Chilean reference: Fuentes et al. (2015).

Other significant references: Nelson (1972); Price et al. (2003).

Remarks: The identification of this louse was given as tentative by Fuentes et al. (2015), because they only collected females. In addition, Fuentes et al. (2015: 281) mentioned another species— Ricinus arcuatus ( Kellogg & Mann, 1912) —listed by Price et al. (2003: 246) from Elaenia albiceps albiceps (d’Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) , which needs to be considered.
