Lectotype ♀ in EMEC ( Price 1977: 213).

Type host: Myiarchus cinerascens (Lawrence, 1851) .

Galápagos host: Myiarchus magnirostris (Gould, 1838) .

Galápagos locality: Isla Pinta.

Galápagos reference: Sari et al. (2012).

Other significant references: Price (1977); Price et al. (2003: 119).

Material examined: 1 female and 1 nymph (1 sample, MONZ) .

Remarks: Myiarchus magnirostris is endemic to the Galápagos Islands, but Menacanthus distinctus is widespread on a number of tyrannid hosts ( Price et al. 2003: 119). Sari et al. (2012) recorded this louse species from Myiarchus magnirostris .
