Remarks: Coquimbo, Concepción and Valdivia are new locality records for Piagetiella chilensis in Chile, based on samples from Pelecanus thagus held in MONZ and in NHML ( Shchedrina et al. 2017). In addition, the NHML collection contains many other specimens of Piagetiella chilensis from Pelecanus thagus from Chile, without specific localities ( Shchedrina et al. 2017).
