Betasyringophiloidus schoeniclus (Skoracki, 2002)

This species was previously recorded only from its type host Emberiza schoeniclus (Linnaeus) (Emberizidae) in Poland, Slovakia, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan (Skoracki 2002, 2004, 2011; Skoracki & Bochkov 2010). In the present work we give records of two new hosts of this species, Emberiza tristrami Swinhoe and E. rutila Pallas , collected in Russia (new locality).

Material examined. From secondary quill of Emberiza tristrami Swinhoe ( Passeriformes : Emberizidae ): 4 females; RUSSIA, Russia, Primorsky Krai, Partizanskii District, Novolitovsk, 9 km N, 42º51’40”N; 132º53’5.5”E, 2 October 2008, coll. S.V. Mironov (SVM 08–1002–9 /4). All material is deposited in the ZISP (ZISP–AVB 011– 2908–053), except 1 female in the AMU (Reg. No. AMU–SYR.430). From the same locality, habitat and host species: 7 females, 2 males, 23 September 2008, coll. S.V. Mironov (SVM 08–0923–5/4). All material is deposited in the ZISP (ZISP–AVB 011–2908–054). From the same locality, habitat and host species: 3 females and 2 males, 27 September 2008, coll. S.V. Mironov (SVM 08–0927–4/4). All material is deposited in the ZISP (ZISP–AVB 011–2908–055). From secondary quill of Emberiza rutila Pallas (Emberizidae) : 9 females; RUSSIA, Primorsky Krai, Partizanskii District, Novolitovsk, 9 km N, 42º51’40”N; 132º53’5.5”E, 24 September 2008, coll. S.V.
