These records are most probably the result of human contamination, as discussed by Palma (1994) and Palma & Peck (2013). A lectotype of this species was designated by Palma & Peck (2013).</p><p>2) Ledger (1980) considered this species a synonym of <i>P. microsomaticus</i> based on similarities in measurements. Price <i>et al</i>. (2003) listed it as a valid species.</p><p>3) Redescribed and partially illustrated by Clay & Hopkins (1960). Additional illustrations in Tandan (1955).</p><p>4) Złotorzycka <i>et al</i>. (1999).</p><p>5) Balát (1966).</p><p>6) Price <i>et al</i>. (2003) listed both hosts as type hosts, thus overlooking that Carriker (1957) selected a lectotype and designated <i>Petrochelidon pyrrhonota</i> as the type host of <i>P. major</i>. No illustration of this species has been published, and the description is very short and unhelpful. This species urgently needs redescription.</p><p>7) Ledger (1980).</p><p>8) Palma & Barker (1996).</p><p>9) Records of <i>P. excisus</i> from <i>Hirundo rustica</i> have here tentatively been interpreted as <i>P. microsomaticus</i>; however, none of this material has been examined for this study, and both <i>P. excisus</i> and <i>P. microsomaticus</i> may occur on <i>H. rustica</i> in different parts of the range.</p><p>10) Clayton <i>et al</i>.
