| Abstract: | Three species of Saemundssonia Timmermann, 1936 parasitic on skuas are recognised as valid: Saemundssonia (Saemundssonia) cephalus (Denny, 1842) on Stercorarius parasiticus; S. (S.) inexspectata Timmermann, 1951 on Stercorarius longicaudus; and S. (S.) euryrhyncha (Giebel, 1874) on Stercorarius pomarinus as well as on all species of Catharacta. The name,Saemundssonia stresemanni Timmermann, 1949 is proposed as a junior synonym of S. (S.) euryrhyncha. Measurements and illustrations to facilitate the identification of these three species of Saemundssonia are given. |
