Remarks: The genus Acronirmus was regarded as a junior synonym of Brueelia by Price et al. (2003: 140), until Gustafsson & Bush (2017: 59) resurrected it as a valid taxon. The Chilean swallow, a host of A. longus , is variously referred to as Tachycineta leucopyga or Tachycineta meyeni (Cabanis, 1850) .
