Type host: Stercorarius chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857) (see Palma 2015b: 151). Chilean host: Stercorarius chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857). Other hosts: Stercorarius antarcticus antarcticus (Lesson, 1831) (not confirmed; see Palma 2015b: 154); Stercorarius maccormicki (Saunders, 1893). Chilean locality: Canal Smyth: Region XII.

Remarks: In agreement with Palma (2017: 178) and contrary to Price et al. (2003: 223), we regard this louse taxon as a subspecies of Quadraceps normifer (Grube, 1851).
