Menacanthus gonophaeus ( Burmeister, 1838)

Host: Coloeus monedula ( Linnaeus, 1758) .

Ref.: Balát (1956, 1977) as Menacanthus monedulae Blagoveshtchensky, 1951 .

Location: Bratislava, 10 Oct. 1948 (Balát Coll., MMBC slide number 352).

Notes: Balát (1977) recorded Menacanthus monedulae —now a junior synonym of M. gonophaeus (see Price 1977: 208)—from Slovakia without a host association. However, based on other Menacanthus associations with Coloeus monedula , we can assume that this is the host of Balát’s record.
