New host record.
DISCUSSION: The new host-louse record of Halipeurus kermadecensis from Hawaiian petrels –referred to as Pterodroma phaeopygia sandwichensis by Dickinson (2003: 74) —is further evidence that the Galápagos and the Hawaiian petrels are different species and not subspecies, as shown by Browne et al. (1997) with a study of the genetic diversity and divergence of those petrels based on allozyme electrophoresis. The Galápagos petrel, Pterodroma phaeopygia phaeopygia, is host to Halipeurus noctivagus (see below), a louse species extremely different from H. kermadecensis.
Halipeurus kermadecensis has been found parasitising two species of Pterodroma petrels on Trindade Island, situated off the coast of Brazil in the South Atlantic Ocean: Pt. neglecta and Pt. arminjoniana arminjoniana. That is, if the identification by Imber (2004: 36) of a specimen kept in the USNM collection (Reg. 503731) as Pt. neglecta is accepted as valid; see Hammer et al. (2010) and discussion under H. heraldicus below.
