Galápagos host: Oceanites gracilis galapagoensis Lowe, 1921. Galápagos localities: Isla Wolf; Isla Isabela. Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906); Kellogg (1908: 18); Thompson (1939: 71); Linsley & Usinger (1966). Other significant references: Price et al. (2003: 236). Material examined: 1 male and 5 females (3 samples, EMEC). Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined the lectotype male and two paralectotype females of Docophorus platycephalus , as well as three females reported by Kellogg (1906: 316) from Wenman Island (= Isla Wolf). In addition, we examined one female from an incorrect host and one male from “ Actitis macularia ” reported by Kellogg & Kuwana (1902: 463) as “ Docophorus breviformis ”, which we identified as Saemundssonia ( Saemundssonia ) platycephalus . Price et al. (2003: 236) listed two regular hosts for Saemundssonia ( Saemundssonia ) platycephalus , including Oceanites gracilis (Elliot, 1859). : Published as part of Palma, Ricardo L. & Peck, Stewart B., 2013, An annotated checklist of parasitic lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) from the Galápagos Islands , pp. 1-87 in Zootaxa 3627 (1) on pages 60-61, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3627.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5261238 : {"references": ["Kellogg, V.
