” (
Beaucournu & Castro 2003
).
Note
:
Jordan
(1942a: 434)
states that the occurrence on the Spur-winged Lapwing is probably accidental; the true host presumably was
Ctenomys fueginus
Philippi 1888 The
same is stated by
Smit (1987)
, and
Beaucournu & Castro (2003)
.
Lewis (1973)
mentions the ocurrence of
E. o.
fueginus
on this bird without other details.
Ectinorus onychius onychius
(
Jordan & Rothschild, 1923
)
was found on
Akodon iniscatus
and
Ctenomys aigi
from Chubut (
Del Ponte & Riesel 1939
). Later,
E. o.
fueginus
was recorded on
Ctenomys fueginus
and
Vanellus chilensis
from Tierra del Fuego (
Jordan
1942a
). As all other species of
Ectinorus
are parasites of rodents (
Costa Lima & Hathaway 1946
;
Capri & Capri 1959
; Withing
et al
. 2008),
V. chilensis
can be an accidental host for this flea. This bird inhabits open grasslands, nidificating on the ground in the same habitat as the
Ctenomys
species.

Note 1
:
Del Ponte & Riesel (1939
Physis, 17: 545) wrote after the name
huincae
, “A publicarse proximamente en la Rev. del Inst. Bact., D. N. H.).”
Costa
Lima
& Hathaway (1946)
and
Autino & Lareschi (1998)
give the authority of the name to
Del Ponte & Riesel (1939
. Physis, 17: 545).
Capri & Capri (1959)
give the name as “
Parapsyllus huincae
Del Ponte & Riesel, 1939
(n.n.),” giving to understand that this name is a
nomen nudum
and that, until this time (1959), it was not published (nor the species described).
All other species mentioned by
Del Ponte & Riesel (1939)
as “
Parapsyllus
” with hosts in
Rodentia
, were transferred to the genera
Delostychus
Jordan
, 1942,
Dysmicus
Jordan, 1942
,
Ectinorus
Jordan, 1942
, and
Listronius
Jordan, 1942
, except
Parapsyllus huincae
[see
Costa Lima & Hathaway 1946
] (justly because it was never described?). The nomenclatural status of all names was followed by
Capri & Capri (1959)
, but
Autino & Lareschi (1998)
erroneously place
fortis
Jordan & Rothschild, 1923
,
ulus
Jordan
& Rothschild, 1923
[type-species of
Listronius
!], and
talis
Jordan
& Rothschild, 1923
[type-species of
Delostichus
!] in the genus
Parapsyllus
. Each of two other species,
Parapsyllus levipes
Jordan & Rothschild, 1923
and
Parapsyllus onychius
Jordan & Rothschild, 1923
[both currently situated in
Ectinorus
], were included twice by
Autino & Lareschi (1998)
, one in
Ectinorus
and the other in
Parapsyllus
. All species of
Ectinorus
[except
Ectinorus onychius
, with a record on one continental bird, which may be an accidental host],
Delostichus
and
Listronius
(except
Listronius robertsianus
) are ectoparasites of rodents.
Parapsyllus
[
sensu stricto
] seems to be specialized on sea birds (
Costa Lima & Hathaway 1946
,
Capri & Capri 1959
, Withing
et al
. 2008). In view of this, it is highly probable that
huincae
will be a true
Parapsyllus
because it was found in a “paradero de pinguinos,” and not an
Ectinorus
as was stated by
Autino & Lareschi (1998)
. With doubt, Smith (1987) situates
P. huincae
as a synonym of
Parapsyllus magellanicus magellanicus
, probably because the species was never described, and/or the “type-specimens” were not examined. The current location of the specimens of
P. huincae
is unknown.
Note 2
: The fact that
Parapsyllus huincae
was biting humans can be considered totally accidental, and not because humans were a host, as was listed by
Del Ponte & Riesel (1939)
,
Costa
Lima
& Hathaway (1946)
, and
Autino & Lareschi (1998)
.
