Carduiceps cingulatus subsp. cingulatus cingulatus (Denny 1842

Description

Carduiceps cingulatus cingulatus (Denny, 1842) New record

Philopterus (Nirmus) cingulatus Denny, 1842: 54, 146, pl. 11: fig. 3.

Degeeriella cingulata Nitzsch in Denny, 1842 [sic]; Harrison 1916: 110.

Carduiceps cingulatus (Denny, 1842); Hopkins & Clay 1952: 65.

Carduiceps cingulatus cingulatus (Denny, 1842); Emerson 1972: 37.

Carduiceps cingulatus cingulatus (Denny, 1842); Palma 2017: 102, figs 81–82.

Neotype ♂ in NHML (see Timmermann 1955: 529).

Type host: Limosa limosa limosa (Linnaeus, 1758).

Chilean host: Limosa haemastica (Linnaeus, 1758).

Other hosts: Limosa limosa melanuroides Gould, 1846; Limnodromus griseus (Gmelin, 1789); Limnodromus scolopaceus (Say, 1823).

Chilean locality: Puerto Carmen (Quellón, Chiloé): Region X.

Geographic distribution: Australasia; Eurasia; North, Central and South America.

Other significant references: Timmermann (1954c: 40, figs 2–3); Timmermann (1955: 527); Emerson (1972); Price et al. (2003: 161).

Remarks: This is the first record of Carduiceps cingulatus cingulatus from Chile, based on specimens from Limosa haemastica held in NHML (Shchedrina et al. 2017). In addition, this is the first record of this louse from Limosa haemastica. Contrary to Price et al. (2003: 161), we regard this louse taxon as a subspecies.
