Description

Austromenopon transversum (Denny, 1842) New record

Menopon Transversum [sic] Denny, 1842: 201.

Menopon transversus Denny, 1842: 226, pl. 21, fig. 7.

Austromenopon transversum (Denny, 1842); Hopkins & Clay 1952: 48.

Lectotype ♀ in NHML (Clay (1959: 166).

Type host: Rissa tridactyla (Linnaeus, 1758).

Galápagos hosts: Creagrus furcatus (Néboux, 1842); Larus pipixcan Wagler, 1831.

Galápagos localities: Isla Genovesa; Isla Seymour; Isla Santa Cruz; Isla Champion (near Isla Floreana).

Galápagos references: This paper.

Other significant references: Timmermann (1954b: 204, fig. 15–16); Timmermann (1957: 97, figs 73–74); Clay (1959: 161, 164, 166–167, figs 15, 19, 21); Clay & Moreby (1967: 158, 169, figs 63, 73); Choe & Kim (1987: 3000, 3002); Palma (1996: 119); Price et al. (2003: 93).

Material examined: 11 males, 17 females and 31 nymphs (6 samples, MONZ).

Remarks: This is the first record of Austromenopon transversum from the Galápagos Islands, and also a new hostlouse association for Creagrus furcatus. This louse species is the only Austromenopon known from all species of gulls (Price et al. 2003: 93, 290).
