Neotype ♂ in NHML (see Clay 1941: 124).

Type host: Meleagris gallopavo Linnaeus, 1758.

Chilean host: Gallus gallus domesticus Brisson, 1760.

Other host: Meleagris ocellata Cuvier, 1820.

Chilean localities: Not given.

Geographic distribution: All continents, except Antarctica.

Chilean references: Roman-Bolelli (1947); González-Acuña et al. (2009).

Other significant references: KÉler (1939); Clay (1941); SÉguy (1944); Clay & Hopkins (1950: 261); Emerson (1962: 198, figs 4–6); Palma (1996: 164); Price et al. (2003: 162); Martín-Mateo (2009: 40, figs 5d, 10); Maturano & Daemon (2014); Palma (2017).

Remarks: Chelopistes meleagridis was introduced to Chile and other countries by human agency with turkeys. The Chilean record from Gallus gallus domesticus may be due to contamination from Meleagris gallopavo in captive conditions.
