 Type host: Limosa haemastiaa (Linnaeus) — Hudsonian Godwit. 



Carriker (1956) records this species from Nebraska and Kansas 

 and states that this species differs from species of Saemundssonia 

 collected from Limosa lapponioa. Bar-tailed Godwit, and from Limosa 

 limosa. Black-tailed Godwit, by a longer and narrower head. However, 

 he gave no measurements from these 2 hosts for comparison.
