Reighardia sternae (Diesing, 1864) (Pentastomida) from seabirds in Antarctica
Specimens of the pentastome Reighardia sternae (Diesing, 1864) are reported for the first time in avian hosts from Antarctica. Mature female specimens were found in a southern black-backed gull (Larus dominicanus Lichtenstein) (1 of 21 examined) while an immature female was found in a south polar sk...
