“
Brueelia beroica
Touleshkov
”
and “
Picicola berojica
Touleshkov
”
Host
:
Picus viridis
Linnaeus, 1758
—green woodpecker.
Remarks.
“
Brueelia beroica
”
was first mentioned by
Touleshkov (1962)
and again as “
Picicola berojica
” by
Touleshkov (1964)
.
Ilieva (2009)
noted that this species has never been described and that it is a
nomen nudum
. The lice that
Touleshkov (1962
,
1964
) intended, but failed to describe, may be common on hosts in
Bulgaria
, considering that
Touleshkov (1962
,
1964
) reported a total of 61 speciemsn from several localities.
