Fulicoffula obstinata Carriker 1953, sensu lato

Description

Fulicoffula obstinata Carriker, 1953 sensu lato New record

Fulicoffula obstinata Carriker, 1953: 158, figs 7–9.

Fulicoffula obstinata Carriker, 1953; Hopkins & Clay 1955: 181.

Holotype ♂ in USNM (Emerson 1967: 83).

Type host: Laterallus albigularis albigularis (Lawrence, 1861).

Galápagos host: Laterallus spilonotus (Gould, 1841).

Galápagos locality: Isla Santiago.

Galápagos reference: This paper.

Other significant references: Price et al. (2003: 181).

Material examined: 3 males, 4 females and 1 nymph (2 samples, MONZ).

Remarks: Fulicoffula obstinata is a new louse record for the Galápagos Islands, and Fulicoffula is a new genus record for the islands. The material examined from Laterallus spilonotus differs in some features from typical F. obstinata. However, we do not consider such differences to justify naming a new taxon; hence we qualify the population from Laterallus spilonotus as “ sensu lato ”. Fulicoffula obstinata is one of three louse species recorded for the first time from Laterallus spilonotus in this paper.

Genus Goniodes Nitzsch, 1818

Goniodes Nitzsch, 1818. Germar’s Mag. Ent. 3: 293. Type species: Goniodes pavonis (Linnaeus, 1758) (by subsequent designation).
