Menacanthus gonophaeus (Burmeister, 1838)

Host: Corvus corax Linnaeus, 1758 .

Ref.: Balát (1977); Hudec (1983); this paper.

Locations: Slovakia (Balát 1977); Veľké Blahovo, 1 Jun. 2005 (Krištofík Coll., VETUNI).

Notes: Balát (1977) recorded Menacanthus gonophaeus from Slovakia without a host association. Considering that Corvus corax is the type host of M. gonophaeus, we assume that this is the host of Balát’s record. Furthermore, we can confirm this host-louse association with our recent material. This is a new host-louse association for Slovakia.
