Philopterus fringillae
(
Scopoli, 1772
)
Host:
Pyrrhula pyrrhula
(
Linnaeus, 1758
)
.
Ref.:
Bush
et al
. (2018)
.
Location:
Tatranská Javorina,
Jun.–Jul. 2015
(
Bush
et al
. 2018
).
Notes:
Pyrrhula pyrrhula
is parasitised by
Philopterus citrinellae
(see
Price
et al
. 2003: 213
; also see above). Considering that
Bush
et al
. (2018: 44)
did not discuss the unusual host-louse association they recorded for
Philopterus fringillae
, we can only speculate if their record is the result of a natural host switching or an contamination during or after collecting the lice.
