Material studied. 4 nymphs, VIETNAM: surroundings of the tourist center and ranger station in central part of Cuc Phuong National Park, Cuc Phuong, Province of Ninh Binh (20°15' N 105°42' E), 2 February 2010, coll. I. Literak.

Remarks. Turdus cardis is known as host of Menacanthus eurysternus ( Burmeister, 1838) ( Price et al. 2003) . We suppose that our sample the most likely belongs to this species. One of 4 birds examined was parasitized by Menacanthus sp.
