Treatment

Menacanthus sp.

Host: Panurus biarmicus ( Linnaeus, 1758) .

Ref.: this paper.

Location: Gbelce, 19–24 Apr. 2009, 19 Apr. 2016, 8–11 Jul. & 1 Oct. 2019 ( VETUNI) .

Notes: Menacanthus brelihi was described from Panurus biarmicus by Balát (1981b) on the basis of material from the Czech Republic. Subsequently, it was synonymised under M. eurysternus by Krištofík (2000). Our examination of the type specimens of M. brelihi deposited at MMBC and other material from Gbelce confirms that lice from Panurus biarmicus belong to a valid species different from M. eurysternus (Ošlejšková & Sychra, unpublished data). However, we list this record as Menacanthus sp. until the resurrection of M. brelihi is formalised. This is a new host-louse association for Slovakia.
