	abstract = {<p>Nirmus paludicola Kellogg and Kuwana, 1902, now Quadraceps paludicola (Kellogg and Kuwana, 1902), is proposed as a senior synonym of Quadraceps ernstmayri Timmermann, 1952 (new synonymy). The host-louse association between Q. paludicola and its type host, Butorides sundevalli (Reichenow, 1877), is discussed and deduced to be erroneous. The swallow-tailed gull, Creagrus furcatus (Neboux, 1842), from the Galapagos Islands is regarded as the regular host for Q. paludicola and is also the type host of Q. ernstmayri. Eight further species and subspecies of Quadraceps are reported from the Galapagos Islands for the first time, and are included in an annotated checklist together with all Quadraceps taxa previously known from those islands.</p>

	abstract = {<p>The identity of Nirmus obtusus Kellogg \&amp; Kuwana, 1902 is clarified based on the examination of its holotype, relavent literature and other lice samples from several species of other Charadriiform birds. The host louse association between N. obtusus and its type host (Sterna fuscata crissalis (Lawrence, 1872)) is discussed and deduced to be erroneous. The birds Tringa incana (Gmelin, 1789) and Tringa totanus (Linnaeus, 1758) are regarded as regular hosts for N. obustus, and evidence is presented supporting the opinion that T. incanas was the original natural host for the holotype of N. obtusus. The present status for this louse species is Quadraceps obustus (Kellogg \&amp; Kuwana, 1902); Degeeriella conformis Blagoveshtchensky, 1940 is regarded as the junior synonym (new synonym). Specimens of five other species of Quadraceps including Kellogg \&amp; Kuwana\&$\#$39;s material are compared with Q. obustus and discussed in relation to their hosts and locality records.</p>
