Syntypes probably lost (Thompson 1937a: 78). Type host: Charadrius hiaticula Linnaeus, 1758. Galápagos hosts: Unconfirmed, possibly Arenaria interpres (Linnaeus, 1758), Actitis macularius (Linnaeus, 1766), and/or Charadrius semipalmatus Bonaparte, 1825 (see Ward 1953: 203). Galápagos localities: Isla Isabela; Isla Santa Fé. Galápagos references: Kellogg & Kuwana (1902); Kellogg (1906: 316); Kellogg (1908: 18); Thompson (1939); Harrison (1916: 101); Ward (1953); Linsley & Usinger (1966). Other significant references: Timmermann (1969a: 233); Palma (1996: 224); Price et al. (2003). Material examined: 2 females (2 samples, EMEC). Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined six specimens from the type material of Docophorus peristictus : two females from Galápagos Islands hosts, plus two males and two females from Clipperton and Guadalupe Islands. These specimens were remounted and identified by Ward (1953) as Saemundssonia ( Saemundssonia ) platygaster . This louse species has not been collected again from any Galápagos host, although it has been recorded from a large number of charadriiform species (Price et al. 2003: 236), including the three Galápagos hosts listed above. : 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 page 61, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3627.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5261238 : {"references": ["Denny, H.
