Description
Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) platycephalus (Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902)
Docophorus platycephalus Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902: 461, pl. 28, fig. 1.
Docophorus breviformis Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902: 463. In part Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) platycephalus; in part Philopterus breviformis (Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902).
Docophorus platycephalus Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902; Kellogg 1906: 316.

Lectotype ♂ in EMEC (Clay & Moreby 1967: 165).
Type host: Oceanites gracilis galapagoensis Lowe, 1921.
Galápagos host: Oceanites gracilis galapagoensis Lowe, 1921.
Galápagos localities: Isla Wolf; Isla Isabela.
Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 18); Thompson (1939: 71); Linsley & Usinger (1966).
Other significant references: Price et al. (2003: 236).
Material examined: 1 male and 5 females (3 samples, EMEC).
Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined the lectotype male and two paralectotype females of Docophorus platycephalus, as well as three females reported by Kellogg (1906: 316) from Wenman Island (= Isla Wolf). In addition, we examined one female from an incorrect host and one male from “ Actitis macularia ” reported by Kellogg & Kuwana (1902: 463) as “ Docophorus breviformis ”, which we identified as Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) platycephalus. Price et al. (2003: 236) listed two regular hosts for Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) platycephalus, including Oceanites gracilis (Elliot, 1859).
