Description

Degeeriella emersoni Clay, 1958

Degeeriella emersoni Clay, 1958a: 154, figs 28, 45, 78, 87.

Degeeriella emersoni Clay, 1958; Price et al. 2003: 173.

Degeeriella emersoni Clay, 1958; González-Acuña et al. 2008a: 283.

Degeeriella emersoni Clay, 1958; Moreno & González-Acuña 2015: 95.

Degeeriella emersoni Clay, 1958; González-Acuña & Moreno 2018: 262.

Holotype ♂ in USNM.

Type host: Buteogallus gundlachii (Cabanis, 1855).

Chilean host: Parabuteo unicinctus (Temminck, 1824).

Other host: Buteogallus aequinoctialis (Gmelin, 1788).

Chilean localities: Quillota: Region V; Cerro San Cristóbal & Cerro Manquehue: Region RM.

Geographic distribution: Central and South America.

Chilean references: González-Acuña et al. (2008a); Moreno & González-Acuña (2015); González-Acuña & Moreno (2018).

Other significant reference: Price et al. (2003).

Remarks: Because of their poor condition, Clay (1958a: 155) wrote that seven lice from Parabuteo unicinctus she had examined “seem to belong to this species”. The records from Chile listed above confirm Parabuteo unicinctus as a natural, regular host of Degeeriella emersoni.
