Genus Nealloptes Gaud and Mouchet

Nealloptes petazophorus ( Trouessart, 1886)

Hosts and distribution. This species was described ex Aramus guarauna (L.) ( Gruiformes : Aramidae ) from “ Nouvelle-Grenade ” ( Trouessart 1886). However, this species was repeatedly found on Threskiornis aethiopicus (Latham) ( Pelecaniformes : Threskiornithidae ) from Cameroon (M'balmayo) and Congo ( Gaud & Mouchet 1957; Gaud 1982) and the latter author unambiguously said that the record from A. guarauna was the result of contamination.

Remark. “ Nouvelle-Grenade ” is one of the old names used for the territory of Colombia, Panama and parts of Nicaragua, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil.
