Other significant references: Clay & Hopkins (1950: 243, figs 26–28); Tendeiro (1967: 48, figs 8, 11–18); Palma (1996: 143); Price et al. (2003: 139).

Material examined: 5 males, 1 female and 4 nymphs (2 samples, EMEC, MONZ) .

Remarks: From the Kellogg Collection, we examined one nymph reported and labelled as “ Trinoton lituratum ” by Kellogg (1906: 320), which we have identified as Trinoton querquedulae by comparison with identified nymphs from other samples, which included males and females of T. querquedulae . This louse species is widespread on a large number of host species of the family Anatidae ( Price et al. 2003: 139) , including Anas bahamensis Linnaeus, 1758 .
