Philopterus citrinellae ( Schrank, 1776)

Host: Emberiza schoeniclus ( Linnaeus, 1758) .

Ref.: Balát (1953) as “ Philopterus subflavescens ”; Balát (1956) as P. citrinellae citrinellae ; Balát (1977) as Philopterus residuus ( Złotorzycka, 1964b) ; Straka (1987); this paper.

Locations: Senné, 16 Apr. 1950 (Balát Coll., MMBC slide number 503, SNMB slide number 572); Gabčíkovo, 22 Mar. 1954 ( Balát 1956); Kláštor pod Znievom, 13 Mar. 1981; ŠPR Kláštorské lúky pri Kláštore pod Znievom, 25 Apr. 1978, 18 Mar. 1981, 10 May 1982; (Straka Coll., AKMM) ; Gbelce, 10 Jul. 2019 ( VETUNI) .

Note: Straka (1987) recorded data on collections of Philopterus citrinellae from Emberiza citrinella and E. schoeniclus , but without mentioning which locality referred to each host species. Here we mention locations separately according to Straka’s notes on relevant slides. Straka (1987) recorded one of the location and date for this host as “Blatnica, 11 Aug. 1977 ”, but it is most likely an error, because in Straka’s note on label of an available slide the host from this location and date is given as “ Pyrrhula pyrrhula ” (see below).
