Ref.: Balát (1953) as “ Philopterus subflavescens ”; Balát (1956 , 1977 ) as Philopterus pallescens ( Denny, 1842 ) ; Straka (1987) as Philopterus pallescens ; Mey (1988) . Locations: Rohovce, 16 Mar. 1955 ; Sklené Teplice, 15 Apr. 1953 (Balát Coll., MMBC slide numbers 1052, 1553, 1554, 1555); Sklené Teplice, 7 Oct. 1953 ( Balát 1956 ); Vrícko, 12 Aug. 1982 , 15 Nov. 1982 (Straka Coll., AKMM —any slide from Vrícko, 12 Aug. 1982 is not present in the collection) . Notes: We agree with Mey (1988) in that Philopterus thuringiacus parasitises Parus major only. Hence, records of Ph. pallescens from P. major by Balát (1956 , 1977 ) and Straka (1987) are most likely Ph. thuringiacus .
