Emerson — Menoponidae

Menopon galapagensis Kellogg and Knwana 1902 = 
Cuculiphilus snodgrassi (Kellogg and Knwana 1902). 
Absolute synonymy, and the correct host is Coccyzus 
melacoryphus Vieillot. 
Menopon longicephalum Kellogg 1896 = Menopon gal- 
lince (Linnaeus 1758). Absolute synonymy. 
Menopon mesoleucum americanum Kellogg 1896 = 
Myrsidea interruptus (Osborn 1896). Absolute syno- 
nymy. 
Menopon titan impar Kellogg 1896 = Piagetiella pera- 
lis (Leidy 1878). Absolute synonymy. 
Menopon titan linearis Kellogg 189 6 = Piagetiella 
bursce-pelecani (Perry 1876). Absolute synonymy. 
Ferris has stated that Menopon tridens pacificum 
Kellogg 1896 could not be separated from Pseudomeno- 
pon tridens (Burmeister 1838). The author has com- 
pared Kellogg’s material of M. tridens insolens, M. tri- 
dens par, and a slide labeled “var C” with specimens of 
P. tridens (Burmeister 1838) collected from Fulica atra 
atra (Linnaeus) and believes them to be the same. The 
forms were separated only on size ; but in any large series 
from the American Coot, Fulica americanus Gmelin, 
forms representing all of Kellogg’s sub-species can be 
found.
