis View in CoL , both from an incorrect host (see above). In addition to the material examined quoted above—recorded by Kellogg (1906: 316) as Docophorus albemarlensis View in CoL and D. melanocephalus View in CoL from Sterna fuscata View in CoL (as Sterna fuliginosus )—we examined and identified as Saemundssonia ( S.) albemarlensis View in CoL eight males and six females reported by Kellogg & Kuwana (1902: 462) and Kellogg (1906: 316) from incorrect hosts. At present, Sterna fuscata View in CoL is the only host of this louse species ( Price et al. 2003: 232).

One label of the “ lectotype ” slide of Docophorus albemarlensis View in CoL reads “T. Clay det. / LECTOTYPE ♂ ”. However, we have been unable to find the formal published designation of this specimen as the lectotype. Therefore, we herewith designate the male on Kellogg Collection slide 1103c “fig-d” as the lectotype of Docophorus albemarlensis View in CoL , and the remaining female on slide 1065a, as a paralectotype, both contaminants on Camarhynchus psittacula affinis View in CoL and deposited in EMEC.
