| Abstract: | A new synonymy is proposed between Philopterus antarcticus Wood, 1937 and Saemundssonia nivea Timmermann, 1956 (both with type host Pagodroma nivea (Forster, 1777)). It is based on the examination and comparison of the type specimens of both nominal species, as well as several additional samples of Saemundssonia lice from Pagodroma nivea and Thallassoica antarctica (Gmelin, 1789). The present status of the senior synonym is Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) antarctica (Wood, 1937). |
