Remarks:This record of an unidentified species of Ricinus from Xenospingus concolor may represent an undescribed, unnamed species.

Note: Sasvári-Schäfer (1966: 215, 218) in a paper titled (English translation): Two new Mallophaga species from the territory of the fauna in Chile described Ricinus capensis as a new species from Zonotrichia capensis , now a junior synonym of R. diffusus (Kellogg, 1896) (see Nelson 1972: 99). However, the type locality of Ricinus capensis is in Argentina, as stated by Sasvári-Schäfer (1966: 216, 218) in the same paper.
