This species was reported from four icterid avian hosts ( Icteridae ): Agelaius phoeniceus (Linnaeus) (type host), Euphagus carolinus (Müller) , Quiscalus quiscula (Linnaeus) , and Quiscalus mexicanus (Gmelin) , and from one cardinalid species Pheucticus melanocephalus (Swainson) ( Ewing 1911, Clark 1964, Casto 1976, Kethley 1970, Hood and Welch 1980, Bochkov and Galloway 2001). Below, we give the record of a new host – Euphagus cyanocephalus (Wagler) .
