Description

Austromenopon fuscofasciatum (Piaget, 1880) New record

Menopon fuscofasciatum Piaget, 1880: 492, pl. 40: fig. 9.

Menopon fuscofasciatum Piaget, 1880; Harrison 1916: 37.

Austromenopon fuscofasciatum (Piaget, 1880); Hopkins & Clay 1952: 47.

Austromenopon fuscofasciatum (Piaget, 1880); Clay 1959: 161, 164, 167, figs 16, 22.

Austromenopon fuscofasciatum (Piaget, 1880); Cohen et al. 1997: 186.

Austromenopon fuscofasciatum (Piaget, 1880); Price et al. 2003: 91.

Austromenopon fuscofasciatum (Piaget, 1880); Palma 2017: 46.

Lectotype ♀ in NHML (see Clay 1949a: 829).

Type host: Stercorarius pomarinus (Temminck, 1815).

Chilean host: Stercorarius chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857).

Other hosts: Stercorarius antarcticus hamiltoni (Hagen, 1952); Stercorarius antarcticus lonnbergi (Mathews, 1912); Stercorarius maccormicki Saunders, 1893; Stercorarius parasiticus (Linnaeus, 1758); Stercorarius longicaudus Vieillot, 1819.

Chilean locality: Canal Smyth (Magallanes): Region XII.

Geographic distribution: Cosmopolitan.

Chilean references: Cohen et al. (1997); this catalogue.

Other significant references: Clay (1949: 829); Clay (1959); Clay & Moreby (1967: 158, fig. 66); Price et al. (2003); Hänel & Palma (2007: 112, 121, 131); Palma (2017).

Remarks: Although Cohen et al. (1997) listed this louse species from Stercorarius chilensis (as Catharacta), they did not record any samples. Therefore, this is the first record of Austromenopon fuscofasciatum from Chile, based on specimens held in MONZ.
