Spinus magellanicus (Vieillot)
This species of siskin was previously known (Friedmann, 1929:113) as a victim of the shiny cowbird solely on its having been so reported by Gibson, in the Cape San Antonio region in the province of Buenos Aires, eastern Argentina. We are now informed by Dr. J. R. King that he saw a recently fledged young shiny cowbird attended by a hooded siskin in Tucumán, northwestern Argentina, 30 November 1969. The siskin in Tucumán is of the subspecies C. magellanicus tucumanus, which is an addition to the known hosts of the parasite. The Cape San Antonio record, previously considered as referring to C. magellanicus ictericus, is now relegated to the nominate race of the hooded siskin.
