Host: Dendrocopos syriacus (Hemprich & Ehrenberg, 1833) .
Ref.: Balát (1956) as Menacanthus sp. ? dryobates ( Eichler, 1953c) .
Location: Gabčíkovo, 21 Oct. 1954 ( Balát 1956).
Notes: Balát (1956) recorded Menacanthus cf. dryobates from Dendrocopos syriacus , but this louse species is a junior synonym of Menacanthus pici and there has not been any further record of Menacanthus from D. syriacus (see Price et al. 2003: 366). This may be a new host-louse association for M. pici , a species that occurs on other 26 species of woodpeckers ( Price et al. 2003: 124), or it may be and accidental straggler. Unfortunately, there are no specimens of Menacanthus from D. syriacus in the Balát Collection to confirm this record at the species level.
