Colpocephalum grandiculum Kellogg and Chapman 
1899 = Actornithophilus lari (Packard 1870). The type 
is an immature specimen, and the correct host is prob- 
ably Larus sp. 
Colpocephalum pcetulum Kellogg and Kuwana 1900 = 
Actornithophilus bicolor (Piaget 1880). Absolute syn- 
onymy. 
Menopon striatum Kellogg 1899 = Amyrsidea lagopi 
(Grube 1851). Absolute synonymy. 
Menopon irrumpens Kellogg and Chapman 1899 — 
Austromenopon navigans (Kellogg 1896). Absolute syn- 
onymy ; with each sex being described as a different spe- 
cies. 
Menopon petulans Kellogg and Chapman 1899 = Aus- 
tromenopon paululum (Kellogg and Chapman 1899). M. 
paululum was described from male specimens collected 
from the Black-vented Shearwater, Puffinus opisthomelas 
Coues ; the Sooty Shearwater, Puffinus griseus (Gmelin) ; 
and the Pink-footed Shearwater, Puffinus creatopus 
Coues. I designate as lectotypes the types collected from 
Puffinus griseus (Gmelin). M. petulans was described 
from a single female specimen collected from the Sooty 
Shearwater, Puffinus griseus (Gmelin). The types of 
both species were collected on the same day from the 
same locality. An examination of the types proved them 
to represent only a single species with the name paulu- 
lum having page priority. 
Colpocephalum laticeps Kellogg 1896 = Ciconiphilus 
obscurus (Giebel 1874). Absolute synonymy, and the 
latter name may prove to be a synonym of Ciconiphilus 
decim-f as datum (Boisduval and Lacordaire 1835). 
Menopon decoratum Kellogg 1896 described from spe- 
cimens taken from the White-tailed Kite has led to a great 
deal of confusion. The correct host for this species is 
the California Cuckoo, Coccyzus americanus occidentalis 
Bidgway; and the correct name should be Cuculiphilus 
decoratum (Kellogg 1896). This species is distinctly dif- 
ferent from Cuculiphilus fasciatus (Scopoli 1763), which 
probably does not occur in North America.
