Description

Myrsidea quadrifasciata quadrifasciata (Piaget, 1880)

Menopon quadrifasciatum Piaget, 1880: 440, pl. 35: fig. 6.

Myrsidea quadrifasciata Piaget, 1880 [sic]; Harrison 1916: 59.

Myrsidea quadrifasciata (Piaget, 1880); Hopkins & Clay 1952: 232.

Myrsidea quadrifasciata (Piaget, 1880); Price et al. 2003: 131.

Myrsidea quadrifasciata (Piaget, 1880); Oyarzún-Ruiz et al. 2021: 4, fig. 4.

Myrsidea quadrifasciata quadrifasciata (Piaget, 1880); Sychra et al. 2021: 393.

Syntypes lost (see Clay 1949a: 910).

Type host: Passer domesticus domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758).

Chilean host: Passer domesticus (Linnaeus, 1758).

Other hosts: Passer montanus (Linnaeus, 1758); Plectrophenax nivalis (Linnaeus, 1758).

Chilean localities: Chillán: Region XVI; Las Mariposas (Ñuble): Region XVI.

Geographic distribution: All continents, except Antarctica.

Chilean reference: Oyarzún-Ruiz et al. (2021).

Other significant references: Brown & Wilson (1975: 158); Price et al. (2003); Sychra et al. (2021).

Remarks: Myrsidea quadrifasciata quadrifasciata was introduced to Chile by human agency with house sparrows (Martínez-Piña & González-Cifuentes 2004: 219; Oyarzún-Ruiz et al. 2021: 2). The male and female depicted in photos by Oyarzún-Ruiz et al. (2021: fig. 4) do not belong to Myrsidea q. quadrifasciata because they clearly show well-developed pharyngeal sclerites, unlike those in Sychra et al. (2021: figs 19–20) (O. Sychra pers. comm. Aug. 2021).
