Description

Paraclisis obscura (Rudow, 1869)

Lipeurus obscurus Rudow, 1869b: 30.

Esthiopterum obscurum Rudow, 1870 [sic]; Harrison 1916: 139.

Perineus obscurus Rudow, 1870 [sic]; Harrison 1937: 29.

Perineus obscurus (Rudow, 1870); Thompson 1940a: 641.

Perineus obscurus (Rudow, 1869); Clay 1940a: 307, figs 3d, 4d, 5c, 6d.

Harrisoniella obscura (Rudow, 1869); KÉler 1957a: 281, figs 1a, b, c, 2b.

Paraclisis obscura (Rudow, 1869); Palma 2017: 154.

Neotype ♂ in NHML (see Clay 1940a: 308).

Type host: Macronectes giganteus (Gmelin, 1789).

Chilean host: Macronectes giganteus (Gmelin, 1789).

Other host: Macronectes halli Mathews, 1912.

Chilean localities: Coloso (Antofagasta): Region II; Masatierra Island (Juan Fernández Islands): Region V.

Geographic distribution: Southern Hemisphere.

Chilean references: Thompson (1940a); Clay (1940a: 308).

Other significant references: KÉler (1957a); Timmermann (1965); Clay & Moreby (1967); Pilgrim & Palma (1982: 6); Palma (1996: 197); Price et al. (2003: 205); Page et al. (2004: 641, 649); Hänel & Palma (2007: 113, 126, 129); Palma (2010: 408); Palma (2017).

Remarks: Paraclisis obscura is highly prevalent among the lice parasitic on giant petrels (Macronectes spp.) (R.L. Palma pers. observation). The neotype and several neoparatypes of Paraclisis obscura are from “ Chile ”, without specific localities, and held in NHML (Shchedrina et al. 2017). Coloso is a new locality record for P. obscura in Chile, based on a sample from Macronectes giganteus held in NHML (Shchedrina et al. 2017). Thompson (1940a: 641) recorded a few specimens of P. obscura from Masatierra Island without host data, citing Diomedea melanophrys as a host “open to doubt”.

Genus Paragoniocotes Cummings, 1916

Paragoniocotes Cummings, 1916b. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (Series 8) 17, 101. Type species: Paragoniocotes gripocephalus Cummings, 1916b (by subsequent designation).
