Remarks: Elaenia albiceps modesta is present in Chile, but only in the far north (Martínez-Piña & González- Cifuentes 2004: 174). Considering that the type locality of Tyranniphilopterus delicatulus is in central Chile (Region VI), the correct type host is Elaenia albiceps chilensis . At present, this louse species is known only from Chile, although the distribution of the type host extends to Argentina.
