Antarctophthirus microchir (Trouessart & Neumann, 1888); Dailey, Ellin & Parás 2005: 614.

Syntypes ♀ probably lost (Enderlein 1906: 665; Kim, Pratt & Stojanovich 1986: 46; M.S. Leonardi pers. comm. 2012). Type host: Phocarctos hookeri (Gray, 1844).

Galápagos host: Zalophus californianus wollebaeki Silvertsen, 1953.

Galápagos localities: Isla Fernandina; Isla Española; Isla Floreana; Isla San Cristóbal.

Galápagos reference: Dailey, Ellin & Parás (2005).

Other significant references: Enderlein (1906: 663, figs 3–4); Ferris (1934: 489, figs 285–286); Harrison (1937: 10); Kim, Pratt & Stojanovich (1986: 46, pl. 2); Durden & Musser (1994a); Barker (1996: 236); Leonardi et al. (2009: 1086, figs 1–7).

Material examined: None. Dailey, Ellin & Parás (2005: 614) reported “Forty-two lice” in 10 samples.

Remarks: This louse species parasitises several species of the family Otariidae (Durden & Musser (1994b: 140–141).
