“…It is worth noting that the subspecies of Parapsyllus magellanicus Jordan, 1938 show clear differences in their geographic distribution. Based on current records, P. m. heardi is restricted to the Indian Ocean (Prince Edward, Crozet, Kerguelen and Heard Islands), P. m. largificus is endemic to the Bounty Islands and P. m. magellanicus occurs in the Southwest Atlantic (South Georgia and Falkland Islands) and Pacific Oceans (Antipodes, Snares and Macquarie Islands) ( Smit, 1979 , 1984 ; Chastel and Beaucournu, 1992 ). The subspecies of Notiopsylla kerguelensis (Taschenberg, 1880) also show considerable differences in geographic distribution: N. k. kerguelensis is a common parasite of Procellariiformes in Subantarctic islands throughout the Southern Ocean, including the Antipodes Islands ( Jordan and Rothschild, 1908 ; Meillon, 1952 ; Beaucournu and Rodhain, 1990 ; Chastel and Beaucournu, 1992 ), whereas N. k. tenuata is an abundant parasite of the Antipodes parakeet ( Cyanoramphus unicolor ) and frequently shifts onto Procellariiformes nesting in the Antipodes Islands, but has not been recorded elsewhere ( Smit, 1979 ).…”
