Philoceanus becki Kellogg, 1903 View in CoL

Philoceanus becki Kellogg, 1903: 88 View in CoL , figs 1–2.

Nirmus separatus Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902 View in CoL ; Kellogg, 1906: 317. In part Philoceanus becki View in CoL ; in part Nirmus separatus Kellogg & Kuwana, 1902 View in CoL .

Philoceanus becki Kellogg, 1903 View in CoL ; Timmermann 1961b: 536, fig. 3.

Syntypes ♀ presumed lost (see below).

Type host: Oceanodroma tethys tethys (Bonaparte, 1852) .

Galápagos hosts: Oceanodroma tethys tethys (Bonaparte, 1852) ; Oceanodroma castro (Harcourt, 1851) .

Galápagos localities: Isla Wolf; Isla Plaza; Islote Corona del Diablo (near Isla Floreana).

Galápagos references: Kellogg (1903, 1906); Kellogg (1908: 29, 50); Thompson (1939: 213); Linsley & Usinger (1966).

Other significant references: Timmermann (1961b); Timmermann (1965: 161, fig. 96); Price et al. (2003: 212).

Material examined: 10 males, 20 females and 15 nymphs (7 samples, EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined one female labelled and reported by Kellogg (1906: 317) as “ Nirmus separatus ” from “ Oceanodroma cryptoleneura ” (= Oceanodroma castro ) and we have identified it as Philoceanus becki . None of the specimens (syntypes) mentioned by Kellogg (1903: 88) were located in the EMEC or in other collections holding Kellogg material; therefore, they are presumed lost. The two Galápagos hosts listed above are the only known hosts for Philoceanus becki (see Price et al. 2003: 212).
