Menacanthus eurysternus ( Burmeister, 1838) View in CoL
Host: Turdus iliacus Linnaeus, 1758 .
Ref.: Straka (1987) as Myrsidea iliaca [sic].
Location: Turany-Trusalová, 30 Sep. 1982 (Straka Coll., AKMM) .
Notes: Despite both available slides from this host, location and date are labelled as Menacanthus sp. Straka (1987) wrongly mentioned these lice as Myrsidea . Myrsidea iliaci Eichler, 1951a was described from one female from Turdus musicus (now Turdus iliacus ). Clay (1966: 385) noted that: “This species is quite unrecognizable from the description … the type is lost and … nothing further can be said about this name.” We assume that Straka (1987) misidentified this species only according to its host. This is a new host-louse association for Slovakia, and it is also a new host-louse association for Menacanthus eurysternus worldwide ( Price et al. 2003: 132, Martinů et al. 2015).
