Philopterus fringillae

Description

Philopterus fringillae (Scopoli, 1772)

Host: Passer montanus (Linnaeus, 1758).

Ref.: Balát (1956) as Philopterus sp.; Hudec (1983) as Docophorulus fringillae.

Locations: Gabčíkovo, 16 Mar. 1954; Hrhov, 31 Oct. 1953; Járok u Nitry, 16 Jun. 1953 (Balát Coll., MMBC slide numbers 967, 1019, 1025; 1476—not present in the collection); Gabčíkovo, 17 Mar. 1954 (Balát 1956); Hronovce, 13 Feb. 2001 (Krištofík Coll., VETUNI).

Note: Contrary to Price et al. (2003: 215), we agree with Macháček (1977) who regarded Philopterus montani (Złotorzycka, 1964b) —described from Passer montanus — as a junior synonym of Philopterus fringillae.
