Neotype ♂ in NHML (see Clay & Hopkins 1951: 17).

Type host: Anas platyrhynchos platyrhynchos Linnaeus, 1758 .

Chilean host: Chloephaga picta picta (Gmelin, 1789) .

Other hosts: Two species of Aix ; Alopochen aegyptiaca (Linnaeus; 1766); 17 species of Anas ; six species of Anser ; ten species of Aythya ; three species of Branta ; three species of Bucephala ; Chenonetta jubata (Latham, 1802) ; Clangula hyemalis ( Linnaeus, 1758) ; Coscoroba coscoroba (Molina, 1782) ; two species of Cygnus ; two species of Dendrocygna ; three species of Melanitta ; four species of Mergus ; Netta rufina (Pallas, 1776) ; two species of Oxyura ; Polysticta stelleri (Pallas, 1769) ; Sarkidiornis melanotos (Pennant, 1769) ; two species of Somateria ; two species of Tadorna ; Thalassornis leuconotus Eyton, 1838 ) (see Price et al. 2003: 144).

Chilean locality: Río Verde: Region XII.

Geographic distribution: All continents, except Antarctica.

Chilean reference: González-Acuña et al. (2005).

Other significant references: Clay & Hopkins (1951); KÉler (1960); Złotorzycka (1970); Palma (1996: 154); Price et al. (2003); Martín-Mateo (2009: 211, fig. 41); Palma & Peck (2013: 28); Grossi et al. (2014); Palma (2017).

Remarks: Many subspecies of Anatoecus dentatus have been described (see Price et al. 2003: 145), but their type hosts are not Chilean hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to determine which subspecies the samples from Chloephaga picta picta would belong to. Therefore, until a detailed revision of the Chilean populations of A. dentatus is available, we regard them as “ sensu lato ”.
