Remarks: Phalacrocorax atriceps and Phalacrocorax gaimardii are new host records for Eidmanniella pellucida , and Talcahuano, Bahía Concepción, Valdivia, Punta Arenas and Diego Ramírez Islands are new locality records for this louse species in Chile, all based on samples held in the collections of MONZ and NHML ( Shchedrina et al. 2017).

One female from Phalacrocorax brasilianus identified as Eidmanniella pellucida by González-Acuña et al. (2020a: 4, fig. 2a) requires verification, because Ph. brasilianus is regularly parasitised by Eidmanniella eurygaster (see above).
