Corvonirmus orientalis Mey, 2017

Corvonirmus orientalis Mey, 2017: 121, fig. 46–48, pl. VI: figs 2–3.

Type host: Corvus corone orientalis Eversmann, 1841 —carrion crow.

Type locality: Chingan, China .

Remarks. We have not examined material from the type host of Co. orientalis, but Mey’s (2017) description is sufficiently illustrated to distinguish it from morphologically close species. The closest species to Co. orientalis is Co. uncinosus but, as Mey (2017) indicates, these two species differ in the degree of tergopleurite reduction, in head shape, and in the mesosome, which seems much smaller in Co. orientalis than in Co. uncinosus . Therefore, we regard Co. orientalis as a valid species.
