Lectotype ♂ in EMEC (see Palma 2015b: 151, figs 1, 3).

Type host: Stercorarius chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857) (see Palma 2015b: 151).

Chilean host: Stercorarius chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857).

Other hosts: Stercorarius antarcticus antarcticus (Lesson, 1831) (not confirmed; see Palma 2015b: 154); Stercorarius maccormicki (Saunders, 1893).

Chilean locality: Canal Smyth: Region XII.
