Pachyptila vittata
Pachyptila vittata (VAG):occurs in New Zealand,Chatham Islands and Tristan da Cunha, Gough and South Georgia Islands (Carboneras, 1992; Grantsau, 2010). Adults remain in areas adjacent to their breeding colony and the young are highly dispersive (Carboneras, 1992). It occurs quite rarely in Brazil, where there are records for PE (Rodrigues et al., 2007), RJ (Alves & Vecchi, 2009), BA and RS (Grantsau, 2010), so it is considered vagrant. Pachyptila desolata was considered a subspecies of P. vittata (e.g., Newman, 1983), therefore some of the Brazilian records are probably of P. desolata.
