Type host: Macronectes giganteus (Gmelin, 1789). Chilean host: Macronectes giganteus (Gmelin, 1789). Other host: Macronectes halli Mathews, 1912. Chilean localities: Coloso (Antofagasta): Region II; Masatierra Island (Juan Fernández Islands): Region V. Geographic distribution: Southern Hemisphere. Chilean references: Thompson (1940a); Clay (1940a: 308). Other significant references: KÉler (1957a); Timmermann (1965); Clay & Moreby (1967); Pilgrim & Palma (1982: 6); Palma (1996: 197); Price et al. (2003: 205); Page et al. (2004: 641, 649); Hänel & Palma (2007: 113, 126, 129); Palma (2010: 408); Palma (2017). Remarks: Paraclisis obscura is highly prevalent among the lice parasitic on giant petrels (Macronectes spp.) (R.L. Palma pers. observation). The neotype and several neoparatypes of Paraclisis obscura are from “ Chile ”, without specific localities, and held in NHML (Shchedrina et al. 2017). Coloso is a new locality record for P. obscura in Chile, based on a sample from Macronectes giganteus held in NHML (Shchedrina et al. 2017). Thompson (1940a: 641) recorded a few specimens of P. obscura from Masatierra Island without host data, citing Diomedea melanophrys as a host “open to doubt”.
