Abstract
The published type hosts of the louse taxon Nirmus triangulatus alpha Kellogg, 1914 are discussed and changed based on the examination of the syntype series and syntype slide label data. A lectotype is designated from specimens whose bird host is regarded as a natural, regular host (i.e. Catharacta chilensis (Bonaparte, 1857)). Records published after the original description of N. t. alpha are listed and discussed, and the current taxonomic status of this louse is given as Quadraceps normifer alpha (Kellogg, 1914).
期刊介绍:
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
