Lectotype ♀ in NHML (see Palma 2011: 29).

Type host: Type host: Hydrobates pelagicus ( Linnaeus, 1758) .

Chilean hosts: Fregetta grallaria (Viellot, 1817) ; Oceanites gracilis gracilis (Elliot, 1859) ; Oceanites oceanicus oceanicus (Kuhl, 1820) ; Oceanodroma markhami (Salvin, 1883) ; Oceanodroma tethys kelsalli (Lowe, 1925) .

Other hosts: Fregetta tropica (Gould, 1844) ; eight species of Oceanodroma (see Edwards 1961: 156; Palma 2011: 28).

Chilean localities: Aduana del Río Loa: Region I; Mejillones: Region II; Isla Santa Clara (Juan Fernández Islands): Region V.

Geographic distribution: Cosmopolitan.

Chilean references: Palma (2011: 28); this catalogue.

Other significant references: Edwards (1961); Timmermann (1961); Timmermann (1965); Palma (2017).

Remarks: The record of two specimens of Halipeurus pelagicus from Oceanodroma castro [ Chile, 1969, T. J. Lewis (KCEM) ] in Palma (2011: 28) is due to a misidentification of the host, because O. castro has not been recorded from Chile ( Martínez-Piña & González-Cifuentes 2004: 68).

Oceanodroma markhami , Oceanites oceanicus oceanicus and Oceanites gracilis gracilis are new host records for Halipeurus pelagicus in Chile, based on samples held in MONZ and in NHML ( Shchedrina et al. 2017). Aduana del Río Loa and Mejillones are new locality records for Halipeurus pelagicus in Chile, based on samples from Oceanodroma tethys kelsalli and Oceanites gracilis gracilis held in MONZ.
