| Abstract: | The published type hosts of the louse taxon Nirmus triangulatus alpha Kellogg, 1914 are discussed and changed based on the examination of the syntype series and syntype slide label data. A lectotype is designated from specimens whose bird host is regarded as a natural, regular host (i.e. Catharacta chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857)). Records pub- lished after the original description of N. t. alpha are listed and discussed, and the current taxonomic status of this louse is given as Quadraceps normifer alpha (Kellogg, 1914). |
