Remarks: Both subspecies of Halipeurus falsus are “wing” lice and the smallest members of the genus, exclusively parasitic on diving petrels (Family Pelecanoididae ). Palma (2011: 16) demoted the subgenera of Halipeurus to junior synonyms of the nominate subgenus. Therefore, this subspecies is listed here without subgenus.
