Other significant references: Neuffer (1954); Emerson (1956: 77, pl. 9); Clay & Hopkins (1960: 47, figs 73–74); Emerson (1962: 196, figs 1–3); Palma (1996: 135); Martín-Mateo (2002: 112, fig. 36); Price et al. (2003: 125); Palma (2017: 71).

Remarks: Menacanthus stramineus was introduced to Chile and other countries by human agency with chickens and/or turkeys. Menacanthus stramineus is haematophagous ( Wilson 1933); consequently, it can be a serious pest of captive birds by causing anaemia and transmitting microorganisms that cause disease ( Derylo 1970; 1977).
