This species was described originally from Agelaius phoeniceus (Linnaeus) (Icteridae) View in CoL collected from Maryland and Georgia (Ewing 1911; Kethley 1970). After the first description it has been recorded from five additional host species: ex Quiscalus quiscula (Linnaeus) (Icteridae) View in CoL from Canada (Manitoba) ( Hood & Welch 1980; Bochkov & Galloway 2001) and U.S. A (Maryland) ( Clark 1964; Kethley 1970), ex Quiscalus mexicanus (Gmelin) (Icteridae) View in CoL from U.S.A. (Texas) ( Casto 1976), ex Euphagus carolinus (Müller) (Icteridae) View in CoL from U.S. A (Maryland) ( Clark 1964), ex Euphagus cyanocephalus (Wagler) (Icteridae) View in CoL from U.S. A (California) ( Skoracki et al. 2008), ex Pheucticus melanocephalus (Swainson) (Cardinalidae) View in CoL from U.S.A. (Texas) ( Casto 1976).
